36/32 a coupla miles north of the Inner Harbor, some big mangled flakes coming down now mixed in with a cold steady rain. At least there's progress here in the UHI 

Rockin' now in Baltimore, torrential rain and quite a bit of wind

Thunder/lightning in B'more w/ light rain, line just to the west of my location

Yep, def pretty soupy here in Charm City, 95.5 IMBY at present.

That line from the west finally arrived, pouring in B'more, lil bit of lightning, but no wind or thunder as of yet

ETA: coupla mins later lightning flash followed by low rolling thunder but nothing close to severe, will take the rain though

See tree damage starting around 3:10

I was driving north on I-95 headed into B'more City around 4pm, just as I got on the flyover ramp to I-395 the heavens opened up with extreme violence, looked liked the video that guy shot except for, ya know, being a coupla hundred feet up in the air on the ramp with water underneath and not being able to see where the wall was while getting pushed around by the wind, def not the best place to be at that moment. Unfortunately, no video since, ya know, not trying to be a finalist for the 2019 edition of the Darwin Awards. Good times!

Pouring snow in Charm City, down to 34.9, roads/sidewalks caving

36.7 deg IMBY w/ snow coming down in B'more City, accumulating on non-paved surfaces, nice to not have pingers or rain mixed in for a change

Two inches and...holy hell it just went to legitimate ripping. If we can hold this we get to the 4-6 lwx  called for . 

Yeah just measured right around 2 inches in a few spots IMBY in Remington (B'more City), street is covered in from of my place, flakes had been small but steady for about 30 mins but picking up again with some phat phlakes mixing in. No pingers yet! Good times!

Where are you getting these from?

Here ya go... https://www.wunderground.com/weather-radar/united-states/va/sterling/lwx/?region=shd

32.5 IMBY in B'more City, temp has gone down a coupla degrees in the last hour or so. Snow is coming down at a pretty steady clip, cars are topped + other non street/sidewalk surfaces are caving.  

Just saw the first flurries here in Remington neighborhood 3 miles north of downtown B'more. I'm at about 150 feet elevation about a 1/4 mile to the east of I-83, humidity and dew point have been creeping up the last hour or so. So, now we see if anything will actually stick to the roads. It's coming Charm City peeps!

Anyone have a solid radar they recommend for rain / snow line? Still think places well inland from the major metros hang onto sleet / ice for a solid 4-6 hour period.

4-8” is a good call for the western burbs. 8” by skinsfan, 5-6” for myself and Bobchill in MoCo/HoCo and  3-4” near the metros

Got down to a low of 5.5 for an hour before Sun up, now sitting at 19.4, highest IMBY for the day.

Down to 6.3 IMBY in B'more City brrrrrrrrrr. Hope the car battery makes it through the next coupla days, engine def did the slow crank an hour ago.

Just started to see a coupla mangled flakes/blobs mixing in with the rain, temp got to 40.3 IMBY an hour ago, but started dropping from there, 39.4 currently. Gotta love the concrete jungle here in balmy B'more City 3 miles north of the Harbor haha but hopefully we'll fully flip soon!
