No video, just sound.

DC deathband forming?
-
You look to score on this next round...big radar returns over the Catoctins headed your way.
-
Looks like another thump inbound after this lull...should hit the metros after 2:30. Hoping for a fun commute home!
-
Wes...M0.5" per a spotter in Dunkirk.
-
Cornflakes from the sky in Gaithersburg and the radar is lighting up to the west again.
-
Winter Storm Warning extended to Hardy County, WV.
-
The advisory is until 3pm I believe and the point-and-click for Gaithersburg has snow until 5pm(ish).
-
It would be great to see this continue through about 7pm this evening.
-
DCA M0.7"
-
Kline Gap in Grant County, WV just measured 7.5"...do they break 10"?
-
Sounds like Frederick Station 9 (New Midway) running a car under a tractor trailer. The Frederick roads go to shit so fast.
-
Radar to your NW suggests the jackpot zone will score in a few hours.
-
Just broke 1" in Gaithersburg. All dendrites now...the dendritic growth layer depth & rh option under SPC meso analysis has been money for pinpointing where the best snow is for this event.
-
IAD M0.6"
-
School systems are the 4th branch of government...they make decisions on their own consistently with seemingly no logic.

Roads temps are vodka cold and the traditional ice melt that's used on local or municipal roads in Montgomery is usually just rock salt. The good stuff it typically reserved for interstate roads...our road temps are below 22° in the county so the treatment isn't going to work very well. A lot of folks forget that brining and rock salt isn't designed necessarily to make roads wet and perfect during the event but rather after the event once the sun comes out.
-
Good catch, edited my post. Frostburg already has a report of 2". Definitely an over performer.
-
LWX expanding the winter storm warning to include Eastern Grant and Hamphsire counties in WV. Advisory being extended to Fauquier, VA.
-
Yea it's always kinda been there as @WxUSAF mentioned, but it's been especially bad this year. Interesting thing is that you always see a fake radar maxima just north of Germantown...that's the water tower from WSSC at the intersection of Kings Valley Rd & Ridge Rd.
-
Noticed that recently. LWX has been in VCP 215 for this event and it's not capturing western Montgomery / eastern Loudoun County too well on the 0.5° reflective scan too well.
-
Looks like the sweet spot of going to be from I-66 / US 50 north to MD 26. You can see the radar upstream back through Romney, WV blossoming nicely in that area. Might see a few 2" reports in the favored hilltops when this is done.
-
Yea that's a nice band on the beltway.
-
Appears on the SPC meso page that our dendritic growth layer RH is above 70% now north of I-66 so we should start seeing flake size increase shortly, if not already.
