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

Can tell you that N Cap is not caving. But rates seem good, flake size is nice. Would like to pull an 1” out of a hat

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 

I mean we always worry about temps, but I’m def not gonna make declarative statements about a storm before it even happens.  I just like to wait to get into it and if things start or keep going left, ok sure.  But imma give the models a chance at least to verify.

Yeah, seriously doubt CT is gonna fold. Radar does look nice tho. Some good echoes building to our SSW

33/29DP

 

Lookin' good in SE. Moderate to heavy snow. Streets 70% white, car toppers and moderate snow on grass areas.

[Weather Will]

Back edge going through.  Side streets and sidewalks are slick and mostly snow covered.   Getting cold! About 1.5 on grass.

[nj2va]

Down to 13 degrees, about a foot so far. SN.

Dayum. Should’ve chased this one, though idk if my car could handle getting out of there haha

[Terpeast]

Maybe an hour till back edge clears mby. Close to an inch

[PrinceFrederickWx]

36 and mostly sleet. Some slushy accumulation on grass. We have been about 2-3 degrees above forecast IMBY since yesterday afternoon, so temps have been an issue.

[CAPE]

Started snowing here around 330 but at 34 and light intensity, lost an hour to non accum snow. Temp right at 32 now but mostly light snow outside of one moderate burst. Quarter inch or so on the deck and looks like some better returns on radar might be moving in shortly.

I hope they've been working on the roads over night out your way.

Going to head west on 70/68 in about an hour

We all thought the rates would overcome, but it seems warm air pooled just ahead of the arctic front, making it a bigger issue for the dmv. 

North to fdk and along i-70 seem to be doing fine though. 

[aldie 22]

Snowing in Lansdowne nice flake size pretty outside...not much else to say

[WVclimo]

0.3” total.  Colder air is sweeping in now.

[Stormchaserchuck1]

More lightning! I measured 6" in the grass.

Temp fell to 32 here within an hour of precip starting but rates have generally been light since. That's the bigger problem when we are looking at a short duration event.

Seems to be consensus NE of us but our area changes every run it feels like. My final call for my backyard is 0.9"

Pretty much nailed it for here

I think it’s the rates that are hamstringing us.  Yes temps are at play too. But in the heavy busts I had, things whitened up proper.  I think Im good for an inch tho. So there’s that.

Man I hope Mt Holly was right about that 1-2" call.

I was at 33 at 7 pm, then went up to 37 and once precip started back down to 33 and just now 32 as the back edge nears. The 4 degree rise can be attributed to the pooling of warmer air ahead of the front, kind of like the burst of temps before summer tstorms arrive. You should do much better over there, CAPE.

2.0 dumping in Havre de Grace. Glad I woke up 

[aldie 22]

But hey...it has snowed a couple times this December and it has been cold. Maybe we are slowly turning the corner to bringing December back as a winter month. March snow is rude

[Herb@MAWS]

Columbia 5:45am. 
Nice snow ongoing!  Temp 32°

Eyeballing 1”-2” OTG

[PrinceFrederickWx]

35 and finally flipped to all snow, let’s see what we can get out of this.

I don’t think I could get more than a 0.5” measurement off my deck right now. I’m calling it a night but will trust whatever comes in spotter report-wise for me.

really kinda had 1.5” as my floor… whoops 

[LP08]

Maybe an inch in Arlington .  Curious what the total precip will be.

[Terpeast]

At least everything is white. Pretty with the xmas lights!

[CAPE]

Snowing hard now with nice sized dendrites. Seeing some yellow on radar. Hopefully this lasts for awhile.
