Absolutely CRAZY Almanac for today. High of 87, low of 30.
McLean apparently is 34/33 and SN+. I'm probably just gonna record whatever @MN Transplant records.

When was it 87 at McLean today? That number has to be from yesterday

[AU74]

Grass is starting to cave here in 20905.

I remember there used to be a traffic cam near Manchester, MD (MD-30 at PA line) but I don’t know where to find it anymore.

I wish I could see it because any higher terrain that gets good rates will probably get the best accumulation.

[bncho]

Beautiful SN in Annandale. Beautiful.

[MDSnow93]

Really ripping here in Germantown. Non-paved surfaces are caving. 33.1°

Md roads app. Nothing on the ground there. Apparently lighter snow up there. Can hardly even tell it’s snowing

dropped from 71 at 7 AM to just 42 now. it was 74 at midnight

Just can’t get into the heavy precip inside the Beltway. Need to wait for this to push east.

[Bob Chill]

Thundersleet lol. What a wild day

[Jake Wx]

radar looks like its filling in the east side 

[Hank Scorpio]

Just dropped to 33.9° where I am in Leesburg and snow is starting to stick in the grass. 

Fun event!

Hey at least you and me are in this cold rain show together. Though I can hopefully jet out to the Afton overlook for the sunset after my lab. 

[Grothar of Herndon]

Ripping here. Flatties 

Trees and mulch starting to cave

Sleeting pretty good in Navy Yard

[Hoosweather]

Accumulating nicely at Wintergreen, Va 3600 feet: https://www.wintergreenresort.com/mountain-report-cams/

Sigh.  Over by Navy Yard.    Rain.  I hate it here

It’s been very light mix near Cap 1 for the past hour or so. Just want a good jebwalk.

[hstorm]

Getting close to a legit 0.1" on the grass.  33.8 degrees.

[osfan24]

Kinda pulsing here between maybe mod snow and a flizzard. Gonna need that mod snow consistently to get the grass to cave at these temps.

[WhiteoutMD]

Is it back building? Little tilt maybe?

Just went out and now it’s sleet/snow mix.  Wild day

[Kleimax]

Was dumping in that band but it shifted west a bit

Just got the text from the family that it’s all snow in our corner of Arlington. Hopefully we all flip fully soon.

[Terpeast]

Shushy accums underway, first 0.1". Heavy snow, 34

[MDSnow93]

I wasn't even expecting snow before noon. The fact that I have accumulation already.. could the cracked out models be on to something?

[diatae]

Bright and cloudy, 38.

Come on, you all know it really isn't going to snow this far south. This isn't New England. There is no cold air, the ground is too warm, and the sun angle is way too strong.

This is now the number 1 seed of the donkey comments of winter

It’s not gonna be 6” but I suspect someone achieves the EURO snow depth of ~1”

I was just going to say.. I bet you flip soon, and you might end up in a better spot than us in the nw burbs

[Skywalker03]

Dumping snow in Rockville right now. Slight whitening of mulch
