I remember talk of thundersnow a couple days ago in the run-up to this storm...any chance there could be some of that in southband band nearing the PA/MD border?

Just flipped to all snow, 34.

Yep. And then we have those lovely folks who, upon reading our mailing address, sneer at us, "Oh, you don't actually live in Alexandria city, then?" Anyway. We're back to mixed sleet/drizzle here, and I'm just noticing the first snowflakes of the day mixing in...interesting.

Moderate sleet for past 30 min, back to plain drizzle now, holding at 33.

Currently 30.2, with a steady snizzle coming down. Things getting pretty crunchy out there. Though I didn't officially measure, we probably got just over 3" late this morning, but much of it has compacted through the afternoon. Hey....it snowed.

Thanks for the indirect reminder to reinstall mPING app, which I forgot to do a month or so ago for the winter season. BTW, 34.3 with a fine, though steady pixie dust snow falling here for the past 3-4 hours. Haven't been out, so NO idea how much measurable snow has fallen, though eyeballing it, I'm guessing between 2"-3" with some compaction.

Was curious about the measurable rain in these parts overnight, since my gauge broke. I was also ticked last evening as the big storms diverted around (or formed just to east of) SE FfxCo for the umpteenth day in a row. And then I went to bed. Got about a half hour of decent sleep before the light/sound show started in earnest around midnight, and with only a couple of lulls, it didn't really let up until 3:30 or 4 a.m. Haven't had so little sleep due to storms since I can remember...lots of shock-you-awake, rattle-the-house thunder, too. Geez. Last night's performance certainly made up for all of the missed ones in previous days.

One last bit of development in Springfield/Franconia areas just to my west, at the end of the the main line trailing through the District right now. Just had a shower go through, hope to catch at least a rainbow on that last bit's passage overhead. We'll see. 81 degrees out, though...and still a little sticky out.

Same here, for almost two hours now, but...I would've traded my pea-sized hail today for your mammatus clouds.

Can confirm. Here's the backside of that storm heading east, crossing the Potomac. Full sun back out now, back up to 72 after torrential rain over past 15 minutes.

Getting pea sized hail with that just-warned storm moving into SE FfxCo.

My wife is out attempting a fresh veggie run right now, hitting up Kingstowne Giant/Safeway by default. She's tried the Alexandria Wegman's a couple times over the past week, at various times of the day, but it's typically picked over with the added bonus of checkout lines extending halfway back into the store.

Impressive for almost mid-March...at least IMBY.

I'm sincerely sorry for your loss -- we've had dogs die suddenly over the years, and a couple linger on for awhile with extended illnesses, and while any type of loss of our canine friends suck, the sudden ones are the real gut-punches. Also glad to hear you have a "transition" doggo...that helps a bit.

And grain punch...

Beautiful captures, @bowtie`

30/28, received (about) 1.5" on top of the 6.75 we received overnight. Absolutely, stunningly beautiful evening out there...if you haven't made time for a Jebwalk, you really should.

Yep. You and I are only a couple miles apart, and I'm impressed with how the rates have picked up in past 15 minutes. Still 32/28 IMBY (has been for hours), however, with current snow, all pavements have whitened back up again. To @Deck Pic's point, I hope the radar keeps filling in and we can maintain this for another several hours. Might still verify that 1"-3" that NWS progged for SE FfxCo.

Holding at 32/28, with barely visible snizzle. And that pic of your fridge from Friday evening, @Scraff, was as beautiful as what we see outside right now.

32/28, light snow just fired up again. 5.75" IMBY. Beautiful morning.

Currently 30/26...probably about .75" on grassy areas. (Vids taken about 30 minutes ago but rates still about the same). Beautiful night for a Jebwalk.

Beautiful. And...I'd almost be tempted to rip the cover off that (presumable!) firepit and sit out there in the snow and enjoy an IPA or three. Or bourbon. Or (fill in your favorite beer/spirit here).

Currently 26/12, with high clouds just starting to blur the nearly first quarter moon. And I'm throwing back my second Troeg's Troegenator double bock (my favorite PA export) of the evening. One or two more, and I can't guarantee any further reliable obs.
