Paleocene

I am a lifelong eagles fan, but transferring support to the ravens for this playoff run. They look unbeatable. Will be a great game in Baltimore next week.

I don't have real woods nearby here in silver spring but there are a few patches in local parks. Snowcover in the woods is the best. It's how winter in our once great eastern deciduous forest was for tens of thousands of years!

Backyard measurement in silver spring on the afternoon 1/19. Two storms within 120 hours of each other yielded some nice depth. More snow fell later in the evening, maybe a half inch. #slantedstick

Last 7 days

That 12.7 near me is a bit suspicious but I suppose possible with diligent board clearance.

It hasn't stopped snowing in Silver Spring all day. Amazing! The sun has tried to peek out, but even during those moments, it still snows. 10/10

Measured 3" this morning, then another 1" when I went back out this afternoon.

In the yard, we have nearly 8" depth on my #slantedstick! two storms is the way to go

Wins in western WV and southwest PA have shifted to the NW. Looks like we're going to shift to more dynamic cellular type of snow shortly.

Why is it that when I see a snow plow clearing streets that I becoming temporarily inconsolable 

that sound when you are walking around outside... tragic

Heavier returns coming in now in Silver Spring - this was the local park at about 9AM. 

 week here inside the beltway - roads covered twice!

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

Also, LWX mentioned possible CSI. I've seen that before and that kind of snow can pile up in a real hurry

I'm honestly really worried about tomorrow's commuting situation. HRRR has 0.5-0.8" per hour rates from 5-8 am which is the peak commute time and right now, I feel like the situation of this event is being underplayed with only an advisory for 1-3" and isolated 5". This gives me 1/6/15 vibes in terms of the chaos commute-wise we could see tmr tbh

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

Keeps sinking south.  Tick by tick.

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?

I am with you. I have snowpack and sub 20 degree temps going on right now. I will be happy with some snow showers that drop an inch at this point. 

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
