My bar is always 8" in DC proper, so that Metro shuts down. If that happens Wed/Thu, I'm sending Randy $100. For real.

Unlike GoT winter never came.

IMHO, this is the first day this winter that it feels and smells like snow. Can I get an AMEN?

FYI: My bet still stands. If it snows deep enough to shut down Metro, I send Randy $100 for AW. Can't remember when I paid the last time.

Can someone post a picture of white rain? Asking for a friend.

I thought the board had a strict policy against posting porn?

Um, that would be the case on a beautiful day in June.

Snowing moderately in west Alexandria/Annandale.

Is the bus ready?

How the heck do I measure this?

Looks interesting, if the hype pans out: IBM Global High Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System

Thx, been trolling AP but it's frankly boring. I'm ready for some serious snow, so I'll lurk and read what the Smartguys think.

I consider bacon a condiment. Just saying . . . .

I'll be on the Danube the first two weeks of December, cruising from Munich to Vienna. I bought my first pair of L.L. Bean Duck shoes in anticipation of snow.

Glad you are ok. Does your snowmobile have an emergency pack? I love snow but the older I get the more respect I have for it - especially when it's over a foot.

Although folks are reporting 8”+ Metro is running without incident. Looking forward to the next opportunity.

This storm is like the Energizer Bunny.

BRING.IT.ON.

I've put my checkbook away for now, but for every snowstorm predicted to deliver accumulating snow and actually delivers 8"+ and shuts down DC Metro above ground, AMWX gets a $100 check.

Little River Turnpike at Braddock Road (near Annandale) was completely covered when I drove back from a party. Side streets are all white. Moderate snowing. I'm happy.

OK, I'm putting my money where it counts. If this storm produces 8" or more in the DC metro area and Metro closes above ground tracks/stations, I will write a check for $100 to A/W. Bring it!

I thought that the Snowmageddon event (both storms) would be the top of my list for a very long time. But I was still working and as a government contractor, I was considered essential and got permission to work from home for 4 days. The problem: the agency's aging servers could not keep up with the VM demands of everyone telecommuting and I lost a lot of work when everything crashed. Very stressful, and it took any joy out of enjoying the wondrous snowscape. But this storm for me is very different. I'm retired, and my calendar is clear for the next couple of days. While my neighbors are digging out thinking they will go to work Monday (and with no snowplow in sight), I'm chillin in a hot bathtub with a cup of my favorite coffee and listening to some quality jazz. Later, I'll venture out with my Canon to take some quality pictures. This storm had everything: a fun-filled 5 days of tracking with moments of high drama (fooking Euro); early start, and for some of us, moments of disappointment (DT, please!) with a 5 hour lull in DC followed by a stunning display of nature's fury. I sit with 2' and a 5 foot drift on my left side that's past the windowsills. It's just glorious, and I can savor the beauty for many, many days.
