TV Mets were really bad at 11pm last night. Seemed lazy and fixed on “too early in season” aspect of it.

I sided with them last night. Hard to argue with climb especially when model consensus was late to correct.

I wondered about that.  Figured Mt. Airy area did much better as per usual.  

I like that NWS broke HoCo and MoCo into eastern and western zones

Per CWG, DCA has reported 1.4" officially

If history is a guide, this figure will be lowered in the following weeks. 

[wxtrix]

sleet is now mixing in.

About 30 mins ago (7"). Nice fine snow flakes falling .

 

Looks like a slant stick to me.  Got 7 here as well as of 15 minutes ago.

Ha, this is exactly right and was about to say the same thing!

5.5” more sleet than snow. Not sure I’ll accumulate much more unless it changes back to all snow


.

Still a chance for overnight additional accumulations (especially the northern tier he says with a whisper).

Tomorrow morning 

[Eskimo Joe]

Nice wrap around.  Quick inch on the back side.  

[Solo2]

Duration of morning wraparound? 

[HighStakes]

Dropped back to 28.

[usedtobe]

got a whopping 0.60" of snow and then the deluge started.  Not a good day, our thoughts two days ago were better than those yesterday.  Kind of a bust.

Glad you got on the board!  

 

I think the CWG call was good.  Have to lean low given climo this time of year.  We don't get snowy busts too often, particularly at the low altitude/UHI spots in marginal conditions.

It's a shame that we couldn't get the 500 low to be about 100 miles further south.  It just nudged everything a bit too far north for everyone to score.  Still impressive that you managed over 0.5" in mid November though.

70 just W of HGR still looking pretty rough...

[JakkelWx]

Ripping raindrops and 38/38

[Mrs.J]

6.75” in my back yard. Getting sleet now. Went over to the Frederick Scanner FB page and wow what a mess going on all over the county. A snow plow/salt truck has overturned on 70E. 

When the plows overturn just stay off the roads. 

[clskinsfan]

Down to a light drizzle now. Finished up with just a little over 6 inches out here. Maybe a quick burst in the morning with the ULL? But regardless a great storm for any month of the year.

[Jrlg1181]

Sounds like a Civil War battlefield in eastern Augusta county near Waynesboro... limbs snapping and huge chunks of whole trees coming down..no snow just straight freezing rain, with some sleet..1.35 melted precip, with at least .4 inches of ice on the trees... Pines are taking a %$%#$ beating...

[Fozz]

Finally got home. Now it’s 32 with rain/zr, but we ended up 3.3”, which is damn impressive for mid-November.

I measured 3.8" at 12:25 PM.  it should be over 4" now 

Thanks!  I had someone at the house measure and it was 4.1" at 2pm-ish with a SN/IP mix.

[Eskimo Joe]

I'd argue IAD gets the biggest snowfall out of the three terminals today.  BWI and DCA just were on the wrong side of the coin.

[wxtrix]

the precip has really lightened up and so have the skies.  very light ZR for about the last hour, but now sleet is back.

[WinterWxLuvr]

Not home so have to go off of neighbors measure ... he says 7 inches and he’s one to actually use a ruler.

[WinterWxLuvr]

Near my house

[nj2va]

P&C at my house in McHenry is drool worthy.  2-4" today and additional 3-5" tonight.  

[Eskimo Joe]

Spotter reported 8" in Walkersville, MD.  Very impressive!

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

Freezing rain here, looks pretty. Much heavier clouds than earlier.

Sorry man.  Calvert can be tough sometimes.

[CatoctinRN]

Trained spotter says 7.5 for Thurmont, MD which is about 9 miles to my south on MD 15. Steady sleet now, very gray skies. Will be interesting to see what falls on top during the night/early am. Looks like another snow day for the kids tomorrow most likely in Frederick County. Roads here are a royal mess.
