Night and Day here around Baltimore... I drove home from DC with just wet road and a trace of snow (never got below 34)... Got off my exit of the Baltimore Beltway (Perring Parkway)... and all of a sudden grass complete covered.  Got home... Temp was 31 with 2 inches of snow on the ground  including the driveway.

My family says 1.75” in NW Arlington. Made them check the car and grass. Can anyone else confirm? Seems high, but usually they measure low.

If it helps I'm at 2.1" in McLean. Was a tad hard to measure due to the giant snowflakes, but that seemed about correct if not a bit conservative. Picked up .9" with the last batch

I didn't measure, but I drove up to Minor's Hill near the Williamsburg Shopping Center and it was a winter wonderland, sidewalks and side streets totally covered while around Cherrydale they were just wet. That's the highest point in Arlington (460 ft). If you live around there 1.5 or 1.75 seems reasonable. Very elevation dependent storm as others have said.


Howdy neighbor. That’s my neighborhood, thanks for the confirmation.

I live over in Westover and I certainly don’t have an inch.  Maybe .75 on the railings.

Identical but considering we probably live less than 5 miles from each other we should be the same. Lol. One thing that is undeniably positive about this winter is the few events we've had have met or exceeded expectation. That counts cuz the MA is usually the land of disappointment 

Yeah , i probably lost half inch or so from melting when it first started. But like you said, another ‘event” we could actually measure.

Jan has been a win in my book. Now we just need to close strong in Feb.  I still have a feeling were getting another warning event. And maybe just maybe we get a big boy if the advertised  -NAO. verifies.
