35.6 and rain with large flakes mixing in now near Lothian, MD

[GreyHat]

Magnolia 

37F

Huge snowflakes 

Supposed to start around 2

[SnowenOutThere]

Under that band of rain setting up over Dulles. Thinking the higher reflectivity is melting snow aloft so hopefully can cool down to the surface

Right there or a little further east would hit the spot

[southmdwatcher]

Snow is mixing in now here in central Charles County

[JakkelWx]

SNOW!

[mdhokie]

White rain out in Deep Creek, grassy areas have a coating but driveway is just wet. Ellicott City has been mostly rain, a couple of wet snowflakes at times. Of course my philly house camera went down last night so I'm not gonna be able to see the goodness happening up there until I can make it up to shovel.

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

I’m at 350, 7 miles NW of IAD. My relatively mid elevation hasn’t hurt me before in marginal events, but this time it might 

[clskinsfan]

RGEM already busted with it's accumulations out here.

Rug pull for Loudoun now too. I need a new hobby. Too much time spent chasing nothing

I was pleasantly surprised with the holistic decision-making they seemed to take for last storm. I think at worst it's 2hr delay with liberal leave tomorrow. One day of maximum telework wouldn't be shocking

Looks like we'll sit this one out. Might see a dusting out here if we're lucky, just not our storm, it happens.

Bring on Spring.

That's good right there. That's still right over me but instead of the western edge in right smack in the middle.

[NorthArlington101]

fwiw the HRRR 1hr is really good from like 5pm-on, regardless of that megaband

[weatherCCB]

Down to 36

Close. I am 4.5 miles east of Dulles airport and on the edge if it sets up as shown

[Thanatos_I_Am]

In Oxon Hill at the moment. All rain. Depressing!

[GreyHat]

Magnolia 

36F as temps fall

 

[Weather Will]

NWS should downgrade the winter storm warning to a drizzle warning for Frederick.  I bet I don't get an inch.

You know this, but the warning hasn't started yet.
