For those of us who still use a snow shovel, what strategy will you employ. I was originally hoping to clear the snow snow once or twice during the event, but now with the potential for heavy sleet cemented together with a little zr I’m leaning toward waiting until it’s over. Any thoughts?

Light to occasionally moderate snow here with about .75” so far. Very pretty scene outside.

An intense downpour of graupel just passed through Damascus. The ground is coated with “styrofoam” pellets…very cool

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a delay. There will probably be quite a few slick spots on the back roads.

5” in Damascus

3” in Damascus at 1:30 am. Heading off to bed now

I’m about 2 mi from the HoCo line in Northern MoCo. I just measured 2.25 here. I’m very close to Long Corner Road if you’re familiar with that road.

About 2” here with moderate snow

Well at least with this current band it looks like Parr’s Ridge is going to cash in- not surprising. Hopefully more areas will get in on the action.

I just returned home from a music gig in Gaithersburg (central MoCo) When I left it was 36 degrees with wet pavement. Pulled onto 270 and about a half mile north of 370 it began to rain/ snow mix and the temp was 34. At the Germantown/Damascus exit it was 33 with moderate snow and about an inch- roads were beginning to cave. By the time I got back to Damascus it was 30 degrees with moderate snow- the sides roads completely caved with about 1.5”. It’s been a while since I’ve experienced the rain snow line so clearly demarcated through MoCo

36/30 in Damascus… We finished putting out Christmas lights out front. I’m looking forward to seeing them lit up in the snow.

Light snow and sleet in Damascus

Snow flurries

0 rain in Damascus today. It looked promising on radar for a bit but no such luck.

Steady light rain here for an hour or so… all the heavy stuff missed in every direction lol

Steady light snow in Damascus

I get those critters in my yard all the time. I expect I’ll see them playing in the snow and rain before the end of the week.

I got you. I’m fairly confident we (north of DC) will do better than 95% rain, but I certainly wouldn’t be shocked or disappointed if it turned out that way. We need the precipitation.

So IMBY I should expect roughly .09 of frozen and 1.5” rain over the next 7 days

2” in Damascus edit: I’m just looking at what is in the patio, not a snowboard measurement

Steady light snow here @34f

1.8” in Damascus

Some nice mood flakes falling

Lol… How’s it going? I have not measured, but closing in on 5” In guessing. Not much snow has fallen in Damascus since around 9am
