MillvilleWx Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Guys. The radar looks exactly like what was planned if anyone had any doubts. There was supposed to be limited QG Vector convergence until between 12-15z, then things will begin blossoming quickly heading north. By 18z, there should be a formidable slug and by 21z, it’ll be a wall of precip. Heading to bed. One more mid left. Good luck to all. I hope to wake up to obs of SN+, ripping fatties, and puking snow. Have fun! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This gradient being shown on maps is insane. 12”+ with less than 3” 20-30 miles away in some cases.... either some folks expecting 12” are gonna be super disappointed, or the I-95 corridor is in for a little treat. so far: HP is a bit stronger / south of progged. Not sure if that means anything but there’s a decent CAD signature down into VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Orange, VA ASOS (K0MH) is reporting -SN. Good to see the column can support snow at the onset that far south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmest period between 3-7...if you stay more frozen this afternoon, you are overperforming. What an absolutely incredible contrast in Baltimore county, assuming that the snow map only counts actual snow as snow. It has my old home literally right on the edge of the good stuff, with a rapid drop just miles away. Makes for an incredibly tough forecast.

Verbatim I think I'm right in the 6-7 range but I could almost throw a rock northwest and hit the 12+ and drive 10 miles to my southeast and have 1-2 or so.
