My parents are getting hammered in Southern DE by that northern convergence band. It really just wants to snow there this year. Insane 

It came down good for a few hours, but it's tapered to flurries in Rehoboth as the band sinks to our south. Picked up a quick inch. Pic of the Indian River bridge as we came back from Ocean City earlier.

A lot worse coming back- roads snow covered and it's coming down at a good clip

Pretty town in the snow 

Southside OC, picking back up

Ocean City 

Definitely coming down at a nice clip, but the ground is barely whitened. Goose down flakes

Coming into Bethany

I need to retire and get a nice low stress job in the Rehoboth area, and move there. DFH brewery would be a dream, but with my background I would get sucked into the automation side and be working long hours lol.

You know how bad the traffic and congestion is down here, though. And God help you if you need a doctor.

Get something good!

Lol I'm just the passenger, I love the ride down tho

Uploaded thru Facebook compressed it lol

Can't attach pics cause they're too large lol

Seeing some nice banding develop over S DE on radar. Any reports? @AlexD1990

Just got out of work in Rehoboth, driving to Ocean City to the dispensary. 1 is snow covered heading for Indian River bridge, and it's coming down at a decent clip

If I get 3 inches in Reston I’ll take 5 of you to Ruth’s Chris for steaks! 

Holding you to that...

DT Thinks I'm getting 6-9

Kinda ballsy calls from NWS with accumulations.

Yes, it's not over -- at least for us southerners. Most guidance was north this run, esp. the CAMs. Although I think some of the NAM positioning is due to diabatic processes in the model from convection. They exist, but it's very difficult to model and prone to shifts. Still, it would be great to get some non-linear cyclogenesis and "save" this one from mediocrity. 

From your lips..etc

This is a great picture.  Hope y’all enjoy the storm!

I really don't think we get much out of it this far north

2018 gave us snow even later than that.

Maybe for some I don't necessarily recall for my backyard. Definitely The forum on that side of the Bay has a really good shot up until maybe the last week of March but for me St Patrick's day is pushing it as it is. Either way I'm glad to be tracking before we enter a month or two of doldrums before maybe some nice severe weather.

My only real complaint with some of them is that they actually don’t know the climo. For example, Prince Frederick averages about 19” of snow seasonally, which is about the same as BWI. Same for Charles County and parts of St. Mary’s. Granted, I’m slightly climo+ this year and don’t expect that to hardly ever occur, but it also wasn’t normal to average 0-2” year after year like we have recently. I mean this isn’t supposed to be Miami- we do snow here occasionally, sometimes a lot. So there was a lot of normalizing the recent bad years as if that’s always how it’s “supposed” to be down here.

Do treasure every storm, because the long term trend (i.e. the “elephant”) in the coming years is still probably not anyone’s friend.

Amen to that. I think the average at GED is about 12". I'm probably a hair over that this year. I don't obsessively measure like I used to, but the last storm was about 6", and the big January one was 8-10"ish

Seeing late day sun shooting straight through the sidelights on my front door tells my brain Spring is really close.

Yeah I started to notice that subconscious acknowledgment of light after 5:00 p.m. and it really does make me start to want springtime...

But I also still want snow LOL.

I think it’s safe to say that anyone in this forum knows that snow is fickle and appreciates anything they get. Ji being one of the exceptions, of course.

Regardless, I do read your thread and am always happy when that area gets big snow. It’s exceptionally pretty on the bays and creeks.

Agreed. Check out this photo from the sand at Rehoboth in the last storm. People were building snowmen on the boards.

Nice to see at least there might still be some tracking for a week or two. I'm demented in that I want to at least have a shot through St Patrick's Day ( you can thank 2014 and 2015 for spoiling me and thinking that snow is possible this for South at that date lol)

There’s another thread discussion that’s been made for northern tier counties… as if dominating 90% of the main thread wasn’t enough for them already. I’m all for balkanization of the Mid-Atlantic subforum. 

That's just hurt feelings and sour grapes on their part lol. We all know that eventually the universe is going to even out and they're going to get a storm where they get 20 in of cold powder while we all get 40° driving rain. They always say "oh know your climo", like we don't know it already. That's why I do treasure every storm that we do get probably appreciated even more than they do because I know that 99% of the time we do fail.

WSW up for S DE and MD lower ES.

Honestly I'm kind of surprised they went with that and given the preponderance of guidance that looks like it's showing below warning criteria snowfall. I wonder how much weight they're giving to the SREFS and the NAM..

Just now, CAPE said:

It was 14-15 for me(or 13-14- maybe both lol).  I was within an inch in 2022 and the same currently for this winter(19.6). Because the Jan 2016 blizzard was a half storm here(only 15") didn't even get close that winter.

Just another case where your location will really color your memory of a storm I remember that storm as being  around 7 in of heavy wet snow that promptly changed to driving rain and 50°. Now granted we did get winds that were stronger than what we had today, that took the roof off of a building behind my house as I watched it which I will admit was pretty exciting but I would have rather had the snow.

Yeah I’m very surprised 

I don't get the reasoning. So they see some guidances don't?
