I'm in central Delaware 

You haven’t sent enough pics yet. Send more. Or just to my DMs. That band on radar is unbelievable.

Still getting sn+ in Germantown, it's just pixie dust. And the wind is picking up.

There's going to be some 6" - 10" reports from under this band if it can hold in place for an hour or two. Obviously elevation will help, even 100 feet or so, but this is going to lead to some decent jackpots. What an incredible event this is!

Finally the long sought-after IVT Snowband. Hope you guys get smashed with a lot of snows!

This is without a doubt the worst storm I have experienced since 2010. Whiteout conditions currently. Couldn't even take video or pictures. Impossible to measure what's accumulated, but easily over 8-10" so far. Winds continue to howl. Can hear cracking trees in the distance. Snow accumulating on vertical surfaces.

I wish that system would just STALL but good. Really throw those torrential snowbands right up there! Pile that snow right up. Kind of like Mammoth-esque. STALL the fook right out, for days and days as that TROWAL just piled snow right up, to Day After Tomorrow depths!

5" Snow Depth gain at the Berlin MD mesonet station from 11p to 12a

That's....insane

[Eskimo Joe]

37% of Worcester County without power. 25% of Somerset in the dark. Impressive.

Lol it’s awful. I have maybe 3” of slop. This is far from incredible. 

Grass is covered here but paved surfaces ended up with nil. Very unimpressive and busted event forecast-wise west of 15.

[pazzo83]

DCA coming in just shy of 1" of precip (liquid) - so we had a good amount, just was too warm for a lot of it.

Little surprised that I think I’ve got .75” or so on the deck in DC. That all would’ve been in the last hour or so.

I just measured 1.25" in admo. street stickage too. hurray

1.75" just now

Steadily ticking up in Delaware as well. 30ish% of Sussex dark 

[JakkelWx]

steady blowing snow. drifting like it was never wet snow. highest winds of the storm yet, definitely blizzard conditions atm.

4z HRRR. More to come. I was trying nap and was woken up by thundersnow. 0% shot I’m sleeping now if this is even 60-70% correct up this way

[WEATHER53]

That spear like line running Nw to se through area is pummeling me with my 1” ph and 2.5” in last 3 hours

good lord this band developing in the DE Bay is a behemoth. edit: HEAVY snow!

lol. it didnt make it onshore into central DE. would've surpassed a foot within an hour or two, but already at 10" anyway. good enough

[bncho]

callin it 4.5". there's probably more like 5-5.5" but i can't bother to get up and measure it, plus its still snowing. if i wake up in the morning and i measure more than 4.5", i'll go with that. otherwise, keeping it conservative.

[dailylurker]

It's getting deeeep...

[caviman2201]

Still just a car topper here in Glen Burnie. Maybe .5" on cars. Roads still haven't caved. Insane fail here.

Just checked the 00z HRRR; SNE busts 6-12" low. Would make me feel a little better.

How deep? You need to jebwalk BAD in all that deep snow! C'Mon DL, I wanna know how deep that fresh snowpack is! I know its wild as heck out there but we snow weenies back in the western Mid Atlantic and in Texas want to know how deep that snow is! Let's see a jebwalk trail in that deep snow! We wanna eyeball the depth! Don't you dare slantstick it either!

I forgot I had it! I'm been super busy lol. It's just wild out there. I'll send a bunch of videos and pics tomorrow. 

[TowsonWeather]

Fuck all in Towson. Enough to put a nice coating on stuff. 
 

One of the bigger fails in memory from a forecasting standpoint.

I've been keeping an eye on radar throughout the night. Was amazing to see Delaware getting dumped on non-stop. Storm has been slowly and steadily pulling away for a while now. Probably just flurries by daybreak.

Radar starting to build across Harford and Baltimore County. Another band trying to rotate back into us?

[Eskimo Joe]
