Accumulations begin to top 1 foot
New snow accumulations across Central Maryland at mid- to late- morning have begun to top 1 foot, with the highest numbers, as forecast, in the north and east portions of the state.
Here is a sampling from the National Weather Service, which asks us "not to panic" and to "enjoy your favorite indoor activities." (I could have a lot of fun with that one, but I better not go there.)
Lineboro, Carroll County: 15 inches 
Norrisville, Harford: 14 inches
Long Green, Baltimore County: 13 inches
Monkton, Baltimore Co.: 12.8 inches
Glyndon, Baltimore Co.: 12 inches
Catonsville, Baltimore Co.: 11.3 inches
(The WeatherDeck, Cockeysville: 11 inches/ Can you find the cars in this picture?)
Severn, Anne Arundel: 10 inches
Germantown, Montgomery: 10 inches
Mount Airy, Carroll: 10 inches
Camp Springs, Prince George's: 8.5 inches
Gwynn Oak, Baltimore City: 7.5 inches
Here's more from the NWS:
"WHILE ALL REGIONS IN THE AREA ARE EXPERIENCING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS...BALTIMORE COUNTY...THE CITY OF BALTIMORE...AND ANNE
ARUNDEL AND HARFORD COUNTIES IN MARYLAND ARE EXPERIENCING
PARTICULARLY PERILOUS WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH 3:00 PM.
"PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED NOT TO PANIC...BUT TO SIMPLY STAY
INSIDE...ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE INDOOR ACTIVITIES...AND RIDE THIS STORM
OUT...THE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS WILL BE IMPROVING LATER THIS EVENING."
And then there's this, for those of you reading this as you drive the state's scenic byways:
"IF YOU GET STRANDED IN YOUR VEHICLE...DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR TO TRY
TO WALK FOR ASSISTANCE...YOU CAN QUICKLY BECOME DISORIENTED IN
WIND DRIVEN SNOW AND COLD. THIS STORM WILL SUBSIDE EARLY THIS
EVENING...SO WAIT IN YOUR CAR FOR EMERGENCY HELP TO ARRIVE."
"PERIODICALLY RUN YOUR ENGINE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES EACH HOUR FOR
HEAT. ENSURE YOUR EXHAUST PIPE IS CLEARED OF SNOW AND ICE. CRACK
YOUR WINDOWS TO AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. TIE A COLORED CLOTH
TO YOUR CARS ANTENNA OR WINDOW TO BE VISIBLE TO RESCUERS. FROM
TIME-TO-TIME...MOVE YOUR ARMS...LEGS...FINGERS...AND TOES TO KEEP
BLOOD CIRCULATING."

We have 15 inches so far here in Parkton. Blowing and howling like a banshee out there.

I can't imagine that we'll ever see anything like this again (unless it's later this winter). Not that we should be worried as we sit in the middle of this blizzard, but is there anything on the horizon for us in terms of snow? I heard Accuweather mention a possible clipper dumping another 6" on us, but it doesn't seem to be showing up in any of the long-term forecasts...
FR: The NWS is now calling for a 50 percent chance of rain and snow on Monday, Presidents' Day. I don't think we want rain on top of all this snow.

Foote is saying that York County is going to get an additional 10-15" on top of what we have at 12 noon??? Am I reading this correctly.
FR: That's what he seems to be saying. http://bit.ly/azHIin

Any idea on when the winds will die down?
FR: NWS says after 8 p.m.

GACK. YOU TOLD ME WE WEREN'T GETTING ANY MORE SNOW MONDAY.
FR: That was Sunday. Actually, this just turned up in the forecast today.

Monday snow just turned up? I've been seeing hints at it in the 10-day forecast on intellicast for several days already.
FR: New to the NWS Sterling 7-day.
