Half inch already. I may break 16" on the season if this continues for another 30 min

35/19 Few flurries Hendon, VA

Here's the Top 30 data for through March 1st. The ranking is higher, as I excluded years with 25 or more missing days. Their inclusion previously skewed some of the results.

Nothing outside. Dew point has gone up slightly but it’s clear I’m waiting for the stuff out past the blue ridge. Congrats to the people in the band!

Moderate snow in downtown Silver Spring

Snowing well out here in Purcellville! White ground. Roads are fine. 29.2 degrees

Now it is coming down heavy, big fatties!

Thinking it might be a beautiful bus ride home this afternoon.

Snywx is just under 52", a 6-7" difference in annual totals is common between his location and mine. My elevation is only around 400' and being in the Wallkill River valley has its own impacts. What will always sting me a bit about this winter is only getting 6.6" of snow in February.

Liking the radar for MBY in a couple hours…

Think this might be your storm for payback after my backyard got the band last Sunday. Hoping it can slink just 5 miles south

FYI, the February 24th temperature range at DCA has been confirmed as 27 to 40 degrees: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=lwx

light snow in upper NW DC

Happy March, everyone. Happy March.

Trying to will that band southward a bit. Gonna be close.

Light flurries just started

It is ripping snow here. Already close to a half inch. Best snow of the year.

Now below freezing at 31.8, mulch and car tops caving. Grass getting dusted too

I'm liking this new version of Randy that returned from Houston. We should start a pool to send you to TX in Dec every year - lead us to the promised land!
