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 post is aging like fine wine. Great forecast!

I'm not trolling. I'm being realistic. It doesn't normally snow in DC or Virginia in mid-March, much less following 80-degree days. The sun angle is just too strong.

You need something really special, like the Storm of the Century in 1993, for it to snow at this time of year. We don't have that right now.

Must be an abnormal day

Sometimes, you have to use common sense and not rely on the models. How many times have you seen snow immediately following 80 degree days? I can't think of any.

If I happen to be wrong, I will personally come back here and apologize to you all. However, I know it's not going to happen, so I'm done posting on this thread because it's really unnecessary. Good night to everyone. 

Well?

Really slowed up in Germantown. Nothing but flurries now. Need that western edge of the radar to fill back in

Might as well be rain in downtown. Appreciate the restiveness regardless!

Snowing moderately into filthy puddles in downtown DC

Best snow I’ve seen this winter. Half an inch accumulation on the deck. Definitely an over performer compared to what I thought I would see. 
 

*I know I just heard a rumbling of thunder.

Okay, I'll admit I was wrong. It can snow in Baltimore, DC, and Virginia, even after it's 80 degrees. I've never seen that before, but I guess there's a first for everything.

(Although, the rain hasn't changed over where I am.)

Back end really pushing through. We’re gonna bust low for sure. GFS sucks.

All I can say is is that in MCLEAN and West Arlington we’ve had accumulating snow in mid March in the middle of the day while above freezing less than 24 hours after temps in the mid 80s. Rates baby.

[Maestrobjwa]

Really ripping here now. Once we got the rates it changed over quite quickly. Grass and roofs caving

[AU74]

About an inch on my deck now.

Snow really nicely here in the lowlands. 8 hours ago it sounded like summer in the woods. Now moderate snow. Wild

[paulythegun]

Are we expecting the coastal to take over, bomb, and then meander northwest (inland) before it occludes? 

[bncho]

McLean officially at freezing 32/30

[Bob Chill]

Deeeeep winter lol

[peribonca]

Moderate snow in La Plata. Everything except paved surfaces caved. 88F yesterday, 78F at midnight. Wow

Enjoy the snow while it lasts, wind is picking up out of the nw here.

No we will enjoy it when it’s not happening instead   Optimism is an actual word
