Do you think the 5H is closing off now. Heavy snow here with all surfaces caving.

Trough is tilting negative currently, so we'll see the 500mb heights probably close off over VA within the next 2-4hrs.

It's unclear how folks like 45 miles SE of me are getting snow. 

Not a single flake. Temperature steady at 37-38 the entire day. 

I failed to take into account the rain to snow transition, which always happens far later than models depict.

Hoping we break 3". Expectations very low now. 

Because they're getting heavier rates and resulting dynamic cooling.

[Wetbulbs88]

Lol getting back on here and realizing literally everyone around me is snowing. 

I can't wait to move away from DC.

Is that band condensed east of the state college radar the IVT?

Heavy snow since 2 pm. Nearly an inch...... Road and paved driveway covered.

Temp dropped from 35 to 32.

That makes sense then that it hit you first just to my north , wrap around moisture flow from the NNE... That LP must be starting to really bomb..

Rates are fine now. At least moderate rain, at times heavy.

Mom has heavy snow with huge cotton balls a few miles south of Dunkirk.  Still just a light rain/snow mix in Germantown, hoping to win the IVT lottery later

Just flipped over in Hughesville

Yikes at the rates outside the IVT. Just nothing happening.

Being an Osfan has resulted in you also being miserable during every event.

I've assumed the zen acceptance that this is a dogshit snow-town. 

Living in NYC spoiled me. 

[Ravens94]

Flakes on 301 NE of Ashland VA

Pretty good snow right now.

Starting to stick to everything but pavement.

Down to 31.

Imagine getting excited about a Miller B with onset temps of 40 in DC proper.  Couldn't be me.
