I was in the supercell 24 years ago as well. Very heavy rain HP supercell and then the back half of the storm passage was all hail. I did see what became the 2nd tornado/waterspout as this storm crossed into the Bay....but overhead in southern St Charles...rapidly rotating funnel maybe no more than 100 to 200 feet above us. The trees were swaying but none fell. That was immediately preceded by some clearing and the steam coming up from all the hail. Just an incredible storm. I drove down to La Plata and I remember so many windows busted along the way by hail. Then seeing the guard rails wrapped around the tops of the trees a considerable distance away from the 301/Rt 6 intersection. Wild stuff.

Vance AFB OK tornado is a Tornado Emergency now

Kink in the line is heading for La Plata/Waldorf from Dumfries.

The storm coming into Charles County looks to be intensifying, and has some rotation.

Tornado Emergency issued

Final total of 5.0" here and a 6 to 1 ratio. Nice event.

Pouring snow for the past 90 minutes!!! Glorious, all surfaces are caving.

All snow now and large chunky flakes in Charles County, agree with diatae^^^^

Snow is mixing in now here in central Charles County

Norlun from Frederick through Springfield to Waldorf would be awesome!!!! Event with such details and bands of snow that will boom and bust over such short distances

President's Day 1 Blizzard in February 1979 here in southern MD is the gold standard for winter storms......bar none. Extreme rates, surprise factor, massive drifting, low temperatures. That storm had it all. This one isn't a cold storm. But it could be a wet paste bomb.

27 degrees and steady freezing rain here between Waldorf and LaPlata

Avoid the potential devastating freezing rain event and then let's enjoy the big snow-sleet/mix/severe cold.

Steady light snow and cars being topped and mulch/grassy areas starting to whiten.

Flurries/light snow with small flakes at the moment.
