No.

I'm getting moderate snow in Germantown... 2 mile visibility. No way it's going to be that much worse where you are.

If you can't see down the street, or even across to your neighbor's house... that's SN++

I thought SN++ meant 1/4mi? Thats about what it is unless my interpretation of a mile is off. If you're near Seneca you're south of me by only 5 or 6 miles so difference shouldn't be too huge.

Technically there's no such thing as SN++. +SN (heavy snow) is around 1/4 to 1/2 mi. visibility. A good M1/8 visibility would be what I consider to be ++SN (fixing the order because that's how it should be :P)

I call B.S. on your visibility estimate.

Heavy snow in Damascus.

Lost power here for the past 10-15 minutes, but thankfully it came back on. Gonna get hairy here this evening if we get winds with the passage of the upper low.

Still without power here snow has been over for several hours now yet incredible happy that there has been little tree damage.

Taken a ton of pictures of this maybe once in a lifetime event?

It snowed in Stephens City until about an hour ago. The good snow ended around noon. Despite moderate snow falling, accumulations peaked around 10:30 or so, then the temps jumped up into the mid-30s, and snow began melting. I measured 2 inches. It's a little disappointing to see so much wasted snow; if the snow had started 6 hours earlier we'd surely had another couple inches w/o the sun. Then I realized that it's October, so I can't be too disappointed.

My in-laws, who live in Point O'Woods in Warren County (elev. 1500'), had nearly 6-inches, and have been w/o power since around 10 AM.
