System looks impressive from the TV. Wish NC's Piedmont got snow.

Anyways to reiterate what I said last night (below). Did I specify a location? Obviously higher elevations locations that have had previous freezes would have snowfall ratios higher than lower elevations. Did I say it would not stick? I just said that snowfall ratios would be effected. There are also other factors that would enhance or reduce rates. Ill just post in the future in a way that others don't take my posts literally. "Also keep in mind ground temperatures are still relatively warm, so a couple of inches could be lost to melting."

Seems like we always make our way into the deform band out here....probably an inch or so on the ground...side streets very slushy....great first event of the season given the time....no complaints from me....steady light snow still

Same here... In general,'what ever rolls through Leesburg usually rolls through Damascus.

very good band coming into DC...heading back out....Loudoun, Upper Moco, etc could get superbanded

Yeah this is going to finish up real strong here...soon Ji will come in and talk about if we didn't have the sleet what this could have been....he obviously is not very flexible....I doubt he can even touch his toes :arrowhead:

Just took a drive up the mountain. Probably the tightest elevation gradient I have seen. 350'-500' it is snowing, but only about .5-1" on the grass. 500-900' snowing at a good clip and sticking to everything (highway included above ~700') with probably 1.5"-2" around 500-60' up to 3-4" at 800-900'. Above 900' the snow is rockin'....probably 4" at 900' up to about 5-6" at 1100'. Highways are a mess going over south mountain as well. Even in the valleys over south mtn (middletown, etc) there is 2-3". I didn't go higher than about 1100' because it was getting a bit perilous. I forgot the camera....sorry.

Recently moved to Louisville, Ky to go back to school but have thoroughly enjoyed watching this system! Never remember seeing flakes in October or November along the bay in my 24 years. Looks like this one is going to go out with a bang given that deform band rotating through the metro areas! Totally awesome! Remember... it's freaking October people!
