Much back in a funk

The post snowfall downer after the tracking upper is a thing. I find going on a hike, taking pics, or something can shift the mindset.

In Union Bridge already? That's great honestly. Very happy to see things going right to frozen once precip starts.

Decent rates have finally made their appearance.

Yup starting to stick here 

[Chris78]

Should be a good omen for areas further East that the  I81 corridor is getting snow. The last few days that area was in a dead zone on Models.  Should intensify for areas East of Frederick pretty quickly.

Good luck to everyone tonight.

Based off mesonet data, the wet bulb temp is 32/33 degrees for everyone west of I-95. It won't take much to bump this down below more once things get started. It looks like we might waste very little, if anything at all, on getting all frozen. 

[Terpeast]

Based on radar, expecting precip to start within the hour. 

[bncho]

2 degrees below forecast rn.

36/30 AND can confirm wet bulb is 33

[baltosquid]

Radar activity picking up around the city, probably will drizzle at first. Hoping to see flakes soon though

On the way back home (and to snow!)

 

My boy drivin all the way home for powdered sugar grass.

[stormtracker]

Just kidding.  I think we're good for at least 2.  Well worth it.

[Eskimo Joe]

RH spike to ~90% on all the Frederick, Carroll, Baltimore and Howard County mesonet sites. Precip is probably punching down to the surface.

Have fun out there man. This has the makings early of a nice boom scenario for you. Feeling a foot between the synoptic and upslope stuff!

Yeah, feeling like we hit the upper range of forecasts based on trends so far - this stuff is so fluffy too which is helping to accumulate quickly.  Super pumped to see this turning into a region wide type of event vs what was shown a few days ago.

Looks like the show is starting out east!

It did work!

Radar returns are diving down from the nw towards the lowlands. It would be awesome if this starts before forecasted. 

[ThePhotoGuy]

38 degrees. Seems familiar to most of our snowstorms!

Thinks?  It obviously did!  The magic snow sled, hope you get dumped on!

According to my records, since moving back to Maryland in August of 2016, I haven't experienced a December snowfall greater than 3.4", or an overall snowfall of greater than 4.8". Let's see what happens tonight!

[Amped]

Finally got some decent virga overhead.

[WEATHER53]

44.7 for a high and 41.3 now so temps didnt rise with cloud cover. I’ve seen it the other way plenty and it hurt us. 
Tomorrow could be wild in a lot  of ways as if it really is down to 20-22 at sunset and still gusting to 35, sustained 20-25 then that’s bitter and maybe blowing snow?  It’s like I’m time traveling 

[yoda]

I know it's nowcast time... but here is 00z NAM 

 

[wxmvpete]

I have 0.3" of snow from my 1,000ft residence 6 miles northeast of Westminster.

[rjvanals]

NAMs are a step back and suggest surface temps could be a issue inside the beltway

[DDweatherman]

Stopped in Westminster for a bite on the way home, big fluffy dendrites falling in these dark greens, 33.

00z 3km NAM

Light snow has started here in 21057
