Hmmmm. I’m using landscape but still don’t see anything other than username, avatar and time since last post.

Operator error?

Same here. Someone told me you need to use the desktop version.

Having a hard time changing over here so far. A few big flakes were mixing in, now it's back to light rain

It went from rain to some flakes mixing in and back to rain here too. But, I know it’s coming soon! When it happens, it will be quick.

With your previously stated 400 ft of elevation, you must be near Tysons.  It's the only place in McLean with that much elevation.  FYI - the communications tower at 123 and 7 is the highest spot in FFCo except for the land fill at the I-66 transfer station at FFCo Pkwy - It is the highest spot in the county.  We're 375' ASL here just NW of Vienna, and just far enough away from the Tysons concrete jungle that we often get a little more sn because of the lower impact of the Tysons heat island.  If that band sets up as currently projected, we'll be in business up through MOCO and down to Spfld.

I am in Herndon out by Dulles Airport 361’ elevation

That gap in the radar over Montgomery County is filling in quick. Good to see.

February has been a snow graveyard up to now. I wonder if these last two winters are us finally breaking out of the rut?

[aldie 22]

Rates have remained steady since the flip probably half inch so far which is a shame but still pretty. I had to run out and get some things and drove southwest about 4 miles and there's literally nothing on the grass there

[North Balti Zen]

Rain here in Fallston in what will likely be a subsidence zone between the norlun and the ccb just to my east.

[SnowtoRain]

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

My god what a hockey game!!!!!

[ifindppl]

Spitting flakes in Olney.  

[bncho]

Anybody living in or around DC still under some subsidence?

[SnowenOutThere]

Hoping to get the norlun trough. It’s half the reason I came up from uva! Wanted to make sure I experienced this historic storm firsthand

[NorthArlington101]

Anybody living in or around DC still under some subsidence?

I mean, yeah. Doing nothing here right now.

Plan to pivot into Arlington early afternoon if general IVT idea holds. Otherwise I’ll just ride it out.

[Terpeast]

39/37 rain

My station may actually be running a tad warm compared to neighboring pws, most are at 37 actually

Where’s this bad boy developing?

[MillvilleWx]

Beautiful cross-section across MD from the shore to the Alleghany front. Decent omega throughout the region within the DGZ should allow for nice dendrites and efficient accumulations. This was taken from the 14z HRRR around 02z (9PM EST). Once it starts snowing, it'll absolutely accumulate efficiently. Areas of the Delmarva are going to get absolutely crushed. 1-2"/hr for hours for those areas. 10+ is all but certain for any area east of Cambridge longitude. Will be a fun evening for all! 

[BlizzardNole]

After a lull got a few flakes again that started falling right when that goal went through.  Stuck at 37

I know we are super close compared to most posters geography wise. I’m 390 ft and 3-4 miles southeast from Dulles. 

[Nomz]

Blacked out last night, anything noteworthy model runs wise or is it now casting time

Man I’m so excited to see nice big puffy flakes tonight. Love it when we get a saturated atmosphere just above freezing.

Anyone have the 14z HRRR Wxbell kuchera map?
