mattie g Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 There were some wet drops on my windshield when I hopped in the car, and I saw a couple tiny snowflakes in the air. 35 degrees. That’s it in Burke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to see rain in CharlesTown, that mixed with snow then changed to all heavy snow, BIG flakes, that was BRIEF. A little accumulation on mulch there. Then as I drove over the mountain, the higher elevations got an inch to 2 inches, looked great there, then the ground cover lessened as i went southeast. pretty much played out on the west part of Rt 7. I did manage a light fix lol. Here in Dale City, some wet snow, a coating on the fence and some bushes. Plows are out - you'd think we were in for a reprise of GB 16 lmao. Yup, now my car is going to be pasted white on the lower 3/4s of it below the windows. All for an event during 40+ degree road temps and an ignorant call to douse the roads in brine. Sweet. Oh yeah, and permanent brine clouds on highways until we get another good rain. Sweet again. We need a dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 We had a mulch and car topper in the Woodbridge area. Flurries right now. Edit: Dusting/coating on grass as well. Only at the house. Drove a few miles east into Woodbridge and it was basically nothing. Must have gotten a burst at the house. Yes, a non event. Just came back from Islip yesterday. They were expecting an inch at most. My friend reports 5 inches on the ground right now. A reverse bust. Never happens here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Maybe a dusting on the grass in Columbia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Car topper and trace, patchy snow. Not going to bother measuring. Looks pretty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 37 at Fort Belvoir. Nary a flurry or flake in the air or on the ground, either here or at home six miles away in Kingstowne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It's amazing how little snow there is in Hunt Valley compared to my house only ~20 miles north. Was still dumping when I left, I am trusting my husband to measure a final total for me whenever he gets out of bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Had about 15 flurries in Arlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramaxRefugee Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 brief light snow fall predawn. Temp was 35 at departure. AACo salted mightily on the first 3 miles of my commute. SHA already had the white stripe brine down ; so not as bad. PGCo was smooth sailing and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATreglown Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 A dusting with nice, fat flakes. But, it is going to end soon. Better than watching rain falling from the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Radar looks like the atmosphere is squeezing out over Bmore. Getting a decent blustery snow shower here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no accumulation IN Charles Town itself, but there was at least an inch of snow on grassy surfaces up on the mountain on Rt 9 as of 425am this morning. At 345am, there were rather large dendrites falling for a brief period of time, likely about 5-10 minutes, after the rain/snow mix changed over to all snow. Those flakes were at least a half inch to three quarters of an inch in diameter, pretty large dendrites falling, being blown about by a northerly breeze.

Cobalt Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not much happened overnight. Some accumulation in grassy areas, and some roofs, but that's about it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I counted maybe a dozen snow flakes settled in the crevices of my door mat, so I can officially record a trace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Looks like maybe 0.1 or 0.2" based on my wife's pictures. Clear and mid 50s here in LA heading up to the low 80s today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Worst storm in a bad winter We need to open a go fund me account and get you setup on a week-long trip to the Tughill Plateau next year. Your luck it will either be a torch week or the lakes will be frozen over. Not in this region but trying to keep posts on-point as much as possible.....received .2" snow overnight in SE PA. Awaiting round 2 of this crushing storm system. In the eye right now ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
