Probably means nothing, but the 00z 3k NAM initialized at 19 degrees for my location, right now it's 14 degrees according to my thermometer and 13 degrees at the airport a few miles south of me. 

Yep, I keep dropping too. Currently 14.1/9.2 at 9:15 here, eyeballing I'm close to an inch. I'll measure at 9:30.

Flakes starting to fly in Stafford. 17/1

Trying to pick a cam to verify when the snow starts, but MDOT's cams are so low-def. Not sure if it's the cold or what. But all are like 480p.

I hope so, because the NAMs sure as hell ain't.

Down to 16 and moderate snow in midlothian, va

Sounds like middle earth 

[Bob Chill]

3k nam said I would have nothing by 9pm and I'm just shy of an inch. Also shows my temp @ 19 and I'm still 14. 3k could have the sleet timing correct but it missed an inch of snow already. Currently light snow with little bursts of mod.

Love you Randy. But no chance I am staking my future on that piece of shit model. You are getting at least 5 before the flip.

Just realized that there is absolutely no salt on the roads. Thank God!

What?!? I think VDOT pre-treated even the secondaries both Thursday AND Friday here.

Maybe it's a county thing?

Just commenting on it.  It's just a matter of fact.  They're not with us.   But we ride with the other models and hope for the best

Maybe, I think VDOT is broken down into about 8 or 10 districts across the state.

Still bone dry here in MLP 6.4 / -6.7. Like a few others in these parts, we're hugging the HRRR and the show can start any time.

Chilling 6 miles east of MBG, between there and Shepardstown! Southern Berkeley county. Good spot imo for this one 

The Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown is amazing. If it's open, it's worth a try this weekend.

Brine will be largely ineffective over the next several days.

Our anniversary stop a few times. Amazing place. And the Azoffs/owners are great people.

Every single road today that I drove on between MoCo / PG / AA Co's were salted and brine'd to heck. What a waste of tax money, and unfortunate for our small streams.

Most of our cameras are 780p unfortunately. We're working to get them all to 1080p, or 4k actually but it's going to be awhile.

Truthfully, I’m not too bullish on the radar at the moment. Seems spotty and scattered. 

[clskinsfan]

Just gonna leave this here.
