I'm about 10 miles nw of DC and rest assured this is one of the bigger ones I've experienced. also DC will be back in the good bands soon. It's imminent.

I agree. One of the best I've ever seen including 83, vet day, 96, and 2010. It's up there.

Man, hate that dry slot...looks like Ltrain got in it as well. I think the worm is about to turn for everyone in the dry slot. Hopefully can get some mega rates this afternoon and catch up

 

 

I have had like a an inch since 9:30 am. This sucks. That dry slot sits right over me in Alexandria.

16.5 inches maybe.

 

Been waiting for that worm to turn for at least two hours now....as H20 mentioned, this is not an unusual phenomenon for those of us living in the Franconia/Kingstowne/Mt. Vernon areas of SE FfxCo. Can't completely complain...it's been a fine pixie dust falling rather than flat-out lack of snow, but it's still a tad disappointing after seeing some of the model forecasts last couple of days. Still very happy about the 18"-19" I have....hoping to break 24" by midnight.

12:15 update

Extremely heavy snow (heaviest Ive ever seen)

22 degrees

31 inches total accum

10 inches in the last 3 hours and 15 minutes/ 16 inches in last 6 hours and 15 minutes....simply astounding

 

This is the storm of my life. I had 36 inches with PD2. But I have never seen snowfall rates like this for this length of time. It has increased in intensity for the past couple of hours. Truly unbelievable. Some random thoughts on my latest Jebwalk:

 

There are no more cars or mailboxes. They are just mounds of snow in a snow world.

My neighbors 4 foot picket fence looks like its a foot tall.

My bushes and shrubs do not exist anymore.

My neighborhood looks like the arctic.

My full size trash cans look like kitchen trashcans now.

I forgot and left my wheelbarrow outside by my rear fence. I dont know when I will find it again.

My elevated firepits do not exist.

The roof drifts throughout my neighborhood are ridiculous.

For folks stuck under subsidence, I really feel for you.  In the Jan 25, 2000 storm, I got stuck for hours with huge, stationary bands to my east and west.  I even had a few breaks in the clouds while heavy snow was falling 20 miles in either direction!

 

I ended up with seven inches while many places had 14-17" to my west, and of course the near 20" amounts near the Bay.

 

I hope the main band consolidates and eventually passes through your areas.

I have my part of Roland Park area balt city at 19" as of 12:10. The rates since 9:00 am were magnificent. Just went for a very difficult walk through a local school field - 2-3 foot drifts. Slacking off now - probably seeing some of that dry air that has plauged DC area this morning. Second bout with dry slot - had one from around 5-7 am that filled back in.

It's amazing how close the line is to you. I thought I was close to it but it's been heavy snow for the past several hours. And now the radar is filling in for those east of you.
