I can't remember a time when multiple long squall lines formed one behind another like this.

Needs a lot more helicity with this low amount of buoyancy. There's a narrow window this evening before the cold front, but you'd have to stop bombarding the warm sector with this low grade overturning for it to work. This is why capping is so important. You have it or you get this nonsense.

Do all these  severe thunderstorm warnings merit a bust?

Cause it’s boring

It's very valid data we need.

Why was the eps ignored?

I  saw one snowflake in Alexandria. This will be a fun night!

I bet those get bumped by about an inch by the end of the day.

That's what it was for the metro the prior map oddly.

Bob Ryan shared a map that the NBM has D.C. over 9"!

Gets below freezing around 9z, but nice rates before that

Sunday or Monday?

Pivotal has close to 6" for the metro.

How long  ago did D.C. get added to the Winter Storm Watch?

When will people learn how bad ai snow maps are?

6z AI Euro looks active with chances with most of this snow taking place between day 11 & 15.

I wish we could ban all ai snow maps. They have not been correct once.

Even tonight's flurries faded away. 

During long duration storms, does NWS ever have official times of the day for reports?

Depth measured at 7” on my deck (by a 5 and 7 year old).  6” snow this morning and probably 2.5” of sleet. What a wild storm with more to go.

Good, that supports mine.

Looking like I'll get dryslotted in the next hour after heavy sleet showers. Measured 5in of snow/sleet. Wonder if I'll get any freezing rain.

That seems kind of low if you are in Fairfax.  

Maybe the globals weren't so bad after all when you include the sleet with the snow maps. 

Anyone along the southern beltway have updated measurements I can compare to? I measured a 6.6" base in Alexandria.

The rate of sleet accumulation has been impressive!

Measured a 6" snow and sleet pack right outside my door in Alexandria.
