Temp is nose diving. 19 and wind picking up with snow pouring. 

Definitely think we’re gonna hit a foot here. 

Lucky bastard.

One of these days I'd love to be under a nice yellow band...but for some reason in "bandy" storm like this they can't seem to form over northern Baltimore for whatever reason. It's usually northwest or southwest...weird.

Yeah I’m just a tad to the northeast of you. Unless things drastically pick up in the next few hours, I won’t get more than an inch or two on cold surfaces. Pavement caved 2 and a half hours ago and still just has a light coating. It’s been snowing consistently but it’s been light and it’s seemingly just not really adding up much at all. 

[Weather Will]

About an inch on lawn.  Streets and sidewalks mostly just wet.  Pretty scene but warm surface temps made it an underperformer in MBY.

[rjvanals]

Forecasts are going to bust once again around the beltway since everyone ignored what all the models were showing was a problem w surface temps 

[bncho]

kind of in a lull now

Geez we have a big difference. I'm closing in on 1.5"

Damn congrats. Not even half an inch here lol. I’m not setting another alarm.

[Scraff]

Woke up for this? Meh. Light snow. 33. Dusting at best. Back to sleep. Will see what 5am looks like.

Gooood morning!

I think we are still kind of on track. Band to the north is what has to start developing more overhead and really cranking. Think what is/was overhead is not really the show for us. Maybe that’s cope. 

[bncho]

ew it's drizzling now 

[dailylurker]

It's been dumping fat flakes here for about 45 minutes. Roads are caving and it looks like an inch on cord surfaces. This band needs to stay right here. 

[bncho]

gonna take a quick hour long nap... i'll be back at 4:30. hopefully i wont be disaaapointed

[Stormchaserchuck1]

Happy to see the radar still has greens from Martinsburg to Harrisburg. It's really wet/compact snow, but I have about 2.5" in the grass. And I had 2 flashes of lightning! I was deep in the woods walking and it lit everything up! That was about 30 minutes ago. 

[stormtracker]

Got a nice coating/car topper so far.  Or maybe that’s it.

Temp is 33 degrees for me and no accumulation on any surface, I think we may be quite cooked. I won’t be setting a second alarm for tonight. 

[scope1]

No accumulation yet on any surface but its coming down pretty good.

[NorthArlington101]

Probably 90% snow in DC. Deck furniture starting to try and cave as rates improve. 

[Imgoinhungry]

3” in Damascus at 1:30 am. Heading off to bed now

Wow! Parrs Ridge for the win.


.

[rjvanals]

There’s gotta be some thin warm layer above the surface as I’m getting styrofoam or graupel type snowflakes no dendrites 

[WxUSAF]

Lightning!

[Jeff B]

Just had thunder here near Hunt Valley

[Terpeast]

0.5”, coming down good but temp still at 33. Maybe I was wrong about temps not being an issue

Just checked other pws obs, most are at 32 and mine seems to be a warm spot. Maybe others nearby are doing better than me.

eta: dropped to 32.9 and seeing some back building on radar, maybe we got time

Struggling to maintain the slushy coating with temps hovering around 33. May need to apologize to the folks more worried about temps. Still nice to see the snow fall, but hard to see me eclipsing 1”, maybe less 

[birdsofprey02]

Just heard large crack of thunder 

[NorthArlington101]

Best stuff of the night in DC. Big field outside my apartment has caved. Think we’ve hit a turning point 

[snowfan]

T&L at 452a. Loud thunder. 

[Stormchaserchuck1]

5 more lightning flashes about 30 minutes ago! With one, everything turned blue and green. There was loud thunder in the distance on]with two of them. 

I have close to 4" on the grass, but on my porch it's barely 2".

Dumping here. Grass cars covered and sidewalks caving.  My street starting to fold.  Didn’t walk out to CT yet
