Grothar of Herndon

Heavy down pours and some wind in Herndon. MD folks please stay safe.

1.85" overnight in Herndon. Slept through it but family says it was major thunderstorms.

Right hand column is useless. Either make is configurable or do away. Crazy to waste all that space

Some mesos have a small snow hole over Estes I think from downslopimg. Could be difference between 2 feet or even 4

Watching a webcam from Quality Inn Estes Park. Looks like snow is picking up. Again hope you get 4ft.

Estes park fellas hoping to not bring the screw job with me

Good luck. Still calling for 3-4 ft. 

I was born in early 1960s and raised in a small town in Southwest VA. Since there was no internet, we interacted by cruising through town. Uptown and then downtown and do it over and over again and again. Businesses allowed you to park in their parking lots after they closed and crowds of people would gather and socialize in different parking lots and watch as others cruise by. People took pride in their rides—washed and waxed and lots of hot rods. Gas was like $0.35 for low test and $0.38 high test. There was no unleaded.

Suit yourself. But as time goes on, ticket prices go up. And seating becomes limited. You might find yourself sharing a sleeper car with Ji

Tracker will allow Ji to look out the window when it starts to sleet!

I had to run an errand from Herndon to Falls Church and back. Roads ok on way to Falls Church but trip back home primary road we’re ok but secondary roads were getting slick.

this event was awful for Loudoun. Just un eventful. The NAM 3k was right. We didnt even see good sleet and zero snow

It was cool event for 2 hours, but definitely not near what the models were forecasting and NAM 3k was closest to be right for Herndon as well.

there is no way we got even close to an inch of QPF...unless we had alot when i was sleeping

I have been up since 4 am. We only got what we have and no where near what any model was showing for QPF

27/24

light sleet and sun looks ready too pop out from clouds. 

I thought this was going to be a 12 to 18 hour storm. It has been about 6 hours in Herndon

Two snow plows reported stuck in Fairfax County at Compton and Union Mill RD.

Well it's all sleet again maybe we can both get in on that band that gives us both snow.

I am freezing rain now. I hope it at least go back to sleet because we will loose power with freezing rain 

Just now, Ji said:

Snow mixing in now

Glad you were freed to look outside!
