I’d probably make a 1.5 hour drive home for a 2-3” event and free lodging & food if I wouldn’t need to turn around just a few hours later. But this isn’t a big dog. You’d be okay to stay put.
 

If you’ve got no reason to be in Cville any longer for the semester, I’d rally back for sure. 

I got an English (online) 8am Tuesday and a chemistry final (in person) 7pm Tuesday but otherwise I'm free. I've decided Ill make a list of study topics for chemistry and if I finish them it'll be a 10pm-midnight car adventure for me!

Just pulled the snow shovel out, and you know what that means, that means nothing because jinxes aren't real.

Glad this has evolved into much wider event! It was agonizing tracking a narrow band. It's fun seeing mby be in or near the jackpot. In honesty, and this is not a meteorological opinion, usually the highest totals will wind up at least a bit NW of here, even when we are favored, will not be surprised at all. Let's roll!!!

Let me tell you about the $1500 snow blower I bought in mid Feb 2010 and never used until 2014!  Jinxes are real…and sometimes expensive!

This is the coldest it’s been leading up to any snow event since maybe 10 years as far as I can remember

Agreed. Unlike other events, we have cold ground at night, and there's a fresh press of legit continental polar air coming in. The Bittinger mesonet site is already down to 27°, and the Frostburg site is down to 28°.

I think this is the best hrrr run for loudoun, and its been more conservative than other models with the SW tail end.  

It would even get snow to my current location in Charlottesville; though I think I won't be making that risk and I'll drive back tonight. Besides, I have been a good luck charm so far this winter and thought I'd help you guys out.

That the model shows lightning flash density. To be honest I have no idea what makes lightning happen (neither did my professor the best we have is a separation of negatively charged graupel and ice crystals in a convection cell). Though I'm sure the strong lift throughout the column and positive temp advection in the 700mb layer have something to do with it.
