Guidance has been persistent with the line falling apart and then re energizing near the metro areas. 

Line is falling apart to the west. I only expected a nanotechnological dusting, I even had the scanning electron microscope all set up lol

 

One thing is for sure - we do wind very well. We have a decent chance of falling trees tonight lmao

...HAZARDOUS WINTER CONDITIONS THIS EVENING...

AN STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC THIS
EVENING. THROUGH 8 PM EXPECT SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS AND WINDY
CONDITIONS AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...ALONG WITH POSSIBLE
THUNDERSNOW.


BURSTS OF HEAVY SNOW COULD PRODUCE A QUICK COATING TO AN INCH OF
SNOW ACCUMULATION IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WHITEOUT CONDITIONS
AND THUNDERSNOW HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN WESTERN MARYLAND
.

ROADS WILL BECOME SNOW COVERED AND SLICK THIS EVENING. ALSO...WINDS
ACCOMPANYING THE SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS WILL BECOME STRONG...
GUSTING 40 TO 50 MPH
. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW SHOWERS AND STRONG
WINDS WILL LEAD TO VISIBILITIES OF ONE HALF MILE OR LESS. THESE
LOW VISIBILITIES WILL DEVELOP SUDDENLY.

TRAVELERS ACROSS THE REGION ARE ADVISED TO USE EXTREME CAUTION
THROUGH THIS EVENING.
BE PREPARED FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING CONDITIONS
AS THE ARCTIC FRONT MOVES THROUGH. BURSTS OF HEAVY SNOW WITH
SUDDEN VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS COULD MAKE FOR DANGEROUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS.

AFTER THE SNOW ENDS LATE THIS EVENING...VERY COLD AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC. THE VERY COLD AIR WILL ALLOW ANY SNOW OR
SLUSH ON AREA ROADS TO FREEZE...RESULTING IN ICY CONDITIONS. WIND
CHILLS WILL QUICKLY FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS THIS EVENING.

18 here in Davis.  The main squall dropped viz to 50 feet and it was hard to walk.  Seems like it dumped quite a bit of snow, though impossible to measure because of drifting.  Now moderate snow.  I imagine it will snow all evening.  Curious if we get into heavier bands again.  Lighting reported close by.  

 

Rooting for DC!

I'll take what i can get, hope it does reenergize. Those who are getting snow from this, enjoy!

Personally, I really enjoy steppin and fetchin, bowing and scraping, beggin' and groveling for snow here in the mid atlantic. Because once I do get a scrap, it is all the more delicious. LOL
