Looking at radar and it looks as if I will have another one roll in shortly. Picked up another .6" in about 30-35 minutes with the second squall. Neat little storm as it was predominately popcorn snow and only towards the tail end did we see it flip over to fluffy dime sized flakes. 28 minutes ago, HighStakes said: That could be too low. I'm going with 2 here. I am thinking you are right especially when I see the totals some have gotten around me. Caught me by surprise so I really didn't have a chance to set up an area for measuring. Just hate claiming something I can't verify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I left the FD around 4:30 31 was fine. We had some weird freezing fog until around 1am and it just slicked everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A respectable 5.25” west of Minster with a fresh half inch from the squall that just moved through. Interested to see how much more a few of us could tack on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get an official measurement but easily 2.5-3" at about 530' in New Market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UHI area (Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church) is on two-hour delays. Went back and forth from home to the Virginia Square area this morning. Striking how much of a winter wonderland it looks like once you get west of EFC metro vs down by Ballston and the interior Arlington Orange Line.

Got off the train at L’Enfant this morning to nothing but bare ground. I wasn’t surprised at all, but it’s shocking to see the difference between there and home.

I had 90 minute ride to my service call in Harford County early this morning that I was late for because I didnt want to miss the squalls lol. But this was taken at a old baseball buddy of mines house not far from me on Motter rd. https://imgur.com/gallery/NDwYAoj That’s definitely 3”/hr stuff. I had to pull into someone’s drive off Bachman’s mill when I journeyed to the squall. Was driving down as the visibility began to drop, then snow from a tree came and must have covered the entire car. Car went sliding and luckily 10 seconds later when I could see again I found myself on the opposite side of 97. Let’s be thankful no one was coming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
