More very heavy snow, but now the winds have kicked up - gusts to 37mph, sustained 25 to 33mph.

 

More icy snow mixing with the dendrites. But no sign of sleet yet. CC is showing the sleet mix line just barely south of me. HRRR is indicating the mixing line will shift east of me before it reaches my latitude, and the last couple frames of the CC are showing that happening.

Just went out for a measurement.  There are snow drifts all over.  Took measurements on top of my car in a relative save zone from the wind and there was 12" on top.  Some other random measurements ranged between 10" and 13".  I think it's safe to say Herndon has at least 12" and it is still dumping.  The bands are dying down by the time they get here, but they're still impressive.

 

I wonder if the LWX radar messes with some of my returns?

I don't know if I can believe the hrrr and rap but they both dump another 20"+ on top of 1am totals for many of us. And it's still snowing at the ends of the runs. Zero dryslot worries west of the bay as well.

 

I'm just a weenie but that sounds awesome.
