Obligatory deck pic. Still pixie flakes

7” here

Well indeed its. That’s something

Just measured an additional 0.8”, which gets me to 6.9” It stopped snowing for now, but if I get another small band, then I hit 7” 6” OTG though with earlier compaction. Good storm, I’m happy.

Still snowing, sidewalks covered again. Streets caving. But dry slot upon me, so it may end soon

Light mod snow with good dendrites. We will see how much it will add to my totals. Maybe one more inch

Few big flakes. It's trying.

Very light snow, accumulations have not resumed yet. Hopefully just working its way to the surface.

Same. The pause didn't last long.

Snizzle started again under those returns (Ashburn). Will update if anything changes for the better

For the first time today, precip has stopped. If @clskinsfan is still seeing pixie dust, it may start again soon here too

Latest NAM 3k and RAP currently depict less than an inch for most of the sub. Maybe with higher ratios we can eek out an inch, but idk

What's your total so far? I went out to measure and I also picked up another 1.3", bringing my total to 6.1". But wanted to confirm if anyone else in Loudoun county also got 6"+?

I walked right into that one…

Agree. I think given the data and parameters, the forecast was fair and well done. Someone was going to get double digit totals, and others were only going to reach the low end of the forecast range. I wouldn’t call it a bust, even though my backyard underperformed with the frontend thump. Dry air and poor snow growth really ate into the totals, but regardless it is a winter wonderland out there. It looks the same to me whether I got 6” or 9”. this surprise little “lake effect” band is a nice one though. Really fluffed things up! I’m happy with the way things turned out even though I got nowhere near the jackpot.

Nice dendrites from this “lake effect”-like band

I'm on the south side of that band, and I've picked up about the same amount. Even added more since my last measurement.

Just measured fresh snow after shoveling my sidewalk - 0.7", which takes me to 5.5" so far

Maybe... JUST maybe I can reach 8" if this ULL overperforms. I'm at or close to 5.5" with that band over me. I think 7" total is more realistic.

plowed streets and shoveled sidewalks getting covered again This band looks stationary, maybe?

this band over ashburn should push me to 5" total for warning criteria (compaction notwithstanding)

Mod snow, nice dendrites

thats not the ULL round, though. switching back to snow as this band arrives on my doorstep

Good trend by the GEFS the last few runs. Will have to see if Euro/EPS follows. It did better the current event than the GFS as far as pinpointing the max snowfall stripe south of us imho

Yeah, I've compacted down to 4" of cement. Odd thing is when I first went out with my kid, we couldn't make a snowball that held its shape. After some fzdz, I sent her back inside (she was cold) and did some shoveling. With 4" OTG after some sleet and fzdz, it felt more like shoveling 7 or 8 inches. Or maybe I'm just getting old
