I have 8 inches and I'm in Annapolis, Maryland. (Anne Arundel County)

No mix for me...

Not too shabby bud. It's 5 inches here in Essex, MD in southeast Baltimore County. I got an updated total of 3.4 inches on TV Hill in northwest Baltimore. It seems the general thinking is heaviest snow south and east of Baltimore on a line from DC, Annapolis, and Dover as well. More could add up on top of that over the next few hours as this last band comes in from the west. A 5-10 inch final snowfall total sounds more realistic in general.

No mix here either, just the heaviest snow is just to our south. Last major snowfall on Jan 22 gave us 5.8" of snow. We got 4.8" officially as of 8 pm, but it's accumulating further as I talk. We'll easily exceed 5.8 inches if this continues making this the biggest single storm snowstorm of the season.

5.2 inches of snow at 9:10 PM EST in Essex, MD. Amounts continue to climb and another band is coming in even as we speak.
