Right. But i questioned why people are so doom and gloom and someone said folks are extrapolating the data.

The wetbulb temp for Frederick is right at freezing and I would not expect the valley to get any accumulation until after sunset. Storm is really just getting started. 

Looking at the SPC 700mb FGEN and I'm loving this band which is slowly rotating with the cyclonic flow. Hoping it'll spread west some and move west as the low starts to get tugged by the H5 ULL. Would align near perfectly with the DGZ too.

Snowing at my parents place west of Rehoboth. Massive flakes and sticking to the grass and tables outside. 

Snowing at the beaches and raining in Hanover Pa. What backwards weather is this.

Back in the lowlands. What a difference lol. Wet, rainy and 40. Now for my next move. Stay here and risk a skunk or head to Easton. I'm afraid Seaford is going to mix.

Over under 4”, those who get the norlun will be safely over

Which website should I use to track where the low level winds converge as this evening gets going. Weenie in me wants to say where the current band is setting up on the radar (overtop you and next to me) is where the Norlun will appear but I don't know.

Seaford is not going to mix. I'd go if I had the chance!

H5 trough is going neg tilt with the surface low directly east of Virginia Beach. Not much to hate about the setup.

Those who get under that will get at least 6" IMHO, thats where my bullish over/under comes from.

I thought about it Easton a lot today. Hope you go just so I can see what I missed!

[Prestige Worldwide]

Really coming down in Lewes right now- big flakes 

[IronTy]

Left DC and t was 38F and rain on the car thermometer.  By the time I got to Dunkirk it was 36F and fat snowflakes.  Then at home in Huntington it was all snow and 34F.  Some minor sticking on grass at this point but it's lightened up a bit.

Someone in the davis - canaan corridor is going to get close to 18" out of this methinks.

I just don't want to look back and by house near Annapolis is getting rocked. I think I'm going.

Love these massive flakes. beautiful. All the tree limbs are covered. Wish it were a couple degrees colder/not a wet ground. This would easily be 2-3 inches.

As it is the first inch is otg. Glad this happened earlier than expected so I could enjoy it before hitting the road.

still 32.5

Yeah but that's Garrett county. Whole different world out there. Compared to us normal folks 

[nw baltimore wx]

Winds have turned to more north and less east, so I think temperatures should start to slowly fall.

ETA: the MD mesonet site is so good.  Looking forward to more stations!

[clskinsfan]

Getting pretty pummeled right now. Under 1/4 mile visibility. Everything covered but roads and sidewalks. Heavy snow 32.1 degrees.
