12 hours now of winds here 25-40+ with the last 8 of those more like 30-45+. An 18-hour event with these gusts will be pretty impressive.

HECS for Atlanta. I think that would challenge their largest snowstorm ever, and maybe their single greatest season also.

MRB gusted to 59. HGR at 51.

Lots of blowing snow in the farm fields next to my property. Most of what fell on car tops and my driveway overnight has blown away. 14° with a wind chill of -1

Martinsburg and Hagerstown have both gusted to 45. Looks like peak wind speeds will be around midday.

Cumberland dropped 6 degrees the past hour and had a 41 mph gust. Moderate snow here. Quick quarter-inch of accumulation.

Front is about to move through here. Light snow has increased in intensity and wind is stirring. Just had a gust to 23. Midnight high was 31 degrees.

Snow showers here since 9:30 this morning. One briefly reduced visibility below 1.25 miles. Beautiful early February day. Whatever has accumulated on the snowpack will be blowing around by dawn.

Light snow just started here. 22/12.

SWS for up to an inch west of the Blue Ridge.

Some very light snow is falling. 28°.

3° wind NW at 8. WC -11

1 below zero with some fog.

Still 19° and not seeing a very rapid drop. Forecast low is 1°. Wind is still up though, so maybe after midnight if it dies off, the temperatures will rapidly fall.
