rates are everything. the flakes are smaller now and visibility is down to about 1/4 mile in this band so heavy snow right now, with a coating on grass and elevated surfaces. it’s also colder as i no longer hear the runoff from the snow melting off the roof.

Finally have a coating here as well

Heavy snow in Gainesville. Fat wet flakes not sticking yet, 35

Spoke too soon I guess snowing again

I just arrived at my hotel in Harrington Del. I'm shocked at what's already going on here. It looks like about 3" otg already and it's coming down good. I had to flip into four wheel drive about 20 miles outside Harrington. LFG!

37.8° and still raining here in AA County. No hint of any flakes yet. We're stuck in the middle.

Still early but starting to get the feeling that we won't really amount to much. 

[LeesburgWx]

Puking snow. Half inch now. Less than an hour too

Down to 33! Already 1/4-1/2 inch on the ground

Wow. I’m at 33.1 with heavy snow and nothing has really stuck yet. For the last 15 minutes I think I’ve still lived with just enough rain to stop accumulations. Now it’s all snow and slush is building up 

[katabatic]

Snowing steadily with about 1/2mi visibility. We have about 2” otg and temp is down to 25. Nice start out here - hope it continues!

Rain is heavier now in Baltimore. Maybe if we can stay under these returns for a bit we can changeover somewhat on schedule. But I am basically expecting 2-4 inches. I think we've lost warning criteria potential with how warm it has gotten, barring a perfect overnight death band. Oh well. I think it can still look quite pretty tomorrow though, as long as we don't completely get minimized between the CCB and the norlun...

The snow mix has started just to your north.  It should not be long for you.

 

I think 2-4 is reasonable.  I am also concerned about being stuck in subsidence zone.  Most models had that look for Baltimore area.

Snow picked up quickly in Reisterstown. It's trying to accumulate on all non paved surfaces.

[MDSnow93]

Starting to accumulate on tree branches in Germantown 

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Ah finally over to big heavy snow, let’s see how long we can do this. 

[bsperlin]

For the record, flakes in Hybla Valley, VA at 3:50.

[GATECH]

Starting to rip fatties. 50/50 rain snow at elevation 35’. Temp down to 35.6

To be clear, only on grassy areas and car tops. Roads nowhere near caving yet. Just need to lop off another degree

Definitely looks like that 500 - 700ft alt difference you have over us in the valley is a big help.  Congrats! 

[Eskimo Joe]

Appreciate any and all report from Montgomery County this evening, especially if you note any tree damage. Tag me if you wish. 

[Jrlg1181]

Definitely some blizzard conditions with the wnd up on Afton
