1.83”.  Should really help all of the plants coming up early.

It is either the Homer retreating into the bush gif, or grandpa Simpson seeing Bart at the entry of the burlesque club.  Probably the latter.

I was going to come here to complain about the brine, but I see that’s been taken care of.
 

Leading precip continues to be very light in the DC area via the 00z nest.  

Snow drops were already out last week.  I’m used to seeing them more mid-to-late Jan.

I’d take years and years of being better than .500 and sniffing playoffs than a DC dumpster fire. Cause one year it will happen. Trust me. I waited 40+years to see the Caps lift Stanley

Nah.  You have 3 SBs.  That’s all that matters.

Fairfax schools just closed, to join Culpeper, Fairfax (for students), Fauquier, Fredericksburg, Loudoun (for students), Manassas, Manassas Park, Prince William, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Rappahannock and Madison.

The UHI area (Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church) is on two-hour delays.

Went back and forth from home to the Virginia Square area this morning.  Striking how much of a winter wonderland it looks like once you get west of EFC metro vs down by Ballston and the interior Arlington Orange Line.

1.4”.  Total precip was 0.32”, so even accounting for the rain at the start the ratios weren’t great due to the non-accumulating snow. 

1.0” on the snow board.  Steady at 33.3.

36/32, Snow

Headed towards a garbage can topper.

Street starting to get white.  Very pretty snowfall.  No 2-4”, but no HRRR either.

Ground is whitening.  Moderate snow.  Looks like the real deal out there.  Down to 34.0.

Steady snow now.  35.3.  Starting to ice up the car tops.

Light snow.  37.5

I'd be concerned about wasting precip, but I'm at 0.01" rain so far.

Down to 38.8

Dropped to 39 in the last 5 mins. Prob need to be around 36 before all snow takes over. Boundary warmth is legit but really shallow (thank god). 

Just from poking around the DOT cameras and Wunderground, it looks like 36/37 is where we are seeing a changeover, but it is 33/34 before it starts to whiten the grass.  No snow on the sides of the roads until you get pretty far west on 66 (Marshall/Markham).

Per the cameras, the R/S line has made it past Manassas.

Government closes down at 1:00 p.m. Really?

Yeah kind of ridiculous

OPM is going to be even more inclined to close now that so many people are telework capable.  They expect you to hop back on once you get home, or take leave.

I seem to have topped off at 44.  Hasn't budged in 30 minutes and solar is headed down.
