Snowing hard at Canaan....probably picked up over an inch in the hour since it started.

it's just a different world in Garrett Co., Elkins and at Canaan

get off the mt tops and it's a different story as far as accumulations are concerned

just look at the hourly obs from WVA where they have snow falling outside the mts

Yep...little Canada!

They are easily getting rates of 2 inches/hour right now. DUMPING

The ground was completely bare at 2:30pm

48 here and a few miles west in leesburg it's 46. Drop started when the winds picked up.

Nothing drastic, if it was snowing now in Winchester I could say that we had hope, but looks to change over there in a few hours as expected.

Dunno if it's kts or mph but the NAM brings through sustained winds of 25 (kts or mph) with higher gusts during the changeover and thumping. Could still be a cool sight to see even if we get no accumulation.

The HRRR gets us a little gusty from 7-midnight. I think people are going to be pleased with how it looks when it does finally snow, even knowing that accumulations will be about nil.

Woops! Veronica Johnson on NBC4 in DC just said a Winter Storm Watch is up for a majority of our northern and western counties. She even had a graphic that had it written all over.

Oh well...guess this is an example of the "well, the majority of the public still doesn't know the difference between all the advisories and warnings, so i guess it doesn't matter." LOL. I'm shocked she made that mistake.

Someone said we'd be 47 degrees by 5pm. Scratch that.

Temps holding tough in the 50s - warm air will be hard to scour out until about 9am Thursday when the CAA starts kicking ass under strong sunshine with dry air.

I think we finally fall into the upper 40s by about 10 pm tonight.

Didn't you also say the precip will be out of here by noon today?

Its 50* here at 4pm, so 47 doesn't seem too far off

But are you *really* shocked?

the NAM is flying....once the vort passes, precip cuts off...and there is really no lag time between the 850 low and the 500mb vort....i think most of us are screwed unless there are some amazing dynamics and convective snow.....I think the question is once it changes over if we get a deform band to form somewhere to the west/nw and swing through...but even then unless there are sick dynamics, it would probably be a cartopper at best...there is no precip left to work with..and while I realize dynamics could trump everything, I am not terribly jazzed that it is 55 and pouring 6-8 hours out from this "event"

I agree, I haven't been very impressed and with the low coming so close the crappy 850 low track cold advection will be fighting vorticity advection as the temps drop. That's not a great combo. I like what I said on CWG this morning. I just don't see how we can get even car top snow very easily in the district. To me this is a worse set up than in October. I'll be happy to get a few flakes and think where I live that might be tough to come by.

Yeah, I feel like to whoever a watch vs. advisory means anything, information is gotten online or through other sources, not the local news. Even before internet, I remember as a kid calling 4109361212 to get the forecasts or listening to my dinky weather radio.

And then came internet.

There was a lot more energy hanging back in October.....12 hours from now, the back edge of this thing will be in Lowell, Mass.....the window of opportunity is so small.....I don't see me or you going much below 35-36 either....how exactly is this supposed to stick?...hopefully there will be a wintry scene for a bit...snow flying might be the best we can hope for

Impressive mild air in northern VA at 440pm still in the low 50s with a north breeze

Heavy rain - coming up on 4 inches' worth of rain since Tuesday

Lot more heavy rain on the way - The Flood Warning is definitely justified

Enjoy the heavy snows in the mountains and MUCH farther north and west
