Solid dusting! I am never tired of this (until April 1). 

[WVclimo]

0.5" here.  9th measurable snowfall of the winter, and the 8th one below 1 inch.

[dailylurker]

Awesome out here 

[arlwx12]

Visibility under 1/2 mile here in South Arlington.

About 1/4 inch or more on tree branches and shrubs.

My Hill of Doom and the sidewalks haven't surrendered yet, though.

[WEATHER53]

4pm update 

2-2.25” in full shade and 1.5-nearly 2” otherwise.  Snow has picked back up in intensity and flake size to moderate 

33.2F 

[LP08]

Maybe .25-.5 on the deck here in Arlington. Mod snow and 31

[clskinsfan]

Quite a bit more at home than at my office. We'll over 2 inches here. Ans still coming down nicely. I guess every foot of elevation helps in March. 

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Grass and cars have caved. Here we go! 

[Eskimo Joe]

So is there more coming or is this it?

[MountainGeek]

 

My WWA doesn't start until 10P tonight for 1" of snow. 

[ThePhotoGuy]

Beautiful out! Everything covered except paved surfaces. 29.8 degrees. 

[Miss Pixee]

Seems like everything runs mostly west-east until midnight ish - then wave two comes north. Supposed to dry out in between but guess we’ll see. 

[WesternFringe]

About 1.5” here on grass and elevated surfaces.  Some melting and compaction now. 33° and light rain currently.

[dailylurker]

This is the third time this season that I've noticed a different from sea level to 180 feet elevation. Steady beautiful snow and 30 at 180'.

[IronTy]

Heck I might end up with more snow on the ground from this event vs the blizzard of the century from last weekend.  

[The Dude]

A bit over 2" so far.  I'm .25" from my second biggest event of the season!

Seems like that back edge is coming east pretty fast for round one here.

[Weather Will]

Fine powdered sugar decktopper achieved. The dead leaves on the grass are whitening.

Enjoying the view I expected nothing. Snow is always welcome.

[WxUSAF]

Just got home to Columbia. 0.9” on the board! 
 

Interesting variations in accumulation along my drive. Greenbelt around 1” since they got that heavy band. Almost nothing through laurel and then some snow again near Jessup and north Laurel and then notable jump crossing 95 and the fall line.

[Amped]

Grass covered so March won't be a shutout.
