DC upgraded to ice storm warning? https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=DCZ001&warncounty=DCC001&firewxzone=DCZ001&local_place1=2 Miles ESE Washington DC&product1=Ice+Storm+Warning&lat=38.8814&lon=-77.0057#.YCgjeGhKiUk

Pity flakes on Capitol Hill!

Time to change the thread title to Day *2* to 7.

Well, yeah, we SHOULD....

It now appears to be raining snow on the Hill.

Steady rainfall on the south side of Capitol Hill.

I remember -4 when the Ice Winter of 1994 swung into gear. There were rolling brownouts.

It's a snow globe outside on Capitol Hill. Definitely picking up. Pretty!

If that could drop about 20 miles, I'd appreciate it.

Being lazy ends up having some benefits. (Capitol Hill.)

I literally gasped. It's like the final scene of Season 2 Mandalorian.

Southern Capitol Hill has been deflaked. Now a mix of some sort. But it was a nice surprise to see the snow that did come down sticking almost immediately.

Now seeing flakes on the south side of Capitol Hill. (ones falling from the sky, that is.) Had been sleet but is now fairly fluffy.

Speaking of the crazy weather coming to Denver and environs, I am in northern Wyoming right now and would actually love to stay to see the snow on the mountains here on Monday/Tuesday, but my dad insists we get out of here ahead of it, so.... Anyone want to do some forecasting for the best way to drive back to DC from northern Wyoming? Can leave anytime starting early on Labor Day/tomorrow. My preference is to take I-90, but looking at the GFS and the NAM I'm not sure how far across South Dakota we can get before the precip starts drifting in. Could instead start off southeastward to I-80 and make it across Nebraska in dry weather, but the stuff around Iowa on Tuesday is vexxing me. Should I dip further south into Missouri? Or will the Iowa stuff be more spotty in the morning on Tuesday (would probably be into Illinois by noon, maybe?) Actually now wishing we could get out of here today because the smoke from the Montana fires has started pouring in, and even inside I'm already coughing. It's a paradise out here, I tell you!

Alas, the Earth Cams are no match for both a derecho and a storm-watching public.

My yard is soooooooo happy after last night. DC proper doesn't seem to get training like that during the summer much anymore.

ETA: Sorry, missed that it was posted up-thread.

Someone posted on Twitter about 10 minutes ago that they were seeing flurries in Adams Morgan.

I'm looking at my Nest feed to see how much my plants at home are enjoying this. Had my front yard entirely redone (all new plants) in *early August*. It's rained like this maybe once between then and now.

The sidewalks are wet! Including underneath the trees! Amazing! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

After a bureaucratic delay, my completely revamped garden was installed during that worst heatwave in August. And I think it's rained here appreciably once since then. I keep getting notifications from DC Water about how much my usage has skyrocketed. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I just want to go on record as saying that Dorian is a great name for a storm. Very retro. Donna, Carol, Hazel, Agnes, Dorian.... Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
