Sides roads completely white in Silver Spring.

A healthy 0.5" on our deck and cars in Silver Spring, just inside the Beltway. Our local street with no traffic has spots of white now but is largely black. I'm showing 30.6 degrees.

Snowing in Silver Spring, MD. Steady flurries...

MCPS is going to get grief for confirming at 7am that they were sticking with a delay and then closing anyway. That said, it's probably the safe call right now. Our roads are snowy and sleety so I assume the rural parts of the country are worse

Side roads are completely white now in Silver Spring (inside beltway). Nearly an inch on the cars now.

Just woke up in Silver Spring. Not sure how much mixing there could be, but there's plenty of sleet coming down now. Sounds like winter!

Maybe I'm just way out of touch with the farther counties, but for most of the immediate DC area it was just windy I think. I went out and ran errands around lunchtime and it was gusty but didn't feel historically so. I don't know anyone who lost power or had any real property damage and it didn't seem like those were widespread based on what I saw on the news. As wind events go I thought the derecho had more lasting impact. I'm still sticking with Sandy, though. That's the one I think Average Joe MidAtlantic will remember in 20 years.

Are we including NYC in mid Atlantic for the purposes of this poll? Sandy was boring here but it was hands-down the most devasting, most powerful, and most newsworthy event on the list. I voted for it because of the public interest level and the fact that it killed a couple hundred people. The derecho came to mind as well, but the results varied so widely. Ill put it #2. We didn't lose power and schools didnt close (I think it was a Friday night event) and I'm not sure there were any fatalities. The rest aren't even close IMO. The March wind storm is doing surprisingly well in voting. Nobody will remember that in a year...
