Meso saying straight to freezing rain? That seems like a change 

Should’ve said sleet. Midnight brain is real. Any ZR wouldn’t be till this afternoon or early evening imo for MD/NoVA

[csnavywx]

Little bit of good news. The sub-warm nose layer is so cold we're getting snow to develop out of it (from precip seeding from above). Pouring clear ice pellets with a nice powder/pixie dust to go with it. Vis notably restricted.

I need some heavy daylight snow in my life.  Closing in on 4".

There will still be a period of sleet but that warm nose is deep on the hrrr and 3k this afternoon.

Freezing rain will be a problem! Hopefully not.

It is what it is man.  I'm not young, but I'm not that old, but got a young bf....he's older than I am in spirit and was bitching and dozing off in the snow.  Whatever.  Age is what you make it.  I'm lit and he's over here whining about how numb his thumbs are.  I wallowed in the snow and he has a fucking umbrella.  Like, what?

3.4” measured in Havre de Grace. That is 1.2” in 1 hour. Insane rates for an unimpressive radar up this way.

Hahaha awesome! Me on the other hand just woke up drinking coffee and considering some edibles.

What’s your location?

[ravensrule]

A little over 4” and it’s puking snow. Let’s hit 8”.

I'm 5 drinks in and I'm not even tired.  Might indulge in his stash.  There's one area he's got me in. I'm a lightweight.  2 puffs and I'm out.

[baltosquid]

Testament to the surface cold, some prodigious street light icicles are forming from snow melt (from their heat) dripping off of them.

Even where I’m at honestly thinking minimum 6”, and whatever sleet falls. Gotta be 8”+ by the end for you. It’s dumping.

[RevWarReenactor]

Pingers in DC or is that snow? Looks like yellows moving into the beltway.

[stormtracker]

6:40am...still snowing.  If we can just squeeze out 2 more hours....

[wxmeddler]

Sterling Balloon is up already this AM. 31 deg at 7500ft.

[snjókoma]

The "sound" of the snow just changed in NW DC. Would guess it's sleet mixing in.

[yoda]

Trained Spotter reports 5" in Centerville

You can almost see it accumulating.  Ratios must be stellar right now.

Had brief pinging in S Leesburg. Now it’s a combo and the flakes are growing in size.
