I have 2.0" on cold surfaces, an inch on the warm ground...0.17" water equivalent. The snow fall was wet with the temperature hovering between 31 and 32 all night. The front passed throuigh at 6AM with gusty winds and a brief squally snow. Temperature is falling quickly, down to 24 now with just a few flakes falling.

I wouldn't hang your hat on the squall line. It was just a quick swirling of snow and wind, not much accumulation with it.

it's supposed to pick up east of the mtns.. tho the hrrr is pretty crappy for all the attention it gets

almost every report around the closer in area is about 1/4"-1".. there could of course be some higher. His pic does not look like 2".

I live in Damascus so I'm not too far from where the pic was taken I'm guessing. I'm definitely around 1.5". There are a few hill tops closer to Mt Airy that sometimes squeeze out a bit more than my street, but I agree, the pic doesn't quite look like 2".

9z HRRR for the convective squall this afternoon, should be fun, not sure how many are aware but DC has a lightning mapping array, which will be interesting to watch to see if we do get any lightning with the squall passage,

I need something to beat my trace from last night/this morning. I grew up in lake effect country so squalls and I go way back!

Here's a nice image from Jan 26 of last year from the DC LMA (Note: these are not strikes but sources, which are then reconstructed to into a 3-d representation of each lightning strike):

Nice picture man. No grass visible? I think it was you who said all you wanted was an event where you can't see the grass afterwards...looks like you got it.

I'm home for the weekend -- Hopefully the "squail" doesn't fail.

Yup, it's the biggest event of the season here :lol: , and certainly more than I expected :)

The snow just stopped recently, but it was pretty light when I woke up.

Can't wait till the squail!

Went to bed at 3am with a mix, got up at 7 to nothing, so I didn't really see any true snow. Just wet ground here. 33. The prospects of a squall or 2 are nice, but they are usually scattered so many will get screwed. Thunder and lightning and a flash freeze possibility...finally a winter day around here. Light activity from CHO to Orange seems to be breaking up or weakening.

WOW, nice scene outside, the snow is covering the trees and everything except the roads. Looks like we got at least an inch, but I haven't measured. But it's really picturesque.

Better than the last two events IMO

Very pretty over here too! Snow already stopped when i woke up (about 30 minutes ago). Was snowing nicely around midnight. Not sure how much I have here. Long Green on the other side of the Reservoir got 1 inch
