We are flying out of BWI this Saturday to visit family in Florida so this storm is happening

2010 was once in a lifetime. Give me a 2018 type winter (around 30" total with one big storm) and I'm ecstatic.

Snow falling thru super-cooled water droplets. I was showing my daughter the perfect star-shaped ones on the deck table. Pretty neat precip type. All snow in Germantown now.

Light flurries now.

Light graupel and 31 in Germantown

Wow you've got it covered -- parents place for coastal/beach blizzards, home for DC specials and Deep Creek! Lt rain and 43 here.

I look forward to NFL D-linemen getting a piece of Lawrence.

I was just reminiscing about the awesome December 2009 storm. 11 years ago today was our office holiday party and I was checking the model runs between having drinks and fun. I remember a post by one of the Moderators saying "welp, it's just about time for the Euro to pinch on off in the punch bowl" and another guy (Ian maybe?) said "If this goes bad I will intentionally roll my car on I-70" The Euro run was great and we had no stress leading up to that incredible storm. I cannot believe it's been 11 years!

Oh man in Jan. 25, 2000, I was between two bands like that for hours. I even had a peek of sun at one point. I ended up with 7" while areas to the west and east got 15-20. That one hurt!

I checked out their hourly obs - 0.40 for that hour, and they got 0.35 and 0.36 for the next two hours! Can you imagine. And all while in the mid teens.

Well look who's #1 in the region for reported snow amounts! 02:50 pm EST - 12/16/2020 2 E STEPHENS CITY, VA 6.4 02:51 pm EST - 12/16/2020 1 SSW MARTINSBURG, WV 6 02:24 pm EST - 12/16/2020 4 ENE WINCHESTER, VA 6 02:45 pm EST - 12/16/2020 2 N POINT OF ROCKS, MD 5.8 02:20 pm EST - 12/16/2020 1 NNW BERRYVILLE, VA 5.5

Freezing rain already in Germantown

I am impressed with RadarScope -- as soon as it had red/blue over me, I switched to snow/sleet. Eyeballing close to 3" just NE Germantown; hoping we don't go above freezing and maybe get a little period of snow later tonight. Nice start to winter!

Closing in on 2" just NE of Germantown. That matches my total for last "winter" LOL

Those 10Z HRRR maps posted on the previous page would be ridiculous for my area -- 12.6" snow, 3.9" sleet and 0.19" ice?! Now I know that's highly unlikely but it would be nuts. Even the new Euro JI posted would be a huge win compared to my expectaions. 27/20 at closest station to me (GAI) but that spot runs cold. I have 29
