The obvious choice for me is January 2019. Hard to beat 10" of snow with little to no mixing or accumulation issues. Also feels good to be in the bullseye, though not the bullseye of the bullseye (congrats, MoCo). My second choice for MBY would actually be the March 2017 storm - I know that it was a moderate bust in the NW suburbs when the mixing line sprinted west overnight, but the forecast was fine around 95, and despite it being mid-march, the large amount of precipitation in that 2-3 inch block of sleet, ice and snow persisted far longer than I would've thought. Made the next several days feel very wintry. And any snow in the middle of March is pretty cool for this area, though it has become pretty common in the 2010s I think we should get an interesting variety of answers...the January 2019 storm was not an area wide crusher, and that there has been some pretty sharp cutoffs in some of these storms.

1.6". SN-.

HRRR and NAM think it all dries up in the next couple hours, but they have failed in this event so far.

Just measured 1.4” in N Arlington.

Bands keep forming right on top of DC.

Deathband expanding north... 1” in N Arlington.

I am a couple thousand feet south of I-66, and have 0.9" rn. I know they mean south in a general sense, but seems a little imprecise with Alexandria getting death-banded.

Arlington jackpot so far? I’m surprised. 3/4 inch and counting here with SN.

Half an inch in N Arlington with SN ongoing. 19 degrees. Impending disaster with the schools open on a 2 hour delay.

I'm never trusting the HRRR again.

I'm not sure the HRRR has the best handle on this... This is the 9 AM simulated radar from the latest run.

Snowing to beat the band.

I like the look of the radar to the west.

Looks like this is it for the beltway.

Light snow in N Arlington, dusting on all surfaces with every flake sticking at 20. Short range guidance has maybe a dusting for DC at the most, so I better enjoy this while it lasts.

An inch tomorrow would be a massive win.

17 and windy.

Anybody in Fairfax experiencing anything?

Radar keeps looking worse and worse for DC.

Line weakening to the west as it approaches NoV. Unsurprising.

Just lurking, love snow squalls. Looks nice in State College: http://php.scripts.psu.edu/dept/ur/cam.php

1/17/19: 1.3” 1/29/19: 0.5” Total: 14.1”

Lol. I'm up 0.2 to 34. Drip drip drip.

0.5" here. Disappointing event in its progression but I did get to take a drive and observe some cool elevation microclimates. Also it snowed heavily for like 20 minutes. thank u next, on to friday.

I didn't measure, but I drove up to Minor's Hill near the Williamsburg Shopping Center and it was a winter wonderland, sidewalks and side streets totally covered while around Cherrydale they were just wet. That's the highest point in Arlington (460 ft). If you live around there 1.5 or 1.75 seems reasonable. Very elevation dependent storm as others have said.
