This start made me think of 1/3/2022. We had a boom scenario due to the heavy rates despite warm temperatures preceding the storm. Maybe it'll happen here?

Back when you were 9?

[EHoffman]

Significantly more flakes here in the last few minutes.

That was a good storm. I worked in Annapolis then and they had a ton of tree damage from the heavy wet snow.

[baltosquid]

Just squinted out the window for a while. 99.99999% rain, but... a couple big flakes falling slower caught my eye. Changeover appears to be coming.

Temp dropping again under this latest band. Down to 32.4. Roads are fully caving now. Man, if this could have come after dark.

Well...its ripping snow and windy 

[snowfan]

Surfaces caving imby. Fatties falling from the sky.

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

It’s pretty funny I tracked this storm for 8 days and it is going to have a 5 mile wide band of snow that will miss me lol.  Oh well at least the us got gold! My jebwalking seems to jeopardy. I hope someone in our area gets the good stuff!!

Thought it was gonna be a full flip here, but once I got below 500’ and then back home it’s still like a 50/50 mix. Very rate and elevation dependent event so far.
 

It does have that feel atm. Even just under 550' in New Market it goes from 30/70 rain snow to the inverse every few minutes and there is no accumulation on any surfaces.

[nw baltimore wx]

Roofs and mulch are caving.

[Brianonymous]

Had a whole bunch of false starts, lost a degree (now 34) and now a less chonky snow is falling.

Wild. This is a first. 

Anyone saying it's rates, no. We have a very steady, at times heavy rain. 

It's just the DC snow hole per usual. That extra 500-1,000 feet of melting room. 

We just switched to a mix about 40 minutes ago. Very wet

Grass whitening under moderate snow. Herndon, VA

[Demeter]

Have changed over to all snow, like others, huge clumpy flakes here.
