I drove right through your area this morning. I thought "Mappyland" lol. You missed a good coating to the north by 10 miles. 

43 in the lowlands 

Aww thanks for thinking of me! Hope the snow chase went well!

Some local weather news. Montgomery County, as part of a locally funded initiative, will be purchasing some additional mesonet stations. These tripod/compact stations will focus on urban areas to better understand risk from heavy precipitation events and urban heat islands. The plan is to have a density of 6 to 8 miles per station. Equipment has been purchased, with the goal of deploying them this year. All data will be public on the mesonet website once the stations come online. A big day for @wxmeddler

I don't have stats but feels like mby has struggled to reach forecast highs a lot this season.

41 now. Just noticed forecast high I saw this a.m. of 46 has been shaved back to 44.

I think the lack of sun hurt. When the sun popped out for even a few mins yesterday, I noticed the difference.

That is awesome.  Good work to you and @wxmeddler!  Any details on locations?

Additional sites will be: Germantown, Gaithersburg, Chevy Chase, and Laytonsville. While these stations are more compact in size, and therefore able to fit in more urban locations, the limiting factors are: available land partners, cell reception, and open sky for accurate wind measurements and solar charging of batteries.
