Fun snow coating this morning in Ches beach.  Surprise snow is always the best :-)

Noticed that many of the precip maps have us on the higher side of numbers today but I think warmth is our problem.  We have been running 3-5 degrees warmer than DC/west all day.  Unless it's cold enough during the event that the difference doesn't matter...

Is it bad that I don't care much?  My current job is in Arlington so as long as they get enough there I don't have to make the commute for a day or two, I am happy with one or two inches of slop that clears up quickly.  Mentally I am already thinking spring planting like someone else mentioned.  Yes, you can tar and feather me now.

Though I am technically only about 2 miles away from the watch line so we'll see if that means anything.

What's going on?  I had mentally checked off winter as over.  Perhaps it was too soon? 

Everything looks pretty and peaceful but the roads are fine in northern Calvert. Good kind of snow for the Monday morning commute.

My official total here was a bit less than 4".  It was enough for the kids to play in and use the excuse for a snow day so we were happy.  Congrats to the other side of the bay for picking up awesome numbers!

Just a dusting so far but it's so cold it's sticking to everything.  Looks really pretty and peaceful which is why I love snow on weekend mornings, longer before it gets disturbed.

This is what we got.  Only on the deck and roofs, nothing on grass or pavement.  My kids are so snowed deprived they insisted in playing in it anyway.

I am basically watching models creeping north in the creepiest way possible.  Yes, come to me.  You can do it!

Hoping the line is north of us so we see some decent action.  We seem to be on the fringe here in Ches Beach.

A few flurries right now in Dunkirk.  Saw some late morning in Chesapeake Beach.  I was way too excited for how few there are.

We seemed to be spared a bit, huge breaks in the rain action each day.  Our water levels were high but not any higher than the norm for a few days in a row of storminess.  I was pretty impressed by some of the thunder though.  

I am loving how cool it is this morning.  A bit blustery (our gusts are about 20 right now) but so nice after the ridiculous heat this summer.

On a side note, for all the Southern MD people- I just found out LWX is having a Winter Skywarn class on 11/7 in Leonardtown- I will most likely be attending this one. 

There's also a Convection class on 10/3 in La Plata but I won't be attending that one.

Thanks for sharing!  I think I will try to hit up one of them also.

For some reason my quote function doesn't want to work but I live in Ches Beach.  If it ends up a sandy-esque storm NB/CB got very insulated as an inlet and barely saw anything- all the action was up in Annapolis or down by St Leonard's and points south.  Regular storms though you will get a decent view on the NB boardwalk or on Brownies beach in CB.

Let's bump this thread up, this weekend's storm could be fun for us.

Ha- right? Our forecast today didn't have snow anywhere and the freeze warning wasn't until 2am. I love these sorts of surprises. I had a feeling we may see something because our temps were so far below forecast all morning and we've had plenty of moisture.

Insanely heavy snow. Sidewalks are starting to cave now. I'm at about 0.5" so far. Looks like we jackpot again! I love this winter!

Me too! This winter has been great!

Big fat gorgeous flakes in Ches Beach. Amazing for so late in the season!

Approaching 0.5 inch in Ches Beach. Pretty impressed by that because it didn't start snowing here for over an hour after prince Frederick did.

I will be shocked if we have school tomorrow. The southern end of the county looks to be the jackpot.

I admit I had not been paying attention to models lately. I was sucked in by the warm weather and false sense of spring. Paying attention now!

Fwiw- our current weather warning is 6-10 inches of snow and 1/10 in of ice. And it's saying the changeover to plain rain isn't going to happen until after midnight. Quite a change from even a few hours ago.

It's possible. Our temps have been lower than forecast so far for the entire event. Holding at 24 right now.

About 6", still falling. Sometimes it's really great to get surprise snow! I really was only expecting an inch.

I am measuring 17" inches this morning but we have a few drifts that are over 2' in our yard.

I measured an average of 10 inches from various places in the yard at 8am. So much drifting. Last nights sleet and wind was so bad at 1:30am that both kids woke up screaming monsters were attacking their walls ;-)
