It's really coming down. I've got thst snow fog look we all love. I'm probably pushing 4" here shortly. Someone please tell me the hrrr is wrong and it's not going to 33 degree rain here later. Thst would be horrible and depressing. 

I feel like low level cold hangs on better than models think whereas mid level cold gets wiped clean really quick.

12z/7am measurement will be sent to Sterling 

Steady SN, still not heavy just yet, but absolutely pouring snow out. Gorgeous 

Man those footprints though

SPC's meso disco says we flip to freezing rain by late morning

The heavy snowfall potential from Pennsylvania and New Jersey
   northward should continue through the mid to late morning. In
   northern Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, a changeover to freezing
   rain is expected by late morning.

The snow is so heavy right now it looked like white heavy rain

Shut up Yoda, get in the car.  We're going snowing

Im feeling pretty solid for 6-8 inches around Baltimore. I’ve only done the window eyeball test so far, but I’d say I have at least about 3 inches so far, maybe 4. I believe there’s the potential for another 3-4 before the flip. Fingers crossed

Eyeballing 4” with heavy snow. Small flakes but lots of them. Will measure and do a snowboard wipe at 7am.

That’s close to the “fuck the NAM” threshold…

I know, just mentioned it because numerous people were saying nope to it and it would be sleet

[Terpeast]

Think we have 2-3 hours till we flip here. Line is moving north but cold is fighting back

Looks like it really wants to fight the line! Gives DC a bit more cushion at 9am, maybe would be an extra 15-30 minutes of snow

could you post that

By my 7am measurement, I think we’ll be very close to “fuck you nam” territory…yup.

Probably a hair under that here in Crofton (It was around 3" last time I measured a little while ago). Hopping for 6" before the pingers, though I wouldn't be shocked if we were just under that.

Meso saying straight to freezing rain? That seems like a change

Hoping you can hit that 6.0” mark!! I’m out here betwee MBG and Shepardstown. I’m thinking 8-10” is pretty doable at this point. Perhaps we can push a foot! Will be close. Enjoy the snow my friend
