  1. Looks like this morning’s low will be 13.3 Currently 14.4 30.0/12.4 yesterday.
  2. Only got down to 12.4 in Great Falls.
  3. Mostly light sleet now in GF. A little freezing drizzle and a few mangled flakes mixed in.
  4. 4.75” in Great Falls with some light freezing snizzle. 27 degrees. Great storm.
  5. Last measurement for the night — 4.25” in Great Falls.
  6. Right around 3” in Great Falls. Coming down at a pretty good rate. Georgetown Pike caved long ago.
  7. We drove back from Bryce to Great Falls this afternoon. Significant increase in snow on the ground around Sterling.
  8. Fairfax announced this fall that they won’t do virtual on snow days this year. Not sure about other districts.
  9. Beautiful day out at Bryce. Light snow. Very light crowds. Roads were dicey once we got off 81.
  10. Beautiful big flakes in Great Falls. Down to 35 from 41 at the start.
  11. There is also an ancient Mid-Atlantic proverb: "a journey of a thousand miles is necessary to find snow."
  12. Still not much wind here except for a few quick gusts. Drive the kids to swim practice and back (fortunately not cancelled). Wasn’t that bad. 54.7
  13. Our kids (and us) are of the same view as your 5th grader. Seems silly to cancel activities and close school gyms for what is (so far) a pretty unremarkable rain and wind storm. Perhaps it gets worse later, but after-school activities would be done by then. Obs: Some rain, some wind, some puddles. 51.8 degreees.
  14. Current obs: Rain with an increasing risk of puddles. Also a light breeze. 47.5 degrees.
  15. Further to this, Scandinavia is also having its coldest winter in decades.
  16. 28.2/24 here in the alps of NW Fairfax County.
  17. Looks like IAD hit 43 as well. 42 here. Now at 40.3
  18. Seems mainly due to an increase in QPF (which leads to more front-end snow). Overall thermals seem largely the same as 12z.
  19. FWIW (likely not much), 18z HRRR appears to be a little colder both aloft and at the surface than 12z.
  20. Only need to go back 20 years: https://www.magnoliareporter.com/news_and_business/regional_news/article_2bc7cc1c-2b70-11e1-a4d1-0019bb2963f4.html Nice to see the WWA extended to cover us, though skeptical of the "light ice glaze" risk.
