Desperate Times for Snow Lovers

9PM Tuesday

As mentioned earlier, the midday models came north with a narrow band of precipitation for the overnight hours into early Wednesday morning. This evening, all models continued the trend, which is great, but the problem is that it’s not a very big system to begin with.

So, although I think most of us will see some snow tonight, the most likely areas to see any accumulation, and it would not be much, are south of I 70. Further, I strongly doubt that this has the potential to bring the first inch to BWI, but the most recent runs of both the gfs and the euro suggest it is possible. Both place a narrow 1-2” band across central MD, and with only two people left in the Snow Contest, I expect Nicole Pickett to be up all night looking for the victory, and Penny Wolkow hoping for another week in our seasonal shutout.

I wanted to wait until some of the later runs to complete before posting, but I’ll post this now and another update in a couple of hours after the gfs. It’s been so long since I’ve seen snow in my backyard, I’ll be up anyway.
