Fozz Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sometimes it does... this is probably the kind of storm where you can drive up a hill and be surprised. And in case you were wondering, mappy, I measured on the diving board, which I always do unless it's windy enough for the snow to be swept away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Man I-83 and Clarksburg looking nice! I'd love to see what the high point in Damascus looks like. All rain here in NE DC -- wife reports about 2" now in Germantown. Parrs Ridge is looking good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sometimes it does... this is probably the kind of storm where you can drive up a hill and be surprised. Im in a completely different location than you but this is def the case with this storm. I'm at about 300' an have a slushy inch on the ground and clear roads....less than a mile away at 450' looks like close to 2" and roads are snow-covered . just 1 -1.5 degrees make all the difference.

clskinsfan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This storm is going exactly like I said it would for my back yard. Interesting drive from Winchester to Leesburg this morning. Overnight I saw not a single flake at my house n/w of Winchester. The rain had just changed to light snow as I left for work around 7:45. Heading east on route 7. 4 miles from my house it was snowing well. As I approached the Shenandoah river the snow become heavy and was pouring as I crossed over the mountain. The top of the mountain by Mt. Weather has a few inches. All of Loudoun County is in moderate snow right now. Just east of Purcellville the snow turned into golf balls. The snow flakes falling in Leesburg are bigger than golf balls right now. Loudoun is a beautiful winter wonderland. Winchester is a green and brown disaster.

snowfan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Only hope for us easterners is for those bands to the south to swing through. Otherwise, we're about to dry slot. Radar looks good for west of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeblue219 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This looks like a good time to head off to PG for work. Just a very, very light dusting of snow falling at the moment. About a quarter inch on exposed surfaces. Roads and sidewalks are completely clear as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needbiggerboat Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Legit heavy snow. Around 3.5 inches. Conditions are terrible on the roads up here. now that's a proper measuring stick. much better than those hoopdi hand drawn sticks various members leveraged amidst the blizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
