  1. Regional radar over West Virginia is showing the precip filling in quickly.
  2. Based off DOT cams, it's a steady snow west of I-270.
  3. Thicker low deck of clouds moving in now in Reisterstown. Looks almost like a proper winter day.
  4. Looks like your first legit warning criteria event since you moved to Maryland.
  5. This works well too: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/
  6. Good to see stuff is making it to the ground quickly...even with the lighter returns. 12z RAOB from IAD only had a thin area of really dry air just below 850 mb so it shouldn't take too long to get rid of that.
  7. For the northern folks, the LWX 1.5° base reflectivity scan seems to show some echoes increasing to your west from Cascade MD through Taneytown...looks like the northern jackpot zone is beginning to take shape.
  8. Based off DOT cams, it appears as though some steady but very light snow has started in Glen Echo, Cabin John and Potomac.
  9. Remember to report your first flakes using mPING app on your smart phone. The data help radar meteorologists and operational staff understand where precipitation is making it to the ground!
  10. Thicker mid level cloud deck moving in up here in Reisterstown. 32/19
  11. Thicker cloud deck about to move in....bye sun!
  12. ^take out those 3 or 4 high outliers and rerun the SREF.
  13. Loudoun got a late upgrade to 4"-6" of snow and verified with a 5" at JYO from a spotter.
  14. It really comes into play during the winter because it aides in snow growth.
  15. You want as much lift as possible concentrated within the DGZ as possible for as long as possible.
  16. For the Mason-Dixon crew, CTP just hoisted this to the Susquehanna River so you're probably set for a 2" - 4" event:
  17. Folks need to read this and keep it in the back of their head before they meltdown tomorrow around lunch time (from 3:00 pm LWX AFD):
  18. IIRC, you need to exceed the amount for a warning.
