  1. Decent steady rate here for the last 45 minutes or so. It's wet though pavement is caving.
  2. I just took a trip to the store from Western Loudoun up and over Blue Ridge mountain to Berryville and then back about 30 minutes later. Surface temps here were around 36 when I left with very light drizzle/mangled snow. At the top of Clarke's Gap at 31 deg the mangled frizzle turned into actual SN. Back down on the other side the surface is sitting just above 32 with more light SnowTV/White rain but nothing is sticking anywhere. It was that way until I got back to the top of the mountain where it was 31 and I started to see some stickage. Back down on the Eastern foothills of the BR it's 34 and the rate has increased somewhat to where I'm getting minor accumulation on concrete and grass. It's all SN here at this point though I am at 800' and right on the edge it seems. Bottom line - this batch is pretty to look at but not going to really do anything for accums so don't expect much at this stage. If temps dip a few degrees and rates pick up then it could be another story.
  3. Writing is on the wall ... We'll do the usual justifying, discounting, hoping etc. and then reality will set in.
  4. Waking up to a busted forecast is a right of passage around here ...
  5. Yeah seems to be an elevation thing. I'm at 800ft and am decently warmer (+5 deg) than folks down at 550.
  6. Up to 40 under heavy cloud cover. That middle finger zone is setting up nicely over me.
  7. I'll hope the N&W is correct. But based on experience we'll probably be on the edge too despite the models. 3" is my O/U for this event.
  8. Don't worry, you'll still be the 'worst in the area'
  9. You must have been fun to parent as a child
  10. Just confirming since I'm a bit slow: Now we're giving credence to the GFS aka 'worst verifying model' (according to earlier posts) since it shows what people want?
