i was in deep creek several years ago and it just sprinkled/misted snow for about 24 hours with some occasional steadier rates.  kinda odd to see, but i had limited service so couldn't really see what was going on upstairs.

Very common there due to upslope.  For the light events, sometimes there's no returns overhead but the winds out of the NW will cause light snow for days.

Started up again about 20 minutes ago. Awesome to be around that band and getting snow much of the day, even if it's only lightly accumulating. Feel for those who are on the outside looking in though.

It is definitely snowglobe snow.  It has popped above freezing now, so it shouldn't be a travel hazard.

Lol this band is now filling in to the east a bit. I'm getting trained on in Germantown by it and it's wonderful.

I am so glad your area in Germantown is under that persistent band.  In Clarksburg this band since early morning hours is just back-filling!   I remember Jan 2016 we had over 31" and my colleague lived 5 miles down the road had 25".  We all were following the standard guidelines when measured the snow every 6 hours and yet I had 31" but not as much few miles down the road.

These bands have really made up for the bitter disappointment of Sunday.  I never did measuring so I'll be curious to see what people nearby came up with.

in NW Clarksburg I am approaching 9"!!  just incredible.  Based on the radar, you should get close to 7" in Neelsville  area

@Ka60:  do you mean approaching 9" using the standard 6-hour measurements, or 9" on the ground?  Despite being so close, Clarksburg can get significantly more than me down here at the intersection of 355 and 27.  One time in an elevation dependent event, I saw 3-4" on the ground a few miles up 27 when I had a coating of slush.

Cute picture there @wxtrix!  Likes to chase bugs huh -- just wait 'til the 17-year cicadas come this May!
