I'm convinced that George BM sits up at night on the last day of the month, just waiting for the clock to strike midnight so he can hit "Submit Reply" on his monthly pre-prepared posts.

Thought crossed my mind as well. That is true dedication to the cause. Whatever that cause is.

NWS should change its rain forecast today to 20 percent chance of a passing sprinkle this morning, 40 percent chance of a passing shower this afternoon, 40 percent chance of a passing sprinkle tonight. Becoming breezy after midnight, a few gusts to 25 mph.

Damn I'm good. I should of been a weather forecaster.

Maryland has steady rainfall. South Virginia has had steady rainfall for HOURS.

In every storm, Dale City always comes in DEAD LAST with precip. Does not matter whether it is snow, sleet, rain or hail.

Dale City always comes in DEAD LAST. Always has. Always will. Its our special place in the world. Dead last.

Even communities well to our EAST, with a storm coming from the west, will have steady rain long before Dale City sees its first drop.

 

EDIT: Wait! Dale City has drizzle as of 950am! There's hope after all for today! I might get my rain after all!

For some reason, radar does not cover eastern Prince William where I live very well. I am not sure why. This is yet another reason to go outside and take current weather obs in the field ,lol.

We are finally receiving some steady light rain, much to my utter delight!

This excerpt is from the most recent AFD:

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Low pressure will pass by to the north tonight and then rapidly
intensify off the New England Coast Friday. Rain ahead of a warm
front associated with the low will continue this evening across
northern and eastern portions of the CWA before tapering off
overnight. Upslope snow showers will develop this evening along
and west of the Allegheny Front and continue through late
tonight. Strong winds will develop overnight as the low pressure
system begins to rapidly intensify. Despite unfavorable times
for mixing...the cold advection and sharp pressure rises should
be enough. Wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph are expected overnight.
High Wind Warnings are in effect for much of the area. The
strong winds will continue for Friday as well with the low
pressure rapidly intensifying. Frequent gusts around 50 to 60
mph are expected. High Wind Warnings remain in effect for much
of the area. For northeastern Maryland, the High Wind Watch
remains in effect for late tonight into Friday evening.
Confidence in the wind field strengthening aloft is a bit lower
across these areas. Will take a closer look at some 12z guidance
before deciding whether or not to upgrade.

Wrap around rain and snow showers are possible across most of
Maryland as well as the Washington and Baltimore Metropolitan
areas Friday morning. Snow may coat the ground in a few spots
but mainly on grassy surfaces given the marginal temperatures
and recently warm conditions. Upslope snow with accumulation
will continue Friday for locations along and west of the
Allegheny Front. Strong winds are expected Friday evening. Winds
may diminish a bit overnight but it still looks like it will be
quite windy since the low will be slow to move away from the New
England Coast.

This is very very very serious for our area, this is potentially a very dangerous situation with regard to trees falling on houses, cars and powerlines.

Second band just a nice as the first. Pretty wild the sun came out between both bands and melted just about all of the snow from the first band in 15 minutes.

Heavy wind driven snow showers are great!

This is crazy. I literally cant see 75 yards out right now. Crazy HEAVY snow.

I literally just picked up .3 in like 10 minutes. Wild.

Tried to post pictures from my phone. But 1.95 MB cap. Anybody know how to resize images on your phone?

Saw my heaviest snow of the season late this afternoon. Moderate for a good 2 minutes. No joke it was harder than the December event. Fluffy as well. 

I missed it because I was in Jefferson, then missed a black squall there just as it was moving in.

DOUBLE FAIL for me lol

Had a nice little snow shower roll thru around 7 am here, which got the ground white. Looks a LOT better that color, just my personal preference..... anyway, headed north to Highland county for the Maple Festival. Should be a much more solid white up there with all the snow showers last few days. JonJon I knew you had to have around a foot or so, when I get off and on snow showers that coat the ground and melt between rounds from NW that is the classic set up for 'Shoe to you to get dumped on. Hope all have a great weekend!

Yes, we got over 13" the last couple of days.  Hopped on my XC skis right out my front door and went out into the woods this morning for one of the best ski experiences of my life.  Dog loved it, too.  We had some base snow left over from last weeks snow so my skis never got wet or iced up, which is unusual where I went, especially in March.

That's awesome.  I haven't been able to ski on even the golf courses around here for over two years.
