8 inches! Can we make a run at 10? Ft. hunt area of Fairfax county!

As of 1053, 7inches. Impressive considering snow didn’t start accumulating until 7am.

They will get theirs at some point…while we enjoy our 33 and rain. But right now this is awesome for us lowlanders!

Outages so far in Fairfax county

1.5 inches in 30 minutes. Total up to 5.5 now. Insane!

Wow, about as much visibility as 2016 storm. Can barely make out the house across the street!

4 inches as of 9:30, power flickering.

I told Y’all I would bring winter back with me from Montana. Mission accomplished.

Well, I just lost the snow contest…

1.5” so far. Getting pounded…Fort Hunt, Va

Roads just caved…

Ripping now. .5” on trash can lids. 33.4 and falling. Roads should cave soon.

Snow is a in my back yard sport! My backyard > you backyard, at least this one time…

My first guess, call, final guess and final call snow map.

I don’t think temp is a criteria any more… A Blizzard Warning indicates that blizzard conditions (low visibility of less than 1/4 mile due to falling and/or blowing snow, and winds at least 35 mph) are expected for at least 3 hours.

This was my plan all along! Happy to go down in flames!

Upgraded to warning!

I am so sorry. Losing a parent is so hard. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

It was intense for about 30 minutes! Then the sun came out!

A few more shots from Yellowstone then the Drive back to Bozeman today , which was challenging. Icy with snowpack, thank god for the 4 wheel Drive forerunner I had! Currently -1 here in Bozeman. 6am flight tomorrow, that’s gonna hurt!

Ok a few more, starting with our last day at Big Sky, had a mini blizzard with white out conditions, then a few shots from west Yellowstone at the Grizzly and Wolf Discover Center which is an awesome place, home for rehabbing wolves and bears that have become habbitualized to humans.

LOL, just hoping the flights aren’t cancelled. That last pic is a a pine tree next to a hot spring, frozen encrusted by steam with the snow continually caked on top. Lovely effects they make. Here is another example.

Greetings from West Yellowstone! It’s about 4 degrees and been snowing since we got here on Monday. Usually just pixies dust, but it add up. They had 2 feet last Sunday, probably another 4” since. A true winter wonderland! Went snowmobiling yesterday in the park, amazing! This should be on anyones winter bucket list. Saw bison, a bald Eagle, trumpeter swan and an elusive bobcat! And of course old faithful! Cold as F. With temp about 2 degrees and 35mph on the sled, about -24 windchill all day! Coldest I have ever been but exhilarating! Had an awesome post Yellowstone survival dinner with the family, Montana rye Manhattan, elk medallions with a cab reduction and huckleberry bread pudding! There, I think I have covered all banter topics in one post, little bit of weather, food and drink! Back to DC on Thursday! Will try to drag some of this winter weather back with me on my Delta flight! Happy New Year!

Epic winter day here in Big Sky, Mt. My current view! Moderate to heavy snow, Temps in low 20s and falling, winds gusting to 25 with 3-5” of snow expected today. Tomorrow off to west Yellowstone, Mt in preparation for snowmobiling in Yellowstone on Tuesday. Here is the forecast for Yellowstone! Yikes!
