Light snow has commenced. 30/22

In full disclosure...the AC is off. For now. Heat was turned on for the first time this season a couple of days ago. Temp was 54 the other morning and my wife had enough. It's a sultry 65 in here now.

I just had it running last week.

SnowMow2022 has been completed! Grass length is 1.5" - hoping to not see it for some time now.

34 here as well after a high of 37. Dew is in a good spot at 19...not too dry, but dry enough to wet bulb.

I can't tell you how many times over the years I've been under a Winter Storm Warning and received 0" of snow. Those warnings mean NOTHING to me, other than the obvious (impending significant winter storm is likely) How much snow piles up in my yard is not influenced by wording from the NWS.

That makes much more sense.

Criteria is 5" - not enough consensus that any given area receives that amount. Will some get that? Quite likely. It's still a better than even chance that the majority fall more into the 2-5" range.

I'm hoping for enough snow tonight to survive sun and near 32 temps Friday and Saturday. Then, give me a glaze of ice on Sunday to preserve the snowpack (and survive the rain later) which should in theory last well into next week given the temps forecasted.

Note how far north and west his 3-6" line is...

MU Final Call - map says 3-6" but in his text he's calling for 2-4":

@Cashtown_Coop Including .34" of QPF to my original call of 3.7" of snow.

You're not wrong.

Pedro's restrooms are a disgrace. He needs to get his shit together down there. Oops, I thought we were talking about South of the Border. LOL

MDT: 3.7"

I've made it to a BWI gate from my house in 1:20 - I'm talking about coming home, and including baggage pickup.

Definitely a plethora of solutions on the table this morning.

What time are you getting in? I'm usually home in 2 hours from the time I arrive at the gate at BWI.

It's definitely sped up - also, there seems to be the thought that it will race eastward only so far before progress slows significantly once the coastal takes over. I wonder if Globals like the GFS might struggle seeing that?

And Mt. Holly has it arriving there around 1AM.

That does make sense solely based on the trajectory. Sometimes it's easy to assume that any area south and/or west will snow first, but that isn't always the case. Snow advancement rarely moves in a straight line.

Sincere thanks to all who replied about the wind early this morning. Again, an odd weather phenomena that I thought was pretty cool. Appreciate all of you!

Start time is going to be interesting - CTP doesn't have the snow reaching the Susky until 10pm. That's WAY later than some of the short term models indicate. Not sure what they use, and not saying it will be wrong. Their graphic doesn't have snow reaching Bubbler until about 7pm.

It seemed odd to me how quickly the wind ramped up and then died within such a short period of time. Similar to a storm rolling through, but with clear skies.

Non-snow question real quick - for those that have weather stations, did any of you have a sudden, short spike in wind gusts between 4:00AM - 5:00AM? As I've stated before, my station is not set at a location to accurately measure wind speed. In fact, since I've had my current station up and running the past 3 years, my top wind gust recorded is 22.6mph. All night, my wind was between calm and 1.8 mph. From 4am to 5am, I had multiple gusts approaching 15mph. Judging from what I "heard", I'd guess the actual gusts were in the 30mph range or so. Did anyone else record this? As quickly as the winds came, they went back to calm in less than an hour.
