My chem professor also moved my 8:30am exam to be over zoom so I guess I’m waltzing into that with like 5 hours of sleep. It’s a group exam so I should be fine though as I’ve lowk carried the past ones.

Unless you got a radar I don't know about. The airport has a celiometer, but it just reports the first layer of strongest returns.

Reading the METAR and watching the OVCxxx trend lower is the poor man's ceilometer.

I like the looks of that little green bar just north of where I live.

Euro moved north with its last short before flakes started falling in the region. Gets the 0.1 inch QPF line to Baltimore, barely.
