If we had a foot of snowpack and the winds died down we would def see below zero tonight!

We do not need snow pack tonight to see below 0. I'm already ay 4 degrees at 6:15 PM!

Down to 8.2. Power has gone out 5 times, but has thankfully come back on each time. Dam dish takes 10 minutes to reset each time.

Temp. down to 24 in western Loudoun and extremely windy.

Wind just started to really crank up.

Came through here in western Loudon with just rain and not much wind to speak of.

Emptied the rain gauge so it would not freeze. 2.65" for the event.

My wood stove is going full blast right now . Unfortunately so is my heat pump.  Just can't win.

The size/layout/openness of my house plus location of ceiling fans and thermostat make it all work. Nice convection. Spare bedroom and workout room can get a little cold but not a problem in most cases.

I have a log home in the very northwestern part of Loudoun County (between the hills) off of Harpers Ferry Road at 725'. My great room ceiling is 24' high and I heat with my wood stove whenever possible. My wall of windows faces west and I will get slammed with this frontal passage and will probably loose power - happens often. 75% of what I burn is black locust. When it gets cold, I really have to crank the wood stove to keep my propane furnace from coming on.

Right at 2". 34 for a high today and current temperature.

Stuck at 31.4 for the last four hours. I am at 725'. Everything covered with ice. Hoping it will warm up soon. Do not want to loose power!

1.75" total.

Times like now I'm really happy I'm sitting on 8 cords of dry oak. 

I've got about six cords of seasoned black locust.

.075" & 66 degrees. Is this really the end of July.

94 for a high here.

Blue sky here.

2.25" with steady light rain and 48 degrees.

I'm at 1.20" for the event so far.

18.9

Nice snow squall around 6:00. Temp dropped from 45 to 35 in like 5 minutes. Ground went white almost instantly.

all the math involved in weather is why i switched to cartography/gis my junior year  I had to take calc 101 twice before I said f-it, it's not meant to be

The math is why I switched from Meteorology to Environmental Science. I started out as a Meteorological Major at Lyndon State College for three or four semesters back in 1992.

lets face it--this storm is pretty much a disaster. The WWA was the correct call

You need to move from eastern to western Loudoun! Great storm out here. Mod. to heavy snow since 6:00am. Probably in excess of 3", but hard to tell because it is so wind blown.

If this isn’t blizzard conditions then nothing is.

Totally agree. Very strong winds with visibility about a hundred yards at best. Down to 29.

All surfaces have caved. Snowing very hard!

Grass almost immediately white.

33 and heavy snow now at 725'.
