January 16-19th: Rolling the dice

[SnowenOutThere]

Really tried to switch to nice big flakes but clearly some warm air aloft was making it mostly sleety snow. I could tell as my bike ride to the car consisted of getting sandblasted by sleet.

Dumping fatties, closing in on an inch just from this band in the last 30 minutes

Love this!

[Eskimo Joe]

Solid snow in Reisterstown. M1.0"

[jnis]

Light to occasionally moderate snow here with about .75” so far. Very pretty scene outside.

Nam was actually better at h5 vs 6z, I’d look out for it to do Nam things at 18z lol.

I was gonna say it looked like the "kicker" was weaker that run so you'd think it would've at least been a hold. Hopefully just an egg burp...

3K NAM loves D.C.

[DDweatherman]

3k was a good bit east of 6z and not as good at h5. Western precip batch disappeared. Not bad for DC, but sucks for the NW folk. I didn’t get over .5” today, snow holed lol

Yea, my radar is lying to me with these dark greens!  If this was a thunderstorm, my neighbor's basement would be flooding and I'd be watering the grass. 

[Herb@MAWS]

I’m at the gym staring out the window. Waiting and ready for the heavier band. Hope to drive home in it. 

[bncho]

SN-, snowflakes are pretty small

The yellow band is dissipating.

[dailylurker]

We have snow in the lowlands!!!!

[Terpeast]

Stopped here. Calling it a 0.2” car topper and grassy dusting. Hope those to the east of me get more with that yellow band if it holds together.

It doesn't like us man, lol And I never got any heavy snow even with the dark greens...it was more rainy! Must've been too warm aloft

lol it was mostly right along the coast that was still getting snow. Maybe a slight chance for low end warning criteria there. Marginal temps will probably keep accums lower though.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Had the customary 10 flakes.
