Some schools (Fairfax and some to the NW) are delayed two hours. Probably to ensure most leftover black ice gets melted/washed away or visible.

Visibility under 1/2 mile here in South Arlington. About 1/4 inch or more on tree branches and shrubs. My Hill of Doom and the sidewalks haven't surrendered yet, though.

Sticking now to shrubs and some grass, trying to do the same for car tops. Visibility probably under a mile now.

Snow flurries in south Arlington. Visibility about 1 mile.

DCA has hit 32. Frost has formed on cars and grass in Arlington.

Despite the NWS noting freezing fog potential for the DC suburbs, it was 35 at DCA with 3 mile visibility. Here in Arlington, the visibility is well over the half-mile to the nearby hilltop.

In Arlington, I think elevation had some impact. Far western Arlington (about 300-350 elevation): 3.5 West of Lake Barcroft (about 250-300 elevation): 2.5 Me (about 100 feet up from DCA): about an inch and a half DCA (just about on the river): 1.0 ((Of course, when I saw the predicted temperatures, I figured DCA didn't have much of a chance. I'm a bit surprised it managed to get an inch despite not hitting 32 for an extended period until shortly before 5 am.))

Thanks!

I Meant LWX. ((Is there some way to edit postings??))

I see LX took down the WWAs for Washington and immediate Baltimore metros.

Took a look out my window uphill from DCA. Looks like around an inch and a half stuck to tree branches and car tops. My Hill of Doom got covered, but it looks like Arlington came through and salted the center of the roadway into submission. Sidewalks vary. Some partially or fully resisted, others did not.

HOW did that car/grasstopper sneak up on me in South Arlington? At least the streets and sidewalks are still clear.

One listing of closings and delays: Closings

DCA finally went down to 34.

I'd guess a 50/50 mix near DCA. Still melting on cars, though.
