Seems everyone in the forum is happy this week!  Congrats everyone!  2.5” of fresh powder here in Ft. Hunt, Va this morning.  It was a beautiful falling snow, at least when I woke up at 3am, too bad it wasn’t during the daytime.  On to the next one, may it be a Miller A hecs!

Rippage as that low lander death band sets up.  Let’s see how long it can last…

@WeatherShak -- or was it @GATECH? -- put up a post last year that one of them mounted a new all-in-one wx station in their backyard, which they were pretty pleased with. I'll be damned if I can remember the brand name that they mentioned...I wrote it down on a sticky at the time and (of course) have since lost that -- but I tagged 'em here and maybe one/both will chime in with the name.

@clskinsfan I got the tempest weatherflow.  Great device, haptic rain gauge, sonic wind sensor, lightening detector, solar powered.   Very happy with it…until it broke.  I probably mounted it bad, big gust of wind around thanksgiving and it fell on my drive way! 
 

The great news is that I called customer service, they tried to help me fix it, but it was beyond repair.  After repairs failed, they sent me a new unit, for free!!!   Talk about great customer service!  Extremely happy with the unit and the company.   I think the unit cost Is around $350.

Same!

10” here in fort hunt, va.  This sh!t is heavy.  

8 inches!  Can we make a run at 10?  Ft. hunt area of Fairfax county!

As of 1053, 7inches.  Impressive considering snow didn’t start accumulating until 7am.

I do wish some of our northern folks could get some of this.  The more the merrier

They will get theirs at some point…while we enjoy our 33 and rain.  But right now this is awesome for us lowlanders!

Outages so far in Fairfax county

1.5 inches in 30 minutes.  Total up to 5.5 now.  Insane!

Wow, about as much visibility as 2016 storm.  Can barely make out the house across the street!

4 inches as of 9:30, power flickering.

I told Y’all I would bring winter back with me  from Montana.  Mission accomplished.

No.  Temps.  

I don’t think temp is a criteria any more…

A Blizzard Warning indicates that blizzard conditions (low visibility of less than 1/4 mile due to falling and/or blowing snow, and winds at least 35 mph) are expected for at least 3 hours.

This was my plan all along!  Happy to go down in flames!

Upgraded to warning!

My father passed away a few hours ago. Thank you all for your kind words and support the last few weeks.

I am so sorry.  Losing a parent is so hard.  My deepest condolences to you and your family.
