First fat, fat dendrites falling from that band that just blew up in wester MoCo.  Just got home.  Looks like 8" although I have not measured.  This should be a fun 15-20 minutes coming up.

 

22.3F on 5mph N winds.

I measured 8.3" as of 4:00

6.5" here in Chevy Chase, MD.  Makes it the biggest event on the season, just past Feb. 21.  It's still snowing lightly but that's probably about it.  Maybe I pick up a couple more tenths if lucky.  Great storm, and great way to usher out the season (assuming there's really nothing after this)!  The last 5 weeks made this winter...what a come-back!  It's like being down by a lot late in the game...then scoring on a fake punt, recovering an onside kick to score again, then recovering a fumble for another to win it.  This storm was the exclamation point.  Wham!

Still snowing. I think that band out in West Virginia is helping to backbuild the snow. Wind is blowing powder off of houses and cars. It looks and feels a lot more like mid January than March 5. Down to a refreshing 23 degrees. The pleasant northerly breeze is taking the wind chill down to about 3. :)
