Attempted to drive from Takoma Park to Rockville and turned around.  Side roads in surprisingly bad shape apreset and even New Hampshire covered.  Saw some cars slipping. 
 

… I was in upstate NY last weekend and the difference in comfort driving in snow always gets me 

It's not that I don't trust my own abilities, I don't trust anyone else on driving in snow. I was out earlier and with snow covered road had a person tailgating me with 2 completely open lanes.

Yup. Grew up near the Catskills. I used to drive around in 6+” storms regularly. As well as in my college days in buffalo. They know how to treat roads up there. Roads will be wet pavement with 7-8” OTG and snow falling. Here? If there’s 1-2” OTG and falling snow it can still be quite dangerous. Huge difference.

There's a known radar hole in the Shen Valley due to terrain. That being said, it does look a decent amount of drier air is moving this way.

I know that Bull Run Mountain has a radar hole

A great way to overcome that is look at the ASOS stations in WV. So long as they have visibility under 7 miles there's still snow coming our way.
