Don't do it. 

 

I'll share pictures in just a moment.

 

But there are cars that are stuck on hills. Seriously, saw a car spin out and slide down a hill into another car near Blunt Road.

Did it!  The roads were AWFUL.  I was really surprised.  Even my Outback was slipping a little.  Passed over top of I-270 and it looked baaaaad.

At the intersection of 355 and Father Hurley (Rt 27) there was an SUV with a smashed in front, and a huge plow 50 feet away on the southbound side of 355, facing north.  Those two must have met.  The SUV lost.

The shake was great though!  Switched to heavy sleet for the drive back.  That stuff actually stung against the neck and ears!  Got 3" here in Germantown.  What an event.

Raining now maybe some freezing but that pretty much does it for this event I guess at least here. 

 

Edit:  was a couple miles east towards sterling but in ashburn back at the house there’s still pingers lol. Precip still has a whiteish look to it trying to be snow.

Trees bending and branches coming down in Snowshoe.

Hey! I lived in Mace and Hillsboro for a few years back at the beginning of the 2010's when I worked as a social worker and community organizer with Americorps VISTA.  Back in DC teaching now, but I wager I know half of the employees there (at Snowshoe).  Weather is insane out there, was there for Hurricane Sandy and the Derecho lost power for an ungodly amount of time.  Keep the obs coming!

Whole other world up here!  Elevation is key but not for this storm.  Too much warm air right above me!

Howard County got shafted. Maybe 1-2". Did we get stuck between bands? Warm air coming off of the bay? We had periods of moderate snow but it just didn't seem to want to pile up.

Yep. I know Elkridge/BWI area kept missing the bands. Most of them seemed to be Ellicott City and west. 

Looks like a mostly rain with a little sleet mix now, and it doesn't look like freezing rain either.

Yeah we did a bit.  PG/AA/HoCo/Balt City missed out a bit.  Best action was definitely in NoVA and jackpotville.  

 

Was all rain when I left Greenbelt to drive home, but still largely sleet at home in Columbia.  Roads in my neighborhood are a mess.
