THIS! He thinks he has it bad with 2 feet. I'm right by Dulles and somehow only have 2.4" as of 10am w/ flurries. Perhaps extreme substance right by the epic snow-band? 

*subsidence*

DCA has hit 33F so far today.

Weird.  This frame looks totally different on pivotal.  There's no precip down by us

The image above shows total precip for the past 6 hours. On pivotal it shows instanteous precip rates at a given time.

The day 7 threat has turned into a 6 day threat one day later...

Just light flurries in Herndon hope that snow picks up again.

What part of Herndon are you in? Just curious as I haven't seen a flake just yet this morning. Precip showers are spotty atm.

Charlottesville fringed. Next

You still have time to haul it NNE before it's too late and conditions get too treacherous. Get going now. We need to see pictures of you standing in your street in front of your house surrounded by complete and blinding whiteness pretending that you have been reaped and gone to snow paradise. Tick tock tick tock.

Can’t believe you are complaining with two feet on the ground. Some people /s

This afternoon on WTOP I heard forty-eight inches  in DC and north; thirty-six inches in the southern suburbs.

 

Lol I heard that this afternoon. It definitely sounded like she said 48 inches rather than 4 to 8. So if a few people are going crazy panic buying food/toiletries and spreading rumors about 4 feet of snow we know why.

The one in Jan?  It was an icebox. Hours of sleet and it was cement for a week. I have stories to tell of that week

Yes that one. Around January 17th IIRC. 

@psuhoffman

A very random question for you.

How bad was the ice event down here in Herndon, VA in 1994 when you were in the area? Was there a good bit of damage?

Sup peeps. I'm new here. How much for Rockville?

We always welcome new members here. 

To answer your question... :

A ccb looks like to set up somewhere. The intensity of it and its exact location are yet to be determined, of course, depending on the exact track of the mid-level low and whether the 500mb low can remain closed (source more knowledgeable posters than me). But if I were a betting man I would guess that you would most likely end up with MECS-level accumulations w/ an upside of a borderline MECS/HECS at your location.

There are far more knowledgeable posters than me here like @CAPE @psuhoffman @WxUSAF @MillvilleWx @high risk and many more people as you will soon find out.

We are a crazy bunch that will fight to the death sometimes for the snow-max zone. But we aren't as crazy as we seem online in person.

You don't like the rush of wind and snowflakes hitting your face?

Just a quick question, but I recall there being a threat about go-to Jebwalk songs. I contributed in it, but now I can't seem to find the threat anywhere. Did it get deleted or something? Also no reason for bringing up jebwalking, not at all 

I remember talk about jebwalking music during the January 2019 event. So probably around there somewhere.

Found something that helped me. Last couple of days I’ve simply quit watching. I won’t look again until around 11:30 tomorrow morning. It’s really nice that way.

Do, however, consider taking a peak outside late tonight (1am-4am).

I forget which one it was, but one of those storms had the heaviest snow I’ve ever seen for a sustained period. White out and thunder for a few hours it was incredible. 

What would be your estimate of the maximum instanteous snowfall rate that you got during that storm?

Also, how much snow did you end up with in total?

Welp. 5:34pm. Is it snowing there yet? 

Getting ice pellets in Herndon, VA.

Dropping here as well.

Are you south of the Dulles Toll Road or to the north?

Not an expert opinion but that line of convection across Kentucky looks more organized than most CAMs have it which may signify stronger WAA just ahead of it which may help us get a stronger thump.

Hopefully the TPV can trend a bit further south so we will have a shot at some snow squalls come Friday.
