Southern MD / Lower Eastern Shore weather discussion

Guessing maybe another hour of pure snow in Easton.

Wind is really picking  up.

The models that seem to verify best right now are the AI-GFS and EC-AIFS models (with the HRDPS coming the closest among the traditionals -- it slowed down the coastal front more than the others). EC-AIFS has you getting above freezing, but only briefly this afternoon and interestingly, neither of us get above freezing on the AI-GFS now.

The slow-moving coastal front scenario and temps staying down more than forecast was a big worry for us at the office. Warm noses and CAD are something NWP in general can have a tough time with. We purposefully hedged lower on temps. Maybe not enough. We'll see.

Yeah 16.5 in Easton at 9 am...we shall see if that keeps adjusting, never underestimate flow off the ocean. In a bit of a lull, wonder if it is associated with the coastal ramping up? I am hoping to get some better bands to push through and get heavy sleet.

Crazy, must be rate dependent still.

[Lowershoresadness]

I'll measure in a bit.  yes rate dependent.  now in a lull again back to sleet. there is a crazy freezing fog in spots too

Mainly snow still in Lewes, but it sounds grainy as it hits the house. At least 3-4" eyeballed. Nice storm so far, and love that it's colder than forecast
