28" in Ashburn, VA

Near route 7 and Ashburn Village Blvd.

Still snowing heavy with 1/8 vsby

 

Would it be safe to steal that measurement from you and subtract an inch or two for my area in Herndon?  Heavy snow here as well, can barely see the park across the street.

Heres a few pics I took. There is not a whole lot of areas around my house I can get to. I am 6 feet tall and the snow comes up to my crotch while trying to walk in it:

View from my front porch. There are 3 cars in my driveway including an F150 which is behind the drift you see.

View from the edge of my driveway. Drift on one of my cars is to the right. Neighbors house across the street. This drift is 8 feet high.

Other side of drift. There is a car under there that my ass has to dig out tomorrow. Ridiculous.

 

 

I will take more pics once the snow stops. But as of right now it's still dumping. Next measurement at 3:00

 

Great pictures. Similar situation around my house - I went out about an hour and a half ago to take measurements, and it was not an easy task (drifts making it worse).

Central Park is at 14.7. DCA is at 14.9.

Would people please with the CPK and DCA comparison? Central Park is the in the centra (no pun) part of the city on parkland. DCA is the airport.

Was really hoping for DCA to hit 20. I knew even if things worked out, it wouldn't break the 28 inch record as low temp and snowfall records at national are almost impossible given its location. There's still a chance of a couple more inches though. Maybe 17 inches? That's not bad.

DCA will surpass 20".....and then some...

If I find a way to get up there - your snow removal problem is solved. Period.
