Started out as rain when I left work and around 28 and Waxpool Rd it became more snow then rain and by the time I hit Nokes Blvd near dulles town center it was all snow, big ole flakes smacking against the window. Time I got home near Wegmans on Rt 7, it was few flakes and drizzle. Now sitting at 33* here

With all due respect to PSU, time of day most certainly matters when temps are marginal. The only people seeing snow are the ones that started after some of the daytime heating had dissipated.

 

well colder air is also bleeding in so it's not all nighttime. but by this time of year you probably want it to snow at night unless its in the 20s and ripping.

This reminds me of Feb 23, 1987....big flakes, heavy heavy snow, of course it won't be 15 inches in 9 hours but nice to look at.

 

arguably my favorite storm of all time and have seen that storm pop up around threads here recently.  flakes were so big they lit up the night sky.  i was a kid so they looked like freakin' snowballs, but i don't think i remember a storm with crazier rates.  i was too young for 1983, but heard that was sick as well.

Steady rain.

 

Expecting about three flurries just before the precip shuts off at 1130pm and skies clear. Back edge is coming up faster than that asteroid that's hurtling close to Earth. At least these heartbreaks are consistent. Models are coming into decent agreement that any low that forms along the front should stay far enough east to keep us mainly dry.
