The Return of the 12/5 Snowstorm

[ge0]

Lots of crashes in western Loudoun. Roads not very good

[MN Transplant]

1.2”.  That band was excellent.

[GramaxRefugee]

28/23 Light snow, and calm.

Probably about 0.1" when I left home, but covering everything. Nice addition to the local Christmas decorations.

[konksw]

Looking gorgeous in NW DC!

[SnowtoRain]

25.3, light snow after a few rounds of moderate snow, just over 1.0" in Easton, pretty much as advertised from the models

heavy dusting in Owings mills. Everything is covered including streets 

Nice. The snow was just starting when I left Reisterstown, so my initial report for RSMT2 COOP site was a "trace", but my wife says it's close to a half inch now. Tomorrow's report will reflect today's snowfall.

Be careful. As you know, Reisterstown Rd is a shit-show on a dry day! 

Lol, i finally see some flurries.

1.4” in McLean. That definitely was a 1+”/hour band

Looks awesome! I got about 3" here. Very scenic with it sticking to everything. Not a high ratio event. Was a bit too warm when it started.

Glad you got to cash in Bob.

I got to the office early before things started to go downhill on the roads. Guessing the office will be a ghost town this AM...We should have delayed...

If this is what 1.4” looks like, imagine what 7” would look like.

Yes it is! When I did CoCoRaHS this morning at 7 am I had 3.8" on 0.36" liquid, about 10.6 to 1 ratio.

340 was an absolute disaster trying to get to work. Dusting of snow and people can’t drive. 

[North Balti Zen]

Just graduated to steady flurries in Fallston.

Still snowing but I don't think it will accum much additional. Lucky event down here for this early in the season. I'm building a large retaining wall and I'm pretty beat up from the last 2 days. A snow day is therapeutic for reals lol

You could have left the 'Dusting of snow' part out and still be correct. 

[aldie 22]

Still a nice steady snow with good flake size...probably around an inch so far. Models did pretty well for here at least

I just got to work in Frederick after getting on 340 there by the bridge to Harpers Ferry.  One of the worse drives I have had in a while.  Bet I saw a dozen accidents.

[Terpeast]

Popping in, at the hospital now. Just waiting for them to get the baby out. 

They did not treat the roads, so I drove us through the snow. Already had 1” on the ground and the roads were completely covered, and was coming down at a moderate clip. Everything was white. But we made it, and so did the surgeon.

As soon as the WWA was cancelled over Loudoun county, that band came up and just sat over us.

[DanTheMan]

Measured a crude 1.2" Still coming down light/moderately

Well played.

I hope so....it's also our holiday party today so at least by later I'd expect a surge of people coming in - including people we don't normally see...and thus "my monitor isn't turning on" calls....

We don't do IT "tiers" here so even as one of the managers....I take even the stupidest of calls right up there with my lower level employees. 

[North Balti Zen]

The steady flurries are coating the surfaces in Fallston / it’s pretty. At least not fully shut out. Official dusting.

1.) Hope everything goes well for mom-to-be and baby-to-be.

2.) Woke up in Carroll County at 5:30 am and saw the Winter Weather Advisory was canceled for the NW crew. I laughed in my head and thought "that guarantees a northern deathband.

UVA's chemistry department's amazing decision to make our group exam online over zoom is currently going great. 1. No one knows which group to go in 2. No one is able to access the questions 3. No one knows how to submit them. Meanwhile I am watching snow fall outside my window this is cruel
