The snow made it all the way down to the (Champlain) valley floor. Here is a video of the squall as it moved through while I was hiking on Mount Philo (972ft.) earlier today. The squall lasted about 10 minutes and was enough to whiten the ground.

13.2" was the total for me in Clarksburg. @ka60 just up the road may have had a bit more as he is usually a tic or two higher than me (Clarksburg ranges from 550' to 810' ASL). 7.2" from the WAA+coastal part of the storm and 6.0" from the ULL.
I can confirm @Ka60‘s 12.5” total. I asked my roommate (who HATES the snow) to go stick my 12” ruler into the snow on the back deck and let me know what the snowdepth was and she flatly said to me, “it disappeared, you’ll have to find it yourself when you get here tomorrow”. LOL.
I think I prefer this over a more vertically stacked or phased system since it equals 30 hours of snow. Same basic foot of snow but very different delivery.
I like to use this loop to see the subsidence on the back end of storms coming through. Sure, it's composite but that's helpful in seeing the non (or very light) precip features. It's helpful for the back edge hallucinations that are created by the spine of the mountains to our west as well since LWX radar does not typically see over the ridge tops but KRLX and KBPX can see what's over there.

Excellent! If u get a total later tonight, can u PM it to me? I don’t land at DCA until 7am tomorrow so I’ll miss measuring when it’s done.
Oh, and, you will get dumped on over the next hour. Fun.
One of my favorite cams in Upper MoCo in Germantown. Looking south on 270 from the AWS (weatherbug) HQ building.
