We think this is the norlun and not just fgen forcing? Or does one beget the other

For now i think this is fgen, and I don’t quite think this is norlum just yet. Too soon to call where it’ll form

[EB89]

Heavy snow finally. Tried to drive up to gambril and turned around. It’s a wonder what a 2 minute drive can do for this event.

Thinking more like 1.5”/hr based on my footprints from my last jebwalk

Been watching/reading your posts on the setup of the trough.  Thanks for the tutorials.  We're not very far apart geographically, but it is ripping SN or SN+ here NW of Vienna.  Hope you're getting the same goods out your way.

2.2” in Frederick might be aggressive at this point lol. This is a top 5 storm bust for me so far and relying on radar returns from the northeast is not the path to victory. Congrats to those who scored. I’ve officially accepted defeat. It is at least sort of snowing here now, but absolutely no accumulation so far and radar looks awful up this way. Ya win some ya lose some.

[notvirga!]

Temps around 32 in Owings Mills and we have steady moderate snow. Street out front has snow on it, at least the cold sections 

[SnowenOutThere]

Just outside the heaviest reflectivity but regardless everything is caved and heavy dendrites. Got some awesome pictures I can’t wait to post. Anyone know if the IVt will shift east?

Ok interesting. I am just SW of downtown and have nothing. Just a wintry mix. I really want to understand this area of Frederick Co. The only thing I can think is being closer to the Potomac.

I clearly have some work to do to fix the jinx out here...oh well we'll get it one day 

[Grothar of Herndon]

33/32

Snow+

All surfaces caved!

Coming down hard and fast.

Same up the road in Reisterstown off Wembley Rd.

[MDphotog]

We've dropped to very very light snow now here, almost seems like drizzle.  We'll see if we get it to pick back up again later.  

[Terpeast]

Full grass coverage. At least 1.5” otg

[Eskimo Joe]

The DOT cameras on I-70 right at South Mountain are incredible. That band is really going to town.

[MDSnow93]

Similar shot from 4pm. Grass and cars fully caved. Really nice rate of snowfall and flake size

[Ellinwood]

Road accumulation is just starting in Germantown. Around 0.5" on grass and elevated surfaces.

[Nomz]

No cave in sight in Georgetown. Lighter precip atm but it’s on and off.

[Solution Man]

Seem to be on the backside of things now, only light snow, winds increasing 

[LP08]

Closing in on 1” in Arlington.  Loving the trends on radar

The higher elevation for the win on this one.

[joecacti]

Fort McHenry still plain rain… just as a point of reference, i know a change is gonna come.

Was gonna measure at 6:00 but concur on the ob. Really impressed with the road cave job. Really had started to think we weren’t gonna see accums til 7pm. Oops

No it’s not but keep seeing time of death posts.  It ain’t over til it’s over…didn’t people watch Rocky? 

how is it over when the snow was supposed to start in earnest after midnight?

[Paleocene]

Grass whitened in silver spring. Roofs pale coating. Everything else just wet

[dailylurker]

Starting to look a little bit like a blizzard is about to start ripping here in central del. 

[WxUSAF]

0.4” on the board

Hopefully some bands push west.  Far cry from some of the clown maps mid last week.  What can you do
