Glad some of you northerners are still snowing. Here in Elkridge, steady snow last night had accumulated on all surfaces about a half inch when I went to bed. I was pretty surprised to be woken up by the sound of rain hitting my roof. Checked outside and it must have turned over pretty quick after I went to bed because there's a very thin layer of snow/sleet/ice out there on the grass and elevated surfaces. I was right on the edge with the Euro of 3-4 inches and virtually nothing, so the cutoff there ended up a little north of modeled, which is typical with most of our storms.

It was 30 in my neighborhood in North Baltimore when I headed downtown, sleet falling. Side streets are icy. Main roads were ok. Balt City Schools and a lot if not all of the independents closed finally.

Feels like the inch of snow and sleet on top of it was a nice payoff up this way for that first round. Skeptical of anything for second round but happy to have booked something.

 

Rain and 32 downtown now that I am at work.

Clarksburg, MD Total Snow: 1.4"   @ 6:30 AM rain Temp: 30

Congrats!  Clarksburg has a nice little microclimate going on.  I've seen times in the past when I drove three miles from my house to Clarksburg High School and seen snow on the ground when I had nothing.  I wonder how the High Street area of Damascus did.  I got 0.5 before changing to rain before midnight.  Here is another measurement just a few miles from you:

This is exactly how it went here. Half inch of snow, some moderate sleet, then freezing rain all night, although mostly just a glaze on the trees with a temp of 31.

I'm surprised that lwx cut back snow totals for tonight in the northern tier of counties. Last night had 3 to 5 in there point and click. Now calling for 1". Most guidance still puts down several inches along the m/d line.

You know it seems the Ukmet did well with this event . Not perfect but hey snowing really good here,  and this area is pegged for the highest accumulations.  

Ok, not getting 6 to 8 inches but did well.  

Looking at radar more to come still .

As for lmx not sure why.  Mount Holly has 1 to 2 during the day today, but little if any accumulations tonight , but they are mentioing sleet.

IDK.....Sleet looks like the primary precip type tonight in the northern areas. Maybe folks pick up another 1-2, but then it's a sleet fest. I'm not seeing any reliable guidance spitting out several inches of additional snow.

I think it's time to create a new description for rain at 31-32...a glaze on trees and hand railings and the occasional slick spot on step is not freezing rain in my book. From now on I shall call it....wait for it....crusty rain. Follow if you want...don't care if you don't. :hurrbear:

Nam 3k, Nam 12k ,GFS and the 00z Euro all showed snow hanging on to around midnight in the northern tier of counties.

Though it is a touch close the soundings on the 3K NAM do support snow until at least 12 am tonight just a touch N of Baltimore.
