Yeah giant snowflakes probably just under 0.5-1" per hour rate

Have large snowflakes with moderate snow in Easton...makes me wonder where the sleet line is lurking

Snow flake size and rate increased must have a little more warm air and moisture aloft.

I forgot how nice the crunch of snow sounds.

Roads are starting to cave, probably closing in on 0.5". Snow has been pretty moderate for the past hour.

Yeah early afternoon is advertised to be the heaviest rates

Snow starting in Easton, 30.9.

Snow starting in Easton 30.9.

Dew points are rising in response to the storm and temps are reflecting that. PHL probably still has dry air.

Just means the air is moistening up. But if it keeps going they will drop the WSW and put out heat advisories...

Yeah mine has gone up 3 degrees from 23 to 26, I think that is happening most places.

Good luck everyone, I hope the WAA treats us well.

23.5/16.5, seems the RGEM has the cold modeled the best for the Eastern Shore not sure how it looks elsewhere. NAMs were around 30 at this time.

25.7/16.3, one thing we do well is radiational cooling

36.5/15.6 on the shore.

Forecast wise not much has changed for our region it seems, best WAA Charles, N. St Mary's and Calvert with less totals farther north and east. Most of our snow will come then so hopefully we can capitalize on some more moisture at the beginning. Biggest boom or bust is @CAPE and @JakkelWx neighborhood.

Honestly it comes full circle 4 or 5 days ago we were having similar solutions with the coastal crushing the Northern part of our forum and then the suppression started, everyone (psu et al) panicked and now we are back where we started. I said 1"-4", snow to rain to dry slot for our sub forum at large a few days ago and these diamond hands are sticking with that. We might get some upside with WAA for Charles, St Mary's, and Calvert, but here on the shore the bar is at 4" for midshore and @Lowershoresadness the bar is seven snowflakes.

RGEM has been doing that, 2 runs ago @CAPE was getting 24"

posted in many sub, but relevant here, current projections fairly even, once the coastal is better modeled this will change

From Mt Holly, includes Eastern Shore, surprisingly even.

30.6/16, seems the NW across the bay keeping temperatures from dropping quicker. High of 34.

WAA looks good for Charles, St Mary's, and Calvert folks. Hopefully that juice makes it across the bay.

With the midday runs , I think my forecast from earlier still stands 4" to rain to dryslot.

So how accurate has the RGEM been recently?

Until that time comes who is the silly one... All jokes aside I think we have all seen enough of these storms to know the usual outcome. The last storm greater then 10" was 2016 where we all waited for the deform band to swing through as advertised and we know what happened. That storm I ended with 11" of snow and 2" of sleet almost all from WAA. Generally, these WAA to coastal type storms have not been the most friendly in recent years, any sniff of ocean air destroys our thermals pretty quickly and then we sit in sinking air as the coastal spins up.
