At 11 pm I have 2.3 on the snowboard and the deck. 12.7/9.1 and pounding big flakes.

Yep, I'm still dropping here. Now 12.8/9.3 at 10:30 and ALMOST heavy snow, really picking up.

Yep, really got better in last hour. minimum dime dendrites with some almost quarters mixing in.

Had 2 plus hours of that when it started here.

Temp still dropping, 13.7/9.3 at 9:55 pm. Moderate snow.

OK, just checked, exactly 1.0 inch on the snowboard and on the deck at 9:30 pm. Still 14.1/9.2. Flake size has increased at least 50% in last 10 minutes. It ONLY took 5.5 hours to reach an inch.

Maybe, I think VDOT is broken down into about 8 or 10 districts across the state.

What?!? I think VDOT pre-treated even the secondaries both Thursday AND Friday here.

Yep, I keep dropping too. Currently 14.1/9.2 at 9:15 here, eyeballing I'm close to an inch. I'll measure at 9:30.

Yep, makes PERFECT sense. And when does someone from the county inspection team come to fix/repair if the pipes go? Yeah, exactly what I thought. Hope you get them to reopen and not burst!!

At 7 pm snow and 14.2/9.0. About 1/2 inch now OTG.

I've seen one or two ACT timid, but they were just plotting/scheming for the next chance or opening.

I thought that would be Pinky and the Brain?

Cheating here. Pulled out a DiGiorno's and doctored it a bit. That and a bowl of 'tater soup will be dinner.

So, we DID start a lot earlier than what NWS was calling for, but the 2 hours of snizzle and, as @Bob Chill said, sand took forever to accumulate to making everything white. The flake size has definitely increased in last 20 minutes and visibilities are down in the 1-2 mile range now compared to the 5-7 mile vis earlier. Just a holler to those upstream.
