    Things looking good now for SE DC...huge difference since the rain onset 3 hours ago. Temp currently holding at 33 degrees. Streets covered in thick slush. Slippery, wet snow.

    SE DC at 35 degrees. Just sayin'. This was earlier at 9am.

    Everything is getting covered rapidly here in SE DC...still hovering at 35/36 degrees. Streets white, car toppers, grass...I have no idea why its sticking now at these temps and it wasn't awhile ago. Looks great!

    Thick, pretty snow falling like crazy now. No stickage to anything, may as well be salt. Temp now down to 35. This is one funky system.

    Heavy, large icy flakes falling straight down in SE DC...temps crashing quickly, now down to 36 from 39 half an hour ago. Streets wet for now.
  6. Miss Pixee
    43 in SE DC down from 46 forty minutes ago.

    This. I have no idea how the heck they measure. I did a video of that storm, had just a shade under 24" in SE.

    Urban heat island could apply to any city I would think...Baltimore is just about concrete. Being slightly northward helps them it seems. But Downtown DC isn't the same as the entire city. Elevations are on the borders and the low point is downtown. That 'heat island' is downtown were there are lots of cars and heavy traffic most of the time. Neighborhoods aren't similar.

    Looks like a picture postcard outside. Everything is white and fluffy...chunky fine flakes falling in a cloud. Would be the coolest if this ran till the next storm system. They say snow brings snow...

    The only people who say DC 'can't' accumulate on roads live smack downtown at the lowest point and talk as if a microdot is the whole city. I'm in far SE (about a 1/4 mile from the line) and I can guarantee stuff accumulates here. Had too much ice/sleet yesterday and it put a nice crust over the snow. The local meteorologists are guilty of this nonsense too...all the reporting is in NW as are the stations and even the SE measuring station is around the Navy yard I believe with tons of concrete there.

    Temp dropped to 32 now. Booyah

    Radar on CWG is a thing of beauty for DC, Eldersburg, Columbia, Silver Spring, Aspen Hill, Alexandria, Franconia, Dale City, St Charles, Towson and B more. WHOOOP. Towson, Manassas and Centerville just getting clipped.

    Yes! Got up to get some water, looked outside and its snowing for real right now! looks like about another inch of covering. Goodbye snizzle in SE DC! Temp at 33.

    It's all over but the shouting. A fresh coating of snow to finish up in SE DC...older snow under ice, crunchy and slick. Snow plows never made it through the neighborhood but I got a good view of them going in circles on the hill parking lot. Some black ice in spots. Current temp at 32 degrees.

    Earlier had icy snizzle and freezing rain (great for night time skating rinks). Snow has picked up, winds SSE. TV snow, but at least its visible. Current temp at 33 degrees. Don't know if the bands will make it to DC but hope springs eternal. One of the neighbors made a big snowman from clearing their driveway.

    I would just post a sticky giving guidance on how to interpret Miller B's at some latitudes. It would save a lot of white noise, silly emotion over snow and over analysis.

    Night Cap in SE DC...roads are covered again in snow slush and black ice. Was surprised because the precip is almost invisible. Temp now 31, down from today's high of 34. Plow trucks circling the neighborhood taking in the sight.
  18. Miss Pixee
    Winding down under early evening skies in SE DC...hoping for more pity flakes. Had lost some accumulation even before the second wave.
  19. Miss Pixee
    Buisness is picking up here in SE DC...temp down to 32 from 34 earlier this afternoon. Streets lookin' like snow cones. Rates I'd call 'light moderate'. Mixed size flakes. Unless there's some overall accumulation I'm wondering if we'll even make minimum totals here. Makes me despise clown maps all the more.
  20. Miss Pixee
    Tiny sneet falling that requires a microscope to see. Temp now at 34. Streets wet.
  21. Miss Pixee
    ~2 inches in SE DC. If we snow another week we might make totals, lol. My neck of the woods...
  22. Miss Pixee
    Snowing more lightly, a mix of large/small flakes. Temp at 32. About 1/1/2 inches. Everything covered.
  23. Miss Pixee
    Like two titans cracking heads.
  24. Miss Pixee
    Solid, steady flow of smaller icy flakes. Streets now 70 percent covered and caving rapidly. Minimal wind.
  25. Miss Pixee
    Snowed baby powder since 4am . Snow picking up intensity in last 15 minutes. 1/2" coating on cars, grass and some driveways. Streets were damp, now looking more icy than white. SE DC proper. 31 degrees and holding since precip started.
