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.)

Karma is a bi$@#!

1.5” measured on deck railing.

In accordance with tradition from another weather community I'm in, I'm committing to a salt bet: If DCA reports 0.1" or more of accumulated snow, I will eat a tablespoon of salt.

Uh oh lol

Pretty scenery in Lutherville - Timonium.  Patio and furniture .covered in back. Golfing in shorts yesterday

[rjvanals]

Have picked up 1.3” on my snowboard w ~.5” on the ground 

[Alfoman]

DC downtown keeps switching from a minute of light snow with rain mixed in to bursts of +SN, wild day of weather for the bday 

[Nomz]

34/32 in DCA and stilling falling. Water starting to collect on the surface which is usually a death sentence though.

Trying to get to 0.5” on the deck railing.  I was sweating on my 5:45 walk to the metro lol.  One of the craziest weather days experienced.

[Terpeast]

dry air stopped at the LoCo/FFX Co line per radar. East of that should get an inch maybe even 2

Just insane 

3/11 1pm ob-72F headed to high of 83 

3/12. 1pm ob-35F moderate to heavy snow .  All areas covered and near 0.5” in full shade spots 

can’t remember another one like this 

Next interesting time will be 3pm when radiance is dropping fast and then dark after that.  Something is forming off outer banks and gulf fetch is mixing in.  Let’s see if we can get more  south to north move and stay in this longer

Per NWS Employees:

0.5" 1 N Tysons Corner at 115pm

1.0" 1 NNE Herndon at 125pm

In Harford county, at work. I really wanna see what this looks like under that band as it moves east… but Baltimore looks like it’s having a grand old time! Wish I was there. As is, mixing here, more and more snow by the minute.

Still a steady light snow here, just a few miles east of the county line.  We definitely got the goods for the past few hours.  Hopefully those to the east now also cash in.

Nice big flakes. Even sticking to the grasses in the lowlands of College Park.

Interesting. OEC was getting whacked when I drove thru 10 min ago on my way to work, huge flakes

It absolutely ripped for an hour or so. Just amazing. Super fun event.

Just traveled home from Annapolis.  Drove 32 to 70 west.  Fantastic drive through whiteout conditions for about 30 minutes. Temps hovered around 34.  Grass was covered.  Cars had snow pounding horizontally.  Wonderful experience.

[GramaxRefugee]

True snowfall at 1:30 in Annapolis. Mod- Hvy. We're a couple hours behind here, but it's scenic.

Is that the same NWS Employee who reported 0.2" at 1215pm in Herndon?  If so... thats basically reporting rates of nearly an inch per hour lol

[WxUSAF]

0.5” on the snowboard!

Totally dry in Germantown 

[Ephesians2]

Pretty much done but I'm honestly shocked to have gotten measurable snow out of this. Got about an hour and a half of moderate/heavy snow.

Yes! It’s so interesting. Snow fades away for 10 seconds then rushes back down to the ground.

[MillvilleWx]

33° in Gambrills/Crofton area 

Moderate snow with massive aggregates. Accumulating very easily on everything but pavement and concrete 

[Kay]

Finally getting rates and snow. Beautiful parachutes. No accum

Really surprised that my deck caved. This is a nice treat after the brief summer we had. 

[arlwx12]

Snow/grass/shrubtopper in South Arlington.

Still melting on pavements and roads, though.

Quickly went from ripping to steady to just very light flakes. May be ending here... 

[Eskimo Joe]

Mesonet data really underscores how the rates saved us. Layhill and Potomac in Montgomery County are 32 degrees. But further west in Poolesville where the precipitation has ended it's rebounded to 38 degrees already.

Everything minus time of day (and year, lol) worked out well here.
