The really nice thing about this is that lot of us are going to have a nice layer of snow, then a layer of ice, then another pretty great layer of snow. This stuff should stick around for a while I hope!

This is some of the nicest snow of the whole event.

Its okay. I think I picked up a half inch in it. It's the damnedest thing. The heavy looking echoes on radar have not correspond with what I'm used to seeing under those echoes during this entire storm.

Decent little band coming through germantown. I gained another 0.5", putting me at 3.5" for the event. That's not terrible. Maybe more to come. Cross me over 4" and that would be nice.

It’s got me at 6-8 in Germantown but I’m at 3”. I think both the models and the obs did not realize how much of the precip came down as sleet and freezing rain.

Haven't measured but I must have picked up an additional inch in Germantown and it's still coming down. Let me at least get to 4" please.

Best snow of the entire event coming down in Germantown now. THIS is what I wanted. If this stuff can set up for the next several hours and pour in, that could save the whole thing.

Okay, NOW it is snowing in Germantown. This looks like it'll accumulate.

Snowing more in Germantown, but it's still too light to do much accumulating.

I will take back everything bad I ever said about all the models if that stuff to the NE comes through and drops 5" on me.

It's finally snowing in Germantown! Its light, light snow. Nothing accumulating. But it's snow!

I'm getting some stray flakes every now and then but it's just constant freezing rain mainly here.

Lol. This is seriously getting on my nerves. I'm not getting another 5" in Germantown. I'm at 2". I have no idea how the models can be so bad. This model told me 18 hours from the event that I'd be getting 11" of snow. Throughout the event, it has continued to say "Oh don't worry, you're still gonna get 8 more. 6 more. 5 more." That it can be so wrong, even NOW, mid event, after all that's happened so far... it just blows my mind. Give me 2". Let me beat my December snow. Let me meet my minimum threshold for Capital Weather Gang's "bust" range (which I still haven't met yet, I'm only at 2" and they said it would be a bust at 4").

Back to Freezing rain and sleet in Germantown. Everything is a hard crust of ice.

Actually getting some snowflakes now in Germantown Just stray ones, nothing accumulating. Let's see if I can make enough snow to actually call this a "Bust" by Capital Weather Gang's forecast! I have 2" to go and then at least CWG can say they included my snowfall in their bust range.

Still sleeting in Germantown, and freezing rain. Actually getting some pretty neat ice accumulations on things. Still 2" of snow total for the storm though. Seriously wondering if December's storm will end up being better for me. I'd like to please at least reach the amount of snow for this to be called a Bust on Capital Weather Gang's forecast please! I haven't even reached their lowest "bust" total yet lol!

*prays in germantown*

Sleetfest in Germantown, pretty significant amounts. So look... the snow totals in this storm, for me at least, suck. Like, I was excited for the Euro models, but then I was like "at least I'll be happy if I break double digits", then the CWG/LWX forecasts came out, and I revised to "at least I'll be happy if I break 6"". Now I'm still sitting at 2" which is under even the "bust" range for CWG. BUT. One thing I do like about this event is the non-stop winter precip for 2-3 days in a row. It keeps the winter storm feeling going for a long time. That's nice. It looks like a beautiful mess outside

Freezing rain in Germantown as it has been all morning. Mostly drizzle.

Bob Chill sees the reaction in the storm thread and is seriously reconsidering his decision to come back

Are you f’n kidding me? Like it’s almost anger inducing at some point. Even now after all this it says I’m going to get 6” more NW of DC. LOL

Oh that one busted over our area too. I'd LOVE to get 5 more inches to be at 6.9.

Haaa. I'm honestly surprised people are still looking at models though even still for the next few hours. 18 hours ago, King Euro said I'd have 9" from this event. I'm sitting somewhere around 2 right now and highly doubting I pick up another 7.

Don't go just yet. We have yellows coming our way in Germantown!

What are you at? We are right by each other. I was at a solid 2" when I measured a couple hours ago.
