Crap. That is getting close quick. :/

Snowflakes slowly starting to fall here in western Fairfax County (Centreville). 22.8 degrees, dewpoint 10 degrees. Baro 29.95

Lol, I actually stop in Tightsqueeze for gas sometimes when I drive down 29 to Atlanta. And I stop mainly because of the name! Interesting history, actually. That town basically invented the drive thru back in 1870! “The community of Tightsqueeze got its name due to the construction of two buildings close to a road that connected Chatham and Danville during the 19th century. In 1870, W. H. Colbert built his general store close enough to the road that women could go straight from their carriages to the store without getting muddy or dusty. Soon, another merchant, Isaiah Giles, built a blacksmith-wheelwright shop directly across the road from the general store. It, too, was on the road's edge. Due to the closeness of the two buildings, buggies and wagons had to slow down as they passed between the two buildings. Thus, individuals were told to slow down for the "tight squeeze" where the two stores were located.” (from Wikipedia)

That map shows 28” less than what the Euro shows for Erie, lol

He is gonna bust big time on the west side of the storm. He’s got Erie in 3-6”, but the models say 15” (NAM)- 32” (Euro), lol.

Well, technically, the highs were probably recorded at midnight . My home weather station here in Centreville recorded a high of 34 degrees at midnight. But yeah, I’ve been between 25.0 and 26.5 most of the day today as well. Such wasted cold

Legen…..dary!

Punctuation much?

Only 5.0” here in Centreville, VA.

Haha, thanks. Step it up, bro! It’s my birthday, so I decided to drink.

Right. Was thinking more along the lines of a half-eaten ham sandwich.

Anyone know if Wentzadelphia changed his name to Wentzianapolis?

Been tooling around town and was impressed with the roads for the most part. Lee Highway is just wet, Lee Rd and Old Lee Rd are a little dicey, Lee-Jackson Hwy is just wet, and Lees Corner Rd was clear for the most part but had some slush on it. 28 and light freezing drizzle.

A new brewery is opening over near there soon (“early summer”). “Bunnyman Brewery.” 27 and sleet. Sidewalks and edges of the road have caved.

Moderate sleet and heavy salt here in the Taco Bell parking lot at the Dulles Expo Center...27 degrees.

Samesies.

Wow, just checked this thread before bed expecting to see 1000 reports of cold rain like me, but it seems very strange (and frustrating) for places so close to DC getting crushed with snow. It’s colder NE than it is NW. weird.

I must have missed it. Dry here on the north side of town.

I agree. This seems to apply to a lot of things these days. New and NOT improved. Same thing anytime I get an upgraded operating system, new computer, or new phone at work (govt). Expecting a little sleet tonight followed by cloudy and cool through Saturday morning. #deepwinter

Did you know that Rt 50 runs west of Maryland through Virginia all the way to West Virginia?

FCPS just caved. How are 5pm surface temps compared to forecast? I can’t see this sticking on the roads.

3.5” of snow, now 100% sleet.

Wow! Are you in Centreville or further north?

It was 55 and sunny here in Norfolk today, but some schools were CLOSED. We thought WE were soft. It is still just cloudy and 55 degrees.
