Finally was able to see non needles fall from the sky
-
That’s how it was for me when the band was further west, hopefully the next band gets just a hair north
-
Got a couple nice flakes to mix in with the usual snizzle but it couldn’t even last more than 10 minutes sadly. Looks like this will be a time where southern ffx county will help get me out of school
-
Sharp cutoff line for that snow is running through Burke right now, can confirm if you’re north of it it’s extremely light pixie dust
-
Did stay up from 2:30am till 6am and was a little worried this may happen for parts of Nova as the bands always seemed to die coming off the mountains before blossoming again east of DC. Oh well, we still got snow
-
At around 4.75 inches with only spotty radar returns left out west for the morning batch so also seems like this forecast may not be great for me. Glad I hedged my totals with 6-10+
-
Yep, now up to 4.25 by 6am, but Im going to sleep a bit till the band out west gets here
-
3.9 inches of snow by 5:30 with flake size finally increasing for real this time.
-
3.5 inches of snow as of 5am and flake sizes have increased as I start to get into the band hitting terpest right now. Though from 4:30 to 5am snowfall rates decreased from .8 to .5 an hour, I assume from subsidence as the band got closer.
-
Cannot wait. Any chance of thundersnow with this forcing or no?
-
Pictures from this morning taken on a D850 with 24-120 f/4 lens
-
My bar right now is to beat the Jan 3rd storms 7.4 inches which seems pretty likely at this point! Would be nice to try and get over 10+ to make it the biggest storm since 2016
-
When do you think the heaviest bands setup out near Reston?
-
Can’t wait for the heavier bands to start approaching me. Just measured 3.2 so have held a steady .8 inch per hour rates since 2:30am
-
2.25 inches at 3:30am near Reston, so roughly .8 inch per hour
-
When should the firehose really get going? Would be nice to sleep a little more till then
-
Recorded 1.8 inches of snow near Reston
-
I assume that since you’re pretty close by You’ve had the same snow type as me. Woke up after a 2 hour nap and expected some larger flakes but still seems to be coming down pretty well, so should I be worried at all by the pixie dust nature of the snowfall so far?
-
Super small pixie dust flakes have started in reston, only at 74% humidity so still got a ways to go
-
Reston always likes to be the last location to start snowing in these storms
-
In the last 10 minutes my weather stations humidity has shot up to 70% and dew point from 12 to 21 degrees
-
While some of us near DC wait for the snow to start the 0z GFS for next weekend looks fun if you head over to the long range thread
-
Just wondering if this apparent dry area on radar is actually real or just the result of the radar. I’m aware there’s sometimes some issues looking southwest from sterling
-
Been trying to nap since 7:30 but caved and checked the forum to see the what the high res models where showing, seems like everything is still looking great. Hopefully will be able to fall asleep some till it starts snowing
-
30.9 degrees and thickening clouds
