14.5" here on the Gaithersburg/Germantown line measured at 7:45. Took the dog for a walk, and just before 8 started mixing with some sleet. When snow, the flakes are heavily rimed and rather painful. Still moderate to heavy at times snow here. Just a side note, room mate cleared the sidewalk at 6:45 and I measured 3" when I stepped out, so amounts easily over 2" an hour.

 

This is beyond even my expectations. I expected around 10" at sunrise, not over a foot. Deform band should be rocking later. 20" may be too low

Question about amounts from spotters in Pub Info Stmt:  are they measuring what is on the ground, or are they reporting amounts by clearing a measuring board every six hours? 

 

Oscillating back and forth between all sleet and snow/sleet mix.  26.

 

* NOTE * -- wow at the temp diffs over short distances -- DCA at 36; Dulles 23, HGR 21!

I cleared my board at midnight last night. 8.3 then, had a new 6.0 at 6 am. that worked out to 14.3, there was just a shade over 14 (14.1?) on ground.
