Well, it looks pretty in Silver Spring. I'm ready for warmth tbh.

Nah. It's not even March yet. 

I'm a huge hater of heat though and admittedly get annoyed when temps go over 65°F. *shrug* I need to move, lol.

I'm going to call the winter of '20-'21 "the Perpetual Duster". Still hoping March can turn it around. This is pretty though! A dusting is better than nothing!

Look, I have not yet recovered from this morning, this is bad for my mental health.

Im still at work but I feel like i need a beer after reading the last 2 pages. Sheesh

Lol, I just joined this forum last night, I'm already drinking. *engages curious side-eye*

I mean I'll take it and be grateful but I'm not happy about it. 

Don't you love it when it's below 26°F on the ground and it starts snowing and then as soon as precip rates speed up and you get excited for the incoming accumulating snow, it switches to RAIN. 

Why does the mid-Atlantic hate us so much?

Annnnnd there's the freezing rain. Cool cool. 

Sleet/snow mix now. 

I'm still all snow and no sleet. 

No sleet yet and fingers crossed it stays that way for a while. A girl can dream.

"Way more intense?"  There are literally just flurries in downtown, 3 miles away from SE

I'm over the river and in Hillcrest which is at a much higher elevation than the rest of the city. Our local variation can be pretty intense compared to the rest of the city. 

I am so pleasantly surprised right now, nice coating of snow already and steadily coming down. Way more intense than I expected for this time frame!

26.8°F ~ 19.6°F @ 4:54 AM, SE DC

I SEE SNOW!

I could sleep but I'd rather be a contributing member to snow society.

29.1°F ~ 11.8°F @ 3:44 AM, SE DC

Calm, cloudy, exciting. ☺️

Thank you! Much appreciated. That’s actually a lot more data than I expected it to consider. Damn. That’s solid news for the immediate west and north Baltimore suburbs

Yeah I remember reading about it a while back and being surprised. Still mad at them for moving to Apple, but have kept it on my phone with the Today Weather app for Android. I hope they're right, lol.

Wonder what model dark sky uses for its forecast algorithm. It’s an “up to the minute” kind of weather app. Forecast changes every hour - perhaps the HRRR? Now has 7-11” for my brother in ellicott city and 5-9” for my area. Odd considering every forecast until tonight had my area getting more (in line with guidance) I expect climo to help me out here in this setup but I’m definitely curious what models that app relies on for its data.

For what it's worth, they are now showing 5"-9" for me too. Up from the last hour or so.

When I first moved to DC I quickly became obsessed with tracking models and potential snow, then some bad years made me swear it off for good. Now I've found this forum and am right back at it wide awake at 2am trying to talk myself into believing the GFS and also into not believing the GFS. Help.

(Also hi, nice to meet you all.)
