Heavy snow in Arlington. 7.2" on the ground. 4th best snowstorm for DC of the decade?

We measured 7” about an hour ago and it’s been ripping since.  I bet we’re around 8” but haven’t measured.  

dang, so 6.5" does seem low. Guess I'll have to mix family/spotter/poster reports.

Anyways we are probably around 4.1" in Charlottesville, I'll allow myself to add a tenth since it's been snowing here for 6 hours since I measured.

Ripping dendrites in Germantown, what is going on here? I thought this event was over and I missed it while being sick last night. Totally gonna get more accums out of this!

This is what happens with a 2 part storm. You havent experienced one yet but we get them. Feb 2014 had a nice one where i got 13" with the waa piece then big lull followed up by 3.25" in 2 hours as the upper level energy rolled through. The best part about upper level energy is it's unstable air with great snow growth. Bursts of heavy high ratio stuff like you're seeing right now.

My measurements aren’t official or anything.  The 7” measurement was made by an 8 year old sticking a ruler in the ground.

I see all that snow to my south towards Winchester. How far north does it make it? MD line?

I hope so. I've been watching it for the last few hours. It's moving so slow im afraid it's going to start the pivot south and east before it gets here.
