Washington & Baltimore → Tuesday night

Much disagreement on this storm as usual
Plan on a dusting to a couple of inches.

Graphic by the Baltimore Weather Examiner

After digging out of the 14" we got over the weekend I say why not. About time we got a snow during the work week.

This will be later Tues-Wed morning in this area.

Sounds like that High somewhere in the Atlantic off of Maine is either weakening or moving out/up allowing the Low with the snow to be closer to the coast and northerly.

Can't see fully from the maps on your site, but does what I'm saying seem accurate?

Sounds about right Rx. The low is predicted to be just a bit closer that previously forecast.

Figure the High north will tend to keep the low south and east while at the same time drive moisture from the east.

There is also a low moving into the Ohio valley that may add moisture

Not real easy to see but the low is now forecast to be a bit north of this predicted position

Y'all better abandon those cars now!

kjsflsfjsfsfssklsjfsljsf no more snow plz.

my back can't take it anymore.

also coming from shoveling 5 sqft from my baltimore rowhome to like 1000sqft of driveway sucks.

Two words: Hire someone.

Usually, the neighborhood kids would come by......when we got 24+".....none of them came by....little rat bastards.

So you thinking the Salisbury area will be rain tonight?

When I was in that area, I hired somebody "full-time"
he had a standing order to get my sidewalk so he didn't have to find me or me find him. Worked for years till I moved out here. Usually paid him double after the first snow so he got the next one (pre-paid)
Don't know if I would rely on kids, but there are those individuals around who consider it a second job income (my guy was sheriff's department-city).

Well I abandoned my car in it's parking place in front of my townhouse. It can stay there 'till tomorrow. We might walk out to the Austin Grill for some Tex Mex just for the exercise and to burn some calories.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Should be rain, sleet and snow. Maybe an inch by morning.

It started snowing a little before 6:30 here; sticking to sidewalks, cars and grassy spots about 7:30. Roadways are just wet. I haven't been down to the street, but from up here it looks to be about an inch and a half. Still too warm for anything to accumulate on my balcony, either. Temp is just at 32.

Definitely a couple inches of new snow out here tonight 'round here.

Only three inches?! This just will not do!

But it's very pretty. The trees are all coated and lacy.

Purdy, yes. Won't last long, though. ::sigh::

Was a rain event here. Good news is I got to sleep in and not worry about digging out to get to work.

Yes, it was. No time to snap any pictures this morning, though.

Heck, all the streets were plowed *and* the schools are closed, so it was the easiest commute so far this year...guess that means we'll really get clobbered this weekend.

Very nice photos, grobinette

That's a pretty part of town. Maybe I'll try to make it down there after this storm to see how things look.

Call me and maybe we can meet up for coffee.

Will do.
