Hard surfaces still just wet. Snow has transitioned from a graupel texture to regular flakes.

Snow has a bit of a graupel feel to it. Nice little easterly breeze, too.

Final SPOTREP for the overnight until my alarm at 3pm...
33.1/32.6, dialed back from +SN to SN for the moment with accumulations continuing on cars and grassy surfaces 12 stories below, and I'm looking forward to waking up this afternoon to a winter wonderland.
Good night, and good snow!

Mesoscale Discussion 0028 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0413 AM CST Mon Jan 03 2022 Areas affected...Parts of southwest through northern Virginia and central Maryland Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 031013Z - 031415Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow rates around 1-2 inches per hour and occasionally greater appear increasingly possible along and to the east of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, into the Greater Washington D.C. and Baltimore Metropolitan areas, through 7-10 AM EST. DISCUSSION...Precipitation rates have increased along a frontal zone north through north-northeast of a deepening surface cyclone center across the South Carolina Piedmont. Although temperatures near the surface and in layers aloft are generally still warm to the east of the Appalachians, across much of the southern Mid Atlantic, a combination of strengthening mid/upper forcing for ascent and gradual low-level cold advection on northerly surface flow is likely to contribute to profiles increasingly conducive to snow. Surface temperatures are already approaching freezing across much of the Greater Baltimore and Washington D.C. metro areas into the immediate lee of the Blue Ridge, where strengthening mid-level frontogenetic forcing for ascent appears likely to become focused, beneath an intensifying divergent flow field between coupled upper jets. Forecast soundings suggest that lift will become increasingly maximized within the dendritic growth layer through 12-15Z, in the presence of seasonably high moisture content (including precipitable water on the order of .75-1.0 inches) supportive of 1-2 inch per hour snow rates, and perhaps occasionally heavier. ..Kerr.. 01/03/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

I love it when SPC talks nerdy to me.

Temperatures continuing to crash and visibility is well under 1.5 miles, as the Washington Monument – or even its lighting scheme – is no longer visible from my vantage point.

Getting hard to decipher with the darkness, but it appears to still be all rain in NoMA... 36.7/34.3 at the moment.

All rain as the first truck heads down North Capitol with the plow down.
