I always wondered if you jumped on Blue Ball Road off 95 in NMD and headed south, would you eventually end up on Morningwood Drive in Olney?

It’s always been confusing and frustrating that intercoure and bird in hand, PA are so close.

17/6, awaiting to enjoy whatever falls today.

16/2 NW of FXBG

9.5 in Stafford thats great all things considered. I would take 4-6" (Warning Criteria) and call this a win around FXBG.

5" would put us over 21" for this year, which is well above the normal of about 13"

Looking at H5 on CMC, this weekend deal should be good for us.

Does look like the Canadian should be a good outcome for Saturday, 1/15. Big hit for Southern VA.

Just over 14" on the ground in Fredericksburg with continued moderate snow... winds picking up resulting in low visibility and blowing/drifting. Walking around it  just has the look of a "HECS." 

Yup, I have 14.3” on the snow board, still Light Snow and 29.

Starting to see a lot of reports of trees and power lines down in Stafford/Spotsy counties

It is bad down this way in that respect. I have 3 big branches and 2 Large trees down in the yard, to go along with no power.

12.5”, moderate snow, 29

Have officially made it to a foot as of 11:00 AM.

12” and Heavy Snow, 31

My parents stopped by last night on their way to snowbird in Florida, and they stayed at a hotel in Springfield. Instead of waiting out the storm, they headed out at 7:30 am in hopes of being on the road before the worst of it hit. They're now stopped on 95 near Fredericksburg.

My Dad is an old pro at driving in all weather (and he's a weather geek, as well), but he made a really bad call on this. He said they're stopped because of jackknifed tractor trailers on the exits.

It is really bad around Fredericksburg region right now, hope everything turns out well for them.

Just measured 10.6” on the snow board just NW of Fredericksburg.

Heavy Snow and 31

HRRR rates are verifying here. Up to 7.5" in Fredericksburg, almost 3" in less than an hour. 

Approaching 8” here too, just NW of FXBG. Rates are insane ATM.

Power is out, it is basically a whiteout at the moment. Have picked up 1.3” in last 25 minutes. 6.5” on the ground just NW of FXBG, 31.

ETA: the wind is starting to howl too
