Nice little refresh after whatever melted yesterday. Shame it’s right at freezing

[Jebman]

Congratulations to everyone that got snow.

We got down to a frigid 22/15 this morning.

[Stormchaserchuck1]

Snow finishing up here.. It rained most of the night, all of this fell within the last 2 hours

[RevWarReenactor]

Nam nailed it. Rain. Hrrr finally folded for the precip this morning.

if we get nothing this afternoon. This will have amount to a 2-4 inch wwa for a few flakes mixed in with rain. 

[mattie g]

Not sure if it did anything but rain here in Burke.

Snowy and windy drive back to DC. Picked up another 1-2” last night at @katabatic ‘s place. Definitely a 5/5 host and recommend the drive out this way - shockingly easy.

Squally out in WV - sure it’s gonna stop the second I get in VA. Savoring each flake.

Drive safe

Don’t thiink we added anything to yesterday’s 1.5-2” in Owings mills. Maybe a dusting. Was too warm this morning

My house faces due south so any light event melts off unless it's extremely cold. I don't mind as I almost never have to shovel the driveway for a light or even sometimes moderate event. Lol

These small events are better than nothing. Keep em coming.

Rain. Not surprised. Very little in any consistency in guidance that showed accumulating snow outside the favored far north regions.

Trace here off Evergreen Mill in Leesburg.

I’m at Lake Anna this weekend and there were some tiny flakes mixed in with rain when I woke up at around 6:45-7. Seems like it’s gonna be a nailbiter as to whether we catch the edge of the precip shield/if it’s cold enough later. HRRR looks like it has trended a bit NW last few runs, so we’ll see.

[rjvanals]

This is the type of storm we’d of scored something measurable even in DC 20 years ago as we only missed by a degree or two.

We had well below normal temps with precip at night during our coldest time of year along with temps at 850mb well below freezing and we manage to fail. Very disheartening even though it’s a “small bust”

It’s just rain in Fallston as of 6:15 am.

Shortly after that it flipped to snow for a bit - maybe half an inch. Trees are pretty.

[dailylurker]

My temp actually dropped a degree. Is it possible colder air is bleeding in? The precip to my south looks like it wants to surge north and hit 95 and east. Maybe that's why there's a WWA? HRRR looks like it's west the last run or two.

Snow potential will be this afternoon and evening for the lowlands with the precip on the back side of the coastal low as temps cool. Question is how far west the precip will get- looks like by the time its cold enough it might be on the light side/moving out. Best shot at an inch or 2 at that point will probably be east/southeast of my yard where models indicate a better chance of getting in on some heavier precip as the coastal low passes/pulls out.

I'm thinking about heading to Wye Island later. Might be a good spot for a little wintery eastern shore fun.

40, cloudy, grey, light, intermittent rain here in Richmond, VA (downtown).  BOOO!

...two days ago we were in the 2" and 32 degree band... 

[WxUSAF]

Don’t know how there are snow reports from eastern HoCo this morning?? 

[nj2va]

18 and SN-.  Picked up a bit over 2” - heading to Wisp soon to ski for the day.

Wtf? I mean unless there were a few flakes falling, but I didn’t see anything white. Just wet.

Maybe it’s 24hr snow total reports?

[PrinceFrederickWx]

I have a cousin in Enterprise, Alabama and she has snow again just like last year... I’m pretty sure she’s beat Stephens City two years in a row now.

I haven't seen any snow and was outside for the last hour or so.  Perhaps early morning? On the positive side, there were a few patches of snow/graupel left from yesterday's event.
