Cue the “but of course the GFS would show this at D10…its always 10 days away” by the same downers who said “but if this was truly a good pattern coming up, OPs would start showing big storms”…

I had white out conditions for a solid 30 minutes this afternoon but otherwise just light snow/flurries but everything is covered in snow again (though the deck is clear due to the blowing snow). Both models and LWX disco point to the evening when snow would accumulate/pick up in intensity as lift and moisture improves. This wind is nuts. ETA: And on cue, snow picking back up again.

Someone hold me

12z EPS has a pretty good signal for a coastal on the 7th/8th on the MSLP anomaly maps. Waiting for the precip/other maps to roll in.

For the Winter Storm Watch, from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning.

Temp down to 29 and wind is roaring again after a bit of a “lull” the last few hours. Gusts into the 50s and 60s again - trees are bending sideways in the biggest gusts. We lost power briefly earlier but thankfully still going strong. Had a few snow showers earlier that dropped a coating.

Yep, the wind sounds like a freight train…highest gust I’ve had is 60. Down to 39 and steadily dropping. I think we’re locked in for 8-12”+ this week…enjoy the chase! ETA: A few wet snowflakes mixing in with the rain.

Front passing through with downpour. Temp hit 59 before the crash. Wind is already ripping on the ridge.

Manningcast is straight up fire, so good

NBC really needs to move on from him in the offseason. CBS and Fox are so much better with Romo and Brady — they have both really grown into the roles IMO.

Ravens / Steelers next Sunday on SNF

This SNF game has been awesome to watch

Interesting temp story. Got up to 52 earlier today, then dropped back to 42, now back up to 50. And two miles south of here in Swanton is in the mid 30s.

Wait, is DE part of the forum?

I know, its easy to be pessimistic about snow in the area but here’s my HH preview of our radar in a few weeks

The mood swings in here really are something. Hard to keep up, I might need to double my martini dose.

Great pictures! Glad you got there safely too.

18z Euro has the NYD clipper with C-1” across the sub-forum.

He thinks the pattern favors south of NYC so he could be thinking higher totals here.

18z GFS upped the ante for tomorrow with 4-6” along/west of the Allegheny Front. Gusts 55+ for several hours - best to be prepared for power outages with that. Shows another 6-8”+ this week after tomorrow’s event too.

To my weenie eyes looking at MSLP anomaly maps, chance on ~4th with a low passing to the south and again on ~6th with a coastal popping.

Couldn’t ask for a better start for Baltimore

Fun week ahead for the mountains. WWA and we’re likely to see another or WSW later in the week with the NYD clipper.

Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches, with isolated higher amounts possible. Winds gusting as high as 65 mph. * WHERE...In Maryland, Eastern Garrett and Western Garrett Counties. In West Virginia, Western Grant and Western Pendleton Counties. * WHEN...From 1 PM Monday to 10 AM EST Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes. Very strong winds could cause extensive tree damage.

Better to be in the game than not. We have a pattern that looks conducive to snow vs a shit the blinds pattern. Let’s hope we have a lot of sleepless nights next month (from tracking storms vs utter depression from warm temps/rain ).
