Snow continues, car topper now. Expectations met

Big fat flakes already, sticking on elevated surfaces...lol

Snow started here south of Waldorf

This Winter has been nice for the majority of the forum, nice cold spells and snowfall. February certainly has the history of bringing the goods. Count me in for another PD1, no storm has matched that spectacle of cold smoke, wind and rates. Especially for DC and eastward to the Bay.

Temperatures are in the low to mid 20's right now...…..problems even if we start as rain???

Four day weekend....Someone making decisions...made THAT decision.

That map above looks more realistic. Unfortunately...LOL

Verbatim UKMET is 5 to 10 inch snows from southern MD along eastern side of DC up to Wilmington DE. Then 12+ northeast from there. Richmond area and up toward Eastern Shore has another smaller area of 6 to 12 inch snow blossoming. Some ice, but minimal. With that flash freeze I am not so sure about that.

I am pretty sure it is paywalled.

UKMET has surface temperatures near 32 at 138, falling into the teens at 144 at DCA. RIC is 60 at 138 falling to 21 at 144. 700 mb level humidity is near 100 percent from the Blue Ridge to the coast at 144, 850mb humidity is near 100 percent from Columbia MD...Warrenton...CHO and east at 144

UKMET certainly has snow DC and south at 144....heavy snow in central VA...as per F5/former EuroWX

Storm total of 8.5", 6.5" on the ground. Liquid equivalent of 1.01" 2 day total. Sleet and freezing rain fell from approximately 1030am until 5pm. 2.5" after we switched back over. The heavy bands of snow from the upper low never set up over my location. Nice storm for most in the region.

Finally, flakes coming back here after 5 hours of rain/sleet.

That freezing rain would be ugly, with the air mass that follows.

Hoping to stay on or just north of the mixing line this afternoon. Larger flakes mixing in and steadier snow falling again.
