Well that was a real disappointment.
yeah, typical - but there could be some training/backbuilding going on to the SW so we might not be done yet... more room for further disappointments?

Constant thunder in Gaithersburg and it's getting legit dark.
yes, lightningmaps.org confirms increasing activity still west of I270 between Germantown and Potomac...

watching radar, I have a cell to my north (I'm near Laytonsville) and one approaching from my SW that seems to be gaining size/strength, gonna to be hard to avoid me completely at this rate.
-
STW just issued for central MoCo for the storm near Lowes Island/Great Falls area, moving NE at 25mph
-
watching the cell that was in Damascus (warned) approaching me from the north, may need a bit of a right turn to avoid missing me to the east (I'm just west of Laytonsville)

hail spike on radar. wouldn't be surprised to see some big hail reports out of it.
yes can see some purple on the COD radar from that cell, quite impressive for that area - looks like it will stay south of the NYC area if it stays on its East heading...

looks like a bit of a bow echo signature down to the southwest... could get interesting here in MoCo pretty soon - severe thunderstorm warning just went up according to my phone

Just now, das said:
+1. I've experienced it twice this winter in upstate NY a couple of times I've driven instead of flying to VT. First time(s) for me. They are remarkable and worth the trip.
I remember going to the Buffalo area in 1976, I think. They'd just gotten hammered (one of the biggest years for lake effect ever there?) - recall seeing homes where there were drifts so high, owners were tunneling UNDER them to get their cars in/out of their garages! Dump trucks everywhere hauling away snow since plows didn't have enough room to open up the (local) roads. Then it warmed in February and there were flooding issues...
-
does kind of look like lower MoCo and DC won't get too much from this band, and it's booking east so won't last long in any one area. But I'll take what I can get!
-
squall has just arrived here in northeast Montgomery Village, I'm just west of Laytonsville and a couple of miles north of the MoCo muni airport.
-
a few scattered snowflakes just started to fall here in Montgomery Village (near Laytonsville)

First bluebird sky starting to peek out. Can't wait to get home this evening.
Will we get to see that time-lapse footage you mentioned you'd set up for this storm? That'll be cool to watch with such a long duration but placid (wind-wise) storm...

good discussion of how this storm formed/evolved by CWG:

unfortunately no board to take good measurements with, but I did find somewhere between 5-6" for the first wave and 7+ inches just now with snow nearly stopped here in Gaithersburg (NE side, near Laytonsville). So, around a foot, probably with some compaction especially with wave 1. Sure was easy to shovel the 2nd wave, SO light and fluffy! Now will wait for my cul-de-sac to be plowed out...

What? They've been posting all day
I thought differently than Bob... I saw some nice big flakes this morning... but they were in a bowl, had corn in them and made by Kelloggs! #belongsinbanter

Worries of mixing down south is great news. Keep them coming!
Indeed! After all, they had their big snow back there in December... time for the northern/central areas of the forum to cash in big this time!

LWX snow map gets updated at 3:30 pm I believe.
looks like they were updated within the last 1/2 hour (about when the watches/warnings/advisories were updated) by Sterling:

at least for me in central MoCo, the CMC more than doubled the snowfall (7", vs. 3") from its 0z run. Yes it's the Canadian, but we can hope...
-
kinda looks like the line weakened some as it got towards I-270, there were some lightning strikes down towards Lowes Island on the Va. side of the Potomac, but little after that. Also it's very fast moving and not "training" so it'll be a quick shot of heavy rain and then outta here.

Yup, now central Moco under a flood warning. Soon we will be "flooded with warnings" (if we haven't been already)
