Just reached 1" here near the MoCo/DC border. Light snow. Maybe 30 minutes left on this batch?

Even MCPS made the call early enough to plan for. Remarkable.

OPM watch is on. 

What's the point post-2020? "Your co-workers demanded telework privileges, so you better spend the day working your regular duties while it snows" is hardly exciting to wake up to.

It's 55 and sleeting in Silver Spring. What the heck.

Huh. There's a morning surprise! Probably only a quarter inch if I jam the ruler into the grass, but it's nice to look at nonetheless.

Thanks

Is this the radar indicated tornado near McLean?

i though there would be more wind and whiteout conditions...disappointing

Hate to agree with this because any snow in March isn't disappointing, but yeah, so far just a regular slushy snow with the occasional gusty breeze. 

Very light with little accumulation the last hour or so. 32.5 and streets are just wet here near downtown Silver Spring. 

All snow at 33.5 in downtown Silver Spring.

Using my red tag, I deduce a cold front has passed my house 

 

 

You ain't kidding. At 5:55 AM it was 46.8 IMBY and by 6:10 it was 41.2. 

Just drove from Greenbelt to Silver Spring. Was really ripping massive fatties along the way, but no accumulation yet. 

CAE is over 1" for the first time since Feb 2014 per NWS.

Mixing in Greenbelt starting

I just drove to Greenbelt and can't say that I see any signs of mixing myself. (not that I'm doubting you) 

Edit - it took a minute but now I see a bit of slop starting. 

38.4 and lightly raining in Silver Spring. Blerg. 

We're really closing schools the night before for this event? Crazy. 

It is *very* lightly flurrying in Greenbelt right now. Anyone else? 

Overnight high in Silver Spring was 41.2 at around 2am, with minimum pressure of 29.12 inHg. Now down to 33 again, pressure holding near the bottom still. 

No clear ice remains. The snow is spotty and wet. 

31.1 and all rain (I think...) in Silver Spring. The snow that was pure powder at 530pm is now crusty and crunchy, but no visible ice on the trees yet. 

Well, the sledding was remarkably good this late afternoon, but we've switched to mostly sleet now in Silver Spring. Temperature up from 23.9 to 26.1 in about 1.5 hrs. 

Still 23.9 degrees in Silver Spring... Steady light snow. About 1.5" of pure powder everywhere.

My memory clearly sucks, thanks guys.

Tilt 2 is much better around DC in my experience... 

I'm mildy impressed by the rate of MPING reporting today across the SE and MA states.

Indeed! Steady flurries up by the Sligo Creek.

Maybe it’s just me, so someone else can elaborate, but looking at satellite/radar imagery it appears the low is reforming farther south and east. Got that look like it’s going to ride either closer along the coast or go offshore. I also notice the snow/sleet line is farther east, almost to the coast in southeast VA and northeast NC which I did not see on any of the model guidances.

Look at the MPING reports. That radar derived rain snow line is inaccurate by a hundred miles.
