    Must have done pretty well with the anafrontal deal yesterday. Barely a coating here but the radar looked better down that way. Hopefully you see an inch or 2 at least. Snow at the beach is pretty cool.

    Yeah from Salisbury to OC and points south got about 1-2 inches of snow with that front yesterday. More tonight! :)

    Good idea to issue the advisory tonight to be safe. Even if temps climb above freezing which they’re supposed to do very late tonight, any rain/drizzle that falls can still freeze on contact since ground temps are now below freezing due to snow cover. Especially on untreated areas. 
     

    Also, I’m hoping for more snow Thursday night! I like what models are showing so far. I’ll take the 18z GFS. ;)

    Yeah I saw. Haha. A lot of tonight’s runs are showing high totals like that. That tells me it’s going to rip! Although some of that in SBY is sleet. But I’m excited! Hopefully temps crash.

    I was growing up in Glen Burnie for the '94 ice storms- I know there were several, but the big one for us was the January one followed by the "Big Chill of '94" which made it impossible to clear the ice or even leave the house. I was off school for almost two weeks.

    The big one in Southern MD and the Eastern shore was in February, which was even worse from what I read (it actually got a federal disaster declaration).

    I grew up in northern VA and I remember a couple good ice events in the 90s. Can’t remember exact dates but I’m pretty sure ‘94 was one of them.

    February 19-20th Threat - STORM MODE

    NONE of the models are catching on to how juiced the radar is and how far east the moisture has made it already. Mount Holly mentioned this in their discussion and I posted it earlier. Radar looks very good right now. Definitely something to keep watching in terms of snow intensity and arrival time of moisture.

    Would this mean an earlier start or heavier precip at the start due to increased banding?  If it meant something?

    I believe they’re hinting at an earlier start. But I can also see a more organized system meaning more precip. But again we’ll see.

    Interesting observation from Mount Holly. Maybe models underdoing the initial banding lifting north, especially eastern edge? Or maybe it means nothing.

      

    ...930 AM Update: No changes made yet to the forecast for this
period, as we are waiting to see more of the 12Z guidance.
However, it is interesting to note that the current
precipitation shield extends further east (across the Carolinas)
than what the models had depicted. I am not sure this will
result in any significant changes for our area as models already
had the precip extending across our region by late tomorrow. We
will have a complete update on this system with the 4 PM update.
