Still a 1036mb high overhead: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/sfc/sfcobs/latestsfc.html

 

 

 

Yeah, but this is the 500mb pattern, super unfavorable on large scale as a sustained thing, it's taking a few days to change the surface.

Some schools (Fairfax and some to the NW) are delayed two hours.

Probably to ensure most leftover black ice gets melted/washed away or visible.

Temp around 30 and sounds like rain on my roof and windows

BWI reported 1”! How did IAD only have 0.4”??

I believe this is the first winter since 17-18 that BWI has recorded more than a T of snowfall in 4 straight months (Dec-Mar).

Can you imagine how much you would have gotten 30 years ago. Probably 50". 

Eh, idk. This winter has been pretty dry. Maybe tack on a few extra inches

Actually (nerding out for a minute), 30 years ago was 1985-86, a backloaded nina winter. IAD got 15.6" total. I've already beaten that

1.0” snow yesterday.  Light glaze on elevated surfaces overnight.

I like your math better. To be in my 30s again

Enough of a glaze of ice to delay school 2hrs.

I know last week there was a discussion about the total new snow reporting at Wintergreen. Yesterday, their Devil’s Knob camera  ( golf course on top of mountain) showed the ground going from clear to snow covered, even the walkways. The three ski trail cameras also showed snow falling.  Grass is still snow covered this AM but there is no new snow being reported. I think Devils Knob is the highest golf course in Virginia.
