So, as of 4 pm, we have 1/2" of new snow on the ground and the snow is just starting to accumulate on paved surfaces as temps are now down to 31F, so road conditions will start deteriorating quickly now.

Just saw a few fat flakes. This could be it!

33.6 and absolutely ripping right now in Haymarket. Mulch and grass already caved, probably need another 45-60 minutes before the road caves.

Snow has mixed in and it’s alternating between a 50/50 mix and white rain. Car thermometer is saying 35 but I’ve found that to be warm biased by about 2 degrees.

Respectfully, and I realize that this is OT/Banter, I realize that the news was full of stories like this. However, my husband died at home on hospice care in August of 2020 (absolutely nothing to do with COVID), and was in and out of the hospital 3 times between May 2020 and August 2020, in his case, the VA hospital in East Orange NJ (because he had VA benefits). They had COVID restrictions in place, we were not allowed to visit him while in the hospital etc. He had 3 separate admissions via the ER between the end of May and his passing in August. The ER was basically empty all three times we were there and we experienced zero delays in getting care for him, even though his condition was not immediately life threatening from a triage standpoint. So, I don't know what to say, should I believe the stories I've been told or what my lying eyes saw? I'm afraid I'm a skeptic.

Blizzard of 2026, live in McLean, VA!

Unless the sun is replaced with something smaller, this isn't going to happen. January and February were cold, and we avoided averaging 5 degrees below average in either month (we're at -5.1 so far in February, but it looks like the last week will at least be warm enough to avoid). Also, March hasn't average 5 degrees below average since 1960, and there hasn't been a March that failed to reach 56 once since 1906. Yes, not even in the historically cold years of 2014 and 2015.

My rain is trying to turn white in silver spring. At 4pm as predicted

35/34 Moderate snow. Ground starting to cave

the wind took it off and when we knew the snow might put some weight on it just left it down. The whole play area is only about a year old. 7000lbs of green rubber mulch under there... what an idea by the wife.

Temperature seems to be dropping finally and maybe a few flakes are appearing in the rain in Lancaster.

and now down to flurries for the first time all day.

Still dry here. Nothing but light flurries. And yes, I'm disgusted and quite negative right now. So much so, that I now hope we sit in this dryslot the rest of the storm and don't get anything. Being a warmanista, at first I didn't want it, but I've also mentioned that I'm a go big or go home guy. I don't like the 1-3, 2-4 storms. As such, once the models (and forecasts) upped the ante, I then wanted it. I'm a sucker for a good double digit snowstorm, but alas, the rug (as of now, anyway) has been pulled out. Since anything big now seems to be off the table, I'd rather enjoy looking at my bare, grassy backyard, and keeping the salt trucks parked so they don't muck up the roads again.

In N Arlington for this one. Let’s run it back like the olden days. 2.5” target?

I saw that location and wondered if you were on the barrier island or the mainland? You are going to see quite a storm unfold there.

I think we're going to get whacked in Plymouth. Don't think we'll jack but would love to hit 24''

4pm Obs have winds gusting into the low 30s mph around the city

2/22 18z RGEM for trends fwiw

Reggie and Icon beefing up

Awaiting puking in Columbia….

Nice pics. Is that damage to the side of your trampoline? I've had to replace the lower poles multiple times on ours.

You're a snow magnet. Enjoy. Light up another fatty, you deserve it.

FYI, LWX launched an 18z sounding:
