Very interesting snow conditions. Air is full of flakes that aren’t quite pixie dust but also aren’t dendrites or anything. Piling up like sand might. 

Had 2 plus hours of that when it started here.

Waiting in Gainesville.  No snow sticking to data centers yet.  In the meantime, let's take one last look at the models in order:  Euro, CMC, GFS, and NAM:

[DarthHokie]

Just say a flake or two pop up in aldie.

Yall remember this?  I went back to what seems like 17 years ago to the first thread I made about this storm and found this. 

I think a lot of people get excited about digital snow, but it also reminds us that in a nina, with a tricky phase, we're almost lucky to be getting what we're getting versus nada or 54 and rain

I will try to only use my harbinger powers for good.

Radar looks like things will get started at around 11, an hour later than LWX but still at least 2-3 hours earlier than the CAMs.

Going to sleep now, it’ll be light stuff to begin with… the best part will be early morning. Get some rest folks!

I hope your snow map busts so bad.  Goodnight.  Hope the kid sleeps through the night.  I hope he/she dad busts so bad that he/she will be embarrassed af.

[peribonca]

Pixie dust flakes flying in Colonial Beach. 23F. Hoping for 4 inches of snow before we flip at 6am.

[LeesburgWx]

What time is everyone waking up? Thinking 4am here to make a latte, get dressed, and Jeb walk at 5am

[konksw]

Radar filling in fast. 

[Buddy1987]

It is absolute ripping outside right now! Monster flakes ripping holes through the atmosphere like an F-18.

@stormtrackerAlso, if it helps, last week I had a dream that I looked out my front window and snow was falling onto the street like giant globs of paste. I hadn't even had a McDonald's Sprite for a night cap so it was definitely a prophecy. We gone be alright.

I'm saving my first Jebwalk for the next 2016 level storm.

[Bob Chill]

1.5" with continued light to brief bursts of mod snow.  Temp steady at 14 degrees. CC radar showing some sleet dancing around to my south but no major line yet.

Decent reflectivity up over Warrenton, closing on Manassas, at about 60mph e-w. Looks to be the first band that'll hit DC in 30 minutes.
