Paleocene

Unofficially measured 3" at 9am IMBY near down Silver Spring. Still coming down, might be able to hit 4". That would match my obs from Mon/Tues.

Silver Spring MD is a SNOW TOWN

Agreed. Luckily MoCo schools closed for tomorrow. So did Prince George's.

Damn, I was at an all day work event and couldn't check. We are fully in business, I see. LFG!

long range HRRRR is booty cheeks

we fail

At this stage, can we pull out weenie handbook rule #725 and say "at this stage it's appropriate to rely on mesos rather than globals" and ignore global runs that don't paint the DC metro area blue?

Even here in UHI melt-town, there is still snow clinging to tree branches. That is so rare here. My snowpack in the yard has barely changed...high temps below freezing...kids get another day sledding... this is the january dream, even without more to come. Another 2" is icing on the cake if it happens. Let's go RGEM/ICON, come on GFS.

MCPS just closed for a sun day

Just want to reiterate how much of a win this storm was for the fall line crew. We have gotten burned a lot in marginal events over the years, so it is awesome to see a storm where it's cold and the snow sticks to the roads. Seriously, the snow never sticks to the roads here. But this was last night around 10pm after rates picked up in my neighborhood. It was gorgeous - the kind of rainbow, light scattering pixie dust flakes we barely ever see because we usually get cold slop. And it's still cold today! 10/10 storm even if all I ended up with was 4".

Measured 4" on the grill and in the yard at 8am today near downtown silver spring.

lol "its raining in georgetown" is going to be the new "NE maryland pummeled!!!"

Rare that we see the Google traffic map look slow for the whole region. Snow sticking to the roads everywhere! Drive safe if you have to go out.

Closing in on two inches in silver spring, enough to sled! First time in the neighborhood since 2022... Fifth grader is happy.

Snow has gotten a bit heavier in Silver Spring, but the rates were too low to keep the roads covered since this AM. Piling up on grassy surfaces a bit. The HRRR is booty cheeks and I toss.

Wayne Ave in silver spring had approximately two tons of sand salt mix on it. All clear. Side roads not so much. Very fine light snow now.

Decent pixie dust coating in silver spring

Is that map based on population density? Or road density?

This is a beatdown

Anyone else enjoying this all time beat down of the cowboys? Holy smokes Oops wrong thread Obs: it's cold
