Much less here in Clarksburg. 0.8". Maybe the squall line this afternoon can fix that.

I'm surprised that 6 mi to the west has less. It started as snow here and pretty much remained snow the entire time. I think I recall you posted that it was raining for a time in Clarksburg?

Yup, it didn't switch over to snow until 9pm. I'm at 565ft and think you are a bit higher. That was probably what did it.

Edited to add: it's snowing again.

Ha it sure is! If you look at the radar, the atmosphere is so moist that echoes that barely show, like what's over us now, have snow reaching the ground. Looks like a patch developing in SW Fred Co? (I was looking at Weather Underground FWIW)

with all this moisture in the atmosphere and an arctic front on the way, the decent forcing should give us some nice snow showers "of varying intensity" as Gordon Barnes used to often say

radar is lighting up to the west of the big cities as this radar accurately depicts

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

That 1" measurement was almost 6 hours ago, so I think you got a bit more :)

Wanna sled? :sled:

Looking at the radar you have to like the building radar returns to the west of the cities with the prefrontal forcing.

I never realized just how much it sucks living in the city until this winter.

I never realized how many people on this board don't live in an urban area... In this part of Bethesda I didn't see a single flake through 0300, and nothing stuck. Now at 35.2F... Congrats to all who got measurable...

Its impossible to tell now that compaction/melting is taking place, but I will take your word for it!

Funny you mention sledding, I was just thinking about how great it would be to get a decent snowfall so we could go sledding :)
