Did it ever. Here's the 6z forecast hot off the presses. 2"+ for me after the reality of 1/2"+ eyeballing it.

Maybe we will pick up an inch of sleet instead lol

By 2-3pm it will be sunny hopefully and get in my daily oldster walk outside since I'm not going to the mall. Lol

It’s a nice heavy rain though at least, been dry AF maybe we can carry the trend of more qpf into winter storm season. 

We like our cold rains heavy around here!

Morning y’all. It’s 34 and rain here. Yipeeeeeeeeee!

[TSSN+]

Still 32 here and been sleeting for like an hour. Roads are slick.

33.1 and rain.  Truly a gross combination.

Maybe some hope for our northern/western friends? Flipped back to snow here in southwest Garrett County. Temp slowly rising tho to 30.7.

this started off last week with the GFS giving us 17 inches.

 

If you look at ensemble members at this range during a time period where there is possible threat, they will inevitably show solutions like the one shown on that infamous 6Z run from last Wednesday.  Nobody ever takes that a random ensemble member seriously at that range.  But when the op shows it, people hold out hope, even if it never shows up again.

I dont understand why people never learn.

I am getting reports from both kids. The one in DC is not happy with her cold rain. Meanwhile the one up in Carlisle PA just found out her campus is closed today. And here in Frederick Co I just checked and FCPS MD is closed. My weather app says light freezing rain here. But I am sure up in the mountains it is more than that.

ETA with no kids in FCPS anymore just found out the reason for no 2 hr delay was today is an early dismissal day. So would not have made sense to do a delay only to send the kids back home.

When’s it gonna start. Patiently waiting

33 and rain. Yup. It's winter lol. At least it's actually raining and looks to continue all day. We need the rain. I canceled my catoctin hike this morning. Didn't look worth it.

My parking lot is a bit slippery haha. Walked out to my car and almost bit the dust. I think I’ll wait a bit to drive.

After closer inspection of the trees we do in fact have ice up here.

Garrett County folks - any pictures? Looks like the Bittinger mesonet has M1.1" snow?

@EskimoJoe from my front porch. About an inch so far but that was on either side of about 45 minutes of ZR.
