Yea, as @Bob Chill said. Big high to the NW and even Ian on Twitter is liking the potential. Next two to three weeks could be really interesting. Peak climo for cold temps too.

12z GFS w/ 41" at IAD, 33" at DCA, 29" at BWI in the long range. Somehow, Ji will scoff at this, but holey moley am I excited about the next three weeks. Could be an epic time. Haven't been this optimistic since 2009 - 2010.

Despite full sun, temps are riding the struggle bus. Only 26 and we've probably peaked for the day.
-
Some of the snow loss is due to sublimation from the dry, cold air. We see that with really fluffy dry snow.

Yea the HRRR and RAP were too dry across the board. When that early band was putting down 1"/hr rates along I-81 the RAP still had no snow.

Storm total of M5.5" New Windsor at 6:00 am.
-
If this system was just a bit more organize and juiced, some folks would've probably hit double digits. No worries though, we went from 60s this past Sunday to two snow events. Not too shabby.
-
GFS scores another win. It seems to out perform the Euro and UKMET with these northern stream systems.
-
We got alerted for a call at the fire department then canceled so I'm up writing the paperwork.

Starting in the DC suburbs. I'm off to bed. Enjoy the snow.
-
Gaithersburg airport has the ceiling dropping and better returns overhead. Should be snowing within the hour across most of Montgomery County.
-
Yea it's picked up dramatically in New Windsor. Legit moderate snow. Everything getting covered now, even the roads getting slushy.

Last couple of radar frames starting to show a Washington/Frederick band setting up and the snow hole closing on the closer DC/Baltimore suburbs.

LWX extends Winter Storm Warning for Washington [MD], Frederick [VA], Berkeley / Morgan [WV].

Friday, January 7, 2022 FEDERAL OFFICES in the Washington, DC area are CLOSED. Emergency employees and telework employees continue to work.

Good news for the Mason-Dixon crew...CTP just upped the advisory to a warning north of you.
-
One thing is for sure, once it starts snowing it comes down with a thump. Everything but the roads starting to get covered and it only starting snowing in earnest about a half hour ago. Definitely some good dynamics aloft helping this thing.
-
For those of you tracking on radar at home, if you switch to the lowest scan on the Correlation Coefficient, once the values get over ~85%, it starts snowing a bit. By 90% it's full snow. There's definitely a dry layer though...it was mangled plates and needles for a good 40 minutes before the legit snow started.
