Greens/yellows building in between leesburg and Germantown, good sign that this won’t be only a DC south kind of day. 

Definitely been getting lucky with banding here. 

Yeah over 6” here as well in the Sterling area. Hoping to break 10”. Looks definitely possible!

Over 5” north of Sterling 

Considering this storm had 2-4” written all over it a couple days ago. This is a huge win. 

Nice moderate snow under yellow returns north of Sterling. 27 degrees.

Someone needs to ban that dude. It’s sad.

At about 3 inches couple miles north of Sterling. Great storm so far.

Flurries have begun. 2 miles north of Sterling. 33 degrees.

Updated LWX snowfall total map

Most Weenie NAM run ever.

NAM really starts cranking tomorrow. 1 inch per hour rates in DC proper at 16z tomorrow. 

06z FV3 GFS looks great. Looks like NWS made a good call extending the WSW north. 

Nice early morning trends for sure from the 06z suite.

06Z 12km NAM was a nice improvement from 00Z.

anyone got qpf map?

Looks like it shifted like a hundred miles north at least.

Huge flakes in this nice band here in Sterling. Big dendrites.

Back to all snow now under heavier returns.

Lot of pingers now. Mix of snow/sleet

Heavy fat flakes still coming down. Got over an inch on the grass. Nice event!

Really pouring snow again. Huge flakes. 31 degrees.

Streets are white. Side roads caved.

Big fat flakes. 33 degrees.
