It's on in Gainesville!  Flakes the size of gnats, but it's a start.

We've wet-bulbed all the way down to 12F in Albemarle. Forecast low for tonight was 17. I like that!

 The suspense is getting to me...

[Nomz]

Looks like game time. This is why we do what we do.

[BTRWx's Thanks Giving]

Snowflakes in Alexandria 

[Eskimo Joe]

Mesonet data showing a spike in relative humidity in Garret County, as well as Charles County. Definitely looks like the dry air is about to go bye bye.

Still nothing down here.

[konksw]

Gotta love beating the models on start time. 

[adelphi_sky]

Temp steady at about 19F/1.9. Nothing falling yet.

[bncho]

Just saw the first snowflake. Good luck to everybody! May we shunt the warm nose and get BURIED!

[clskinsfan]

First flakes NW of Winchester. 3 hours early. Lets Go baby!!

[arlingtonforest]

SN- in Arlington

[stormtracker]

Nothing yet in the capital of the free world...

[GramaxRefugee]

Just drove home from Edgewater. Nothing but chill overcast so far.

18/4

[EHoffman]

Snow is underway in Navy Yard.  Very light

 

[midatlanticweather]

Super small intermittent flurries in Purcellville VA. 

 

15.5 degrees and -4 DP

[wxmeddler]

Guidance was consistent that once the uber-dry layer between 3kft and 5kft got broken through it would begin with -SN fairly quickly. So not surprising we go from nothing for 6 hours then all the sudden a flurry breakout.

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Not that it necessarily matters at this point or that anyone really is paying attention to it, but to me it appeared that the 00Z GFS looked more or less similar to what it showed at 18Z.

I bartended there for many years when I was younger! It is an amazing place with great owners but they're the Asams lol . 

Every time I have been there I was completely hammered. Excuse my spelling issues.

[Mrs.J]

Can see on radar snow dotted around me. Nothing to report here as of yet.
