[midatlanticweather]

A little dusting here in Purcellville.. Like not much of anything. I have seen bands to my north and south.. Kind of disappointing.. Just a little dusting so far. 

 

[Maestrobjwa]

It hath started here. Small dandruff-looking flakes at the moment Sticking to everything right away

Flakes still small, but starting to get that "pouring snow" look

[winter_warlock]

 Light snow falling here in sparrows point MD 17.5 F

 

[Amped]

Gonna need 1/hr rates for the next 9 hrs to make our forecast.

[SnowenOutThere]

Various pictures from my Jebwalk. I was initially to do another one right before the sleet would ovetake but it now seems that'll be sooner rather than later. Either way, extremely pretty snowfall and I'm glad I was able to see it!

 

[DanTheMan]

Coming down real nicely. Rough measurement of about an inch on pavement.  

[clskinsfan]

15° and approaching mod snow here in Arlington

[Jebman]

Thus far tonight, 23 degrees, sleet and ZR bands continue apace, with half inch sleet accumulations on every surface, with about three sixteenths of an inch of pure ZR ice on top of that. The friction coefficient is extremely low and I have already experienced several near-disastrous episodes tonight as I tried my best to get sleet and ice accumulation measurements. Damn shoes are so slick! Railings are ice covered and VERY slippery, really not much help at all and I am most assuredly not the young man I once was and I really have to be super careful. This ain't 1994 no more! It's the mid 2020s and I'm OLD!

[SolidIcewx]

Nice moderate rates here on the west side of Alexandria.

[Weather Will]

Dusting on everything, 15 degrees.

Hate to do this to you but those heavy returns are the mix line. Some good news is that the mix line itself has collapsed south a bit in the past 30 minutes!

Nothing really new it is just been like ten years since we have had an Arizona east coast storm. To bad we could not get the coastal to take over sooner and stronger
