This band is  legit. Looks and feels like the height of the January 2016 storm here. 

Traffic camera just south of EZF shows very low visibility and I-95 caving to snow accumulations

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is the snow depth portion of the 3k NAM any good?  I'm looking at 18" kuchera and 4" snow depth, which I guess could make some sense if we never go below freezing but damn that's a big difference (not that I believe 18" of snow is gonna fall).

I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding is that snow depth is generally  too low except in highly marginal events. 

SN+, winds picking up...

Wow if this materializes!

Probably would set a record of some kind 

Huge flakes coming down in Fredericksburg! Everything coated.

Dale City is 32 degrees. I am tracking the Temps there from central Texas lol. Anyone know what kind of precip is Fallin there?

Almost certainly all snow, as we just flipped to all snow in Fredericksburg. 

Finally! Over to mostly snow and instantly sticking thanks to the coating of sleet.

Heavy sleet,  starting to slush up everything including  roads

It's a shame this band isn't all snow. Sleet/snow mix, mostly sleet right now

50/50 snow and sleet ... no accumulation yet

I have seen  forecast as high as 12 but I am not buying it.

Same. Would love to see that but feel like we're getting 6-8" -- of course the middle range of that would still be the best since 2016 here and this is pretty much a surprise event 

52/39 ... subjectively, feels like something approaching winter for the first time in a week or so

The trajectory of this system vaguely reminds me of January 2019 

Looks like the Euro has the late week potential too far north and west

Clay Anderson wanted to say it and showed models showing lots of snow, but he ended up saying “might get sprinkles.”

 

I expect Lauryn Ricketts tomorrow morning will do a much better job for NBC4. 

Yeah definitely understand the position they are in, they don't want another March 2013. I would not want to be a TV meteorologist right now

They're not wrong.

yeah, possibly, but if there is significant snow people are not really going to understand the model uncertainty and situation. Also think they implied nothing elsewhere

if this even comes close to verifying, DC radio will probably get a lot of public criticism ... just heard WTOP say "a few flurries north and west" Monday morning

Definitely need a couple more bumps. How would y’all feel about 50 miles?

Nahhh like it just the way it is

It's not a coastal storm.

What would this system be described as?

WB 12Z v. 18z EURO slight bump north

Looks stronger/more precip as well  Also that gradient is brutal... that small shift tripled snow for some places

Exactly, more than everything since 09-10 combined here.  

13-14 and 14-15 weren't at least decent for you?

This would be more snow than the last 2 winters combined for some areas. 

More than the last 3-4 winters here
