Was only snowing for maybe 20s as this formed overhead. Little too late. Pretty, though.

Awesome graupel squall Elkridge/Columbia line. Definitely some flakes mixed in.

Squalling here but not much frozen, a few flakes mixed in, poor rates. 44

If it wasn’t 48 when it started, we would have definitely gotten a couple tenths in a matter of 3-5 minutes. Temp dropped to 37.

I'll never look at a snow squall the same way ever again. Just imagine the most intense squall you've ever seen. Add 2-3" per hour to that and make it last 7 hours and drop 40" of snow. That's a squall lol. That what I experienced last week. 

A shower of mix precip just moved through the lowlands. 

You won't steal my joy!

There's definitely something starting to move in now, dark clouds overhead and the wind has really picked up in the past few minutes

Lol I'm sorry buddy! I never want to steal anyone's joy! You enjoy your little slop shower! Lol I'm just being a stuck up snow snob. It will wear off in a few more days lol

Sun and flakes in silver spring. Weird

Little bit of snow again

Missed the flakes here, but it is certainly gusty.

We had a solid dusting earlier when the 5-minute squall came through. Mix of heavy graupel and snow.  The wind has been ridiculous today.  My Xmas tree is on the curb and twice now i've had to chase it more than a block up the street.  I finally gave up and put it in the garage.

And we are back to cold and wind. That warm spell while enjoying the warmer temps did not help. Just got diagnosed with Bronchitis as a secondary infection from a Sinus Infection. Happy that my doctors office has weekend walk in hours. And glad it was not the Flu.

Two separate 5 minute squalls came thru here today, one at noon, other around 2:30 pm. Both coated everything then done, but pretty as it fell. Currently 30.3/14.5 at 5 pm with W 12 gusting 22 winds. That is one thing we haven't missed on, gusts between 30-40 mph all day.

Really does feel like cold wind is our weather most days in the winter, spring, and fall. I at least finally figured out how to keep my very heavy deck furniture from going sliding across the deck. 

Bummer about the bronchitis. Is that something that just needs time to resolve? We have the flu in my house and as you might guess, it's quite unpleasant. Sooooo fatigued.
