mattie g Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm glad you chose to come home. I'm thrilled to have made it back! To be fair, it wasn't as much a choice as it was the willingness of others to release me. I was the second to change my flight - about 25 others (even naysayers) followed suit shortly thereafter!

vastateofmind Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Looking at the Weathertap radar from LWX, Fairfax County is in a clear snow-hole with snow showing up in every direction, including north of DC. So far not a flake, 10 mi south of National Airport. We're about that distance, perhaps a tad more, from DCA and I'm seeing first flakes IMBY.

bsperlin Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 That's not snow on the radar. It isn't supposed to be snowing there yet that's why it isn't, it's still to your SW. Well, if the reflections to our east, NW and N are virga then ... I'm reporting that there's not even virga over us in that snow-hole.(and no flakes at the instant that I'm writing this line.
