Gust to 56 at DCA and 53 at IAD.  This is impressive.

It is loud.  IAD to 51 mph.

6.3” on 0.73” precip.  Not a great ratio, but a win anyway!

Kudos to the NAM Nest for performing really well IMBY.

I’ll measure a bit later, but I’ll say that one oddity is that I’ve never had so much snow with absolutely no wind.  The fact that there are clear patches under the table and chairs is amazing.

Washington, DC has received 4"  or more snow for the second time this winter. The last time that occurred was during Winter 2014-2015.

That is a depressing stat on a happy day!

Just had lighting in falls church 

Lightning or a transformer?  Snow is sticking to the pine trees.

5 1/4” and modeling indicates about 2” more.  That would be almost equivalent to last month’s event (7.7” here).

4”.  Nice steady 1”/hr rate.

3.0”, >1”/hr rates.  Zero wind.  28.6

29.1.  1 3/4”.  This is going great.

This should be a great snow for Bob Chill. Has he checked in? 

He's been fighting sleet per earlier posts.

BREAKING NEWS:  The top of my truck(dark color) is starting to cave.  31.7 now.  Wish the sun would hurry the fuck up and set.

I'm at 18 W/m2.  It is done.

31.1 and a nice coating on all non-paved surfaces.

3 pm measurements, 4.0 on the cleaned at 1 pm board, 11.8 inches on the untouched board. Adding up the cleaned board makes 12.5 inches total of snowfall since 7 am. Still snowing pretty hard and 29.6/28.9. 

Huge win.  Congrats!

over performance coming?

More on track.  I'm still thinking 5", with 6-7" being a good "reach" amount.

32.0.  Lost very little precip cooling us down and now we are off and running.

32.5 and light snow.  Everything looking good.  Radar out of Charleston WV is nice.

I had to stare really hard, but I saw some flurries.  34.9 and soon to drop.

And now we are at light snow.  Nice quick transition.

I had to stare really hard, but I saw some flurries.  34.9 and soon to drop.

37/18 on the ob at DCA.  34.6 here.  Almost completely irrelevant.  

mPING reports from Winchester and Front Royal, and even one in the last couple of minutes from The Plains along 66.

Still running on TT but looks like it'll take the metros over 5" so I'm willing to take that

5” is a very realistic target for us

Parent NAM is an inch an hour from 4-10pm.  Always fun to get a NAM’ing.

I consider the 12z HRRR to be a complete cave.  0.5” precip up to DC.

It is amazing that every model puts the heaviest axis of precip between Richmond and Fredericksburg, and the HRRR just insists that it’ll be Richmond and south.

3k nam has sleet making it up to DCA 

Maybe no shock that the NAM over amps this one.  3k with 0.75” precip, which plays
