Please share more...

CWG talking about the western band/norlun putting down a 20-30 mile wide section of 8"+, but it'll be a nowcasting thing. I agree with them.

[hstorm]

Continuing to dump snow in Great Falls. Georgetown Pike is covered despite pretty regular plowing.  

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

HRRR slightly left now with the norlun, gonna be a question mark til we see it on radar.

An hour ago they were talking about why their boom scenario has such a large range. Ain't nobody crazy enough at this point to be suggesting we're booming.

Okay was going to say. We're still snowing light-moderate and no paved surfaces covered. Back edge within spitting distance.

More for some of the local peeps...

I think you missed the expected timing on the “storm”. It has been a bust for the western crew mostly, and the IVT is the item that is hopeful to save many from a complete bust. It’s TBD who it will save. 

We are not going to get the NWS stated totals here.  Would not call it a bust as this was always a questionable situation.  Still think we break the Chris 3" over/under.

What time will we start seeing it develop?

It's beginning to be a smoke show here in Harrisburg del. Headed out for a jebwalk right now. The guy at the front desk already thinks I'm a weirdo. 

Dude- "Why does that guy keep going outside and wondering around the parking lot? Is he looking at the street lights? Wtf?

I thought you were going to the coast?

I don't see any wraparound or backbuilding making it westward. But we'll see. 

It’s hard to see what is not supposed to be occurring yet

how is it over when the snow was supposed to start in earnest after midnight?

What model shows that at this point? At least or this way. HRRR says we're basically done out this way but sure hope it's wrong.

In harriman NY during the 25th Jan storm I was probably looked at weird for sitting out on the bench in front of the hotel with my heavy coat on at 5 degrees w heavy snow for an hour.

Color me shocked that Baltimore is getting fucked yet again. 
 

A decade of misery continues. 

[osfan24]

So slushy out. Very slippery. Lots of sirens in the distance.

[Eskimo Joe]

Roads are giving up. Accidents spiking along I-270 in NW Montgomery County up to Frederick. Also in Mt. Airy.

so all the warnings and advisories have been canceled?

Huh? 

We've never had warnings and advisories whose criteria were not met?

I meant less for us more for west of our area, along/west of 81. 2” or so earlier and added .75” or so since 330. Starting to stack much easier now, road covered.

Insane micro-climate going on around DC. Mostly rain, wintry mix on the national mall. Drove over the bridge and moderate snow in Rosslyn. Interesting!

True, look at the 1 hr precip maps on the HRRR our event goes bye bye pretty quick.

Now 34/33 and the snow is having its gold medal ceremony

Loved you in the East West all star game 

[Solution Man]

More wind than anything 

[DarthHokie]

1.2 inches near dulles.. roads covered

[Jebman]

Hear that? It's the sound of pure bliss for snow enthusiasts.  The welcome sound of tires spinning futilely in rapidly-deepening snow!

Hrrr gives her an additional dusting to 1/2” at most but let her keep dreaming. 

[Wonderdog]

Light snow now and winds picking up in Gainesville.
