    Ah, the famous Laurel bullseye!

    I am loving all the Freezing Rain discussions! It takes me back to my undergrad research project and a journal article that I found particularly helpful at that time in understanding the subject much better. No analysis of the current setup here - just simply putting this out there for others to read if they have time. https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/wefo/19/2/1520-0434_2004_019_0377_aaofrf_2_0_co_2.xml

    So I checked other stations in the area. Almost all of them had 0.20 - 0.25 for the initial precip, so we're good there. The main difference is what accumulated and melted in the rain gauge. Looks like others were in the 0.50 - 0.65 range for totals. Maybe mine collected more snow? It is off and above the back deck, not under trees, so fairly representative. Not sure, but I am getting tired of issues with my station anyway and am on the verge of getting a new one...

    Not that it matters or is in any way official, but between the rain at the start (0.2 inches) and all the snow that gathered in the rain gauge and then melted (0.60 inches), we got a total of 0.80 inches liquid out of this storm in Arlington. Fairly in line with forecasts if I recall correctly.

    Just woke up and it is absolutely puking fat flakes here in western Arlington. Grass and cars covered. Street and sidewalk, sort of covered. Looks like we are under the band at the moment! Currently 32.5 and so far, .24 through the rain gauge.

    41/30 western Arlington. Cooling a little better than I was expecting.

    31/29 and 2 inches of snow in western Arlington. County truck came by, plow up and dropped salt to give us a clear strip in the middle. I'm starting to think we might not make it to 4 inches...

    100% agree with this. Have notice the same thing in Arlington. Last winter when we had our one and only event (I think? it happened during the late afternoon and the government let everyone out early, but that sounds like every event around here...) we were living in Courthouse and I needed to drive to our house near East falls Church. Courthouse had bare ground but by the time I got to East falls Church there was a coating everywhere. Elevation!

    Far western corner of Arlington and we are at 27.7/18.5. What's interesting is that we bottomed out at 26.6/17.5 about an hour ago. No wind for the last 3 hours either. We are 300 feet ish above and 8 miles away from DCA, so it's always interesting to see how much we can differ.
