Moderate to locally heavy snow will continue to move across eastern West Virginia, Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and central and southern Maryland early this morning, leading to deteriorating travel conditions. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are possible, and visibility may drop to one quarter mile at times, which can make travel nearly impossible at times, or at least very dangerous. It is highly recommended to delay any travel that is not necessary. These heavier snow bands will depart from west to east between 5 and 10 AM. $$

Its here -- https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0019.html Mesoscale Discussion 0019 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0112 AM CST Mon Jan 06 2025 Areas affected...eastern West Virginia and northern Virginia into the DelMarVa Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 060712Z - 061215Z SUMMARY...1+ inch per hour snowfall rates are expected early this morning. DISCUSSION...A band of moderate to heavy snow has developed across northern Virginia amid strong isentropic ascent and frontogenesis early this morning in response to a strengthening low-level jet. Evidence of this can be seen on the FCX VWP where 1.5 km winds have strengthened from 50 to 65 knots in the last 90 minutes. These conditions favorable for heavy snowfall are expected to shift east through the early morning hours with the expanding low-level jet, and heavier snowfall rates expected to impact the DelMarVa within the next few hours. Maximum snowfall rates of 1 to 1.5 inches per hour are expected. ..Bentley.. 01/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PHI...AKQ...LWX...RLX...

VIS 3/4 mile at KDCA/KIAD at 2am OBS... 1/2 mile at KBWI

It will. Luckily for me I work nights -- my job closed for snow -- and I'm a night owl, so I am staying up all night. We may not be as young as we were in the past storms, but when you get storms like this... all nighters are required reading

I keep waiting for MCD 0019

Remember, don't eat the yellow snow

EPS looks a bit better than the OP

Richmond has 4"
