Not too far from me, I probably have 'slight' elevation on you, but not much.  We got hammered from pretty much 3pm to about now. Seems to be finishing up. 

That area as you get toward Jefferson is a classic, localized jackpot zone in a lot of coastal storms.  Doesn't surprise me that you over performed.

I happened to check radar back at like 4:45 just before that big band moved into Loudoun, in time for my 3 year old and me to get our snow gear on and head out with the sled. Ended up sledding in mod/heavy snow for 1.5 hours and had a blast. 

Certainly a surprise and puts this storm in a much more positive light. Using the NWS accepted and highly accurate eyeball it method, looks like we picked up a quick 1.5 - 2 inches.

It’s going to get downright filthy next weekend into early next week. Snow followed by teens for highs, single digits to 0 for lows. 

You with the dirty talk.  Just hoping not to get back ended.  That is way too painful.

Today was fairly wintry this afternoon but quite underwhelming. I think a lot of places ended up getting less than expected.

Yeah. I know people dont wanna hear my snow problems but it wasn’t even very wintry on the east side here. Very light snow for an hour or 2. Slightly heavier for like 15 mins around like 4pm. No additional accumulations around these parts. Got actually more rain this morning than any snow this afternoon

In central MD, for sure. That’s why they dropped the Warning for a 1” advisory (except for the northern tier) 

That’s MD climo during a Miller b - especially one that doesn’t phase early.  A difference of 30 miles means 10” versus 3-4”. Hell, less than 30 miles meant 20” for my son, with half of that here. 
 

No worries my friend. Miller A’s are down the pipeline - and the i-95 / I-29 corridor will get its jackpot storm.

3.6" total on the event. 2.5" with the initial WAA thump, as well as 1.1" so far today (not counting the massive sheet of ice I had to deal with when clearing my board, when did that happen?? Maybe like a quarter of an inch of solid ice). Pristine winter day out there. Hoping the ice preserves the snowpack until our polar blast next week. Also got to enjoy the snow with my German Shepherd. He honestly might be a bigger snow weenie than I am lol. Glad peeps in N Maryland cashed out big from this, you guys deserved it!! Hoping this is just the start of a memorable February :snowing:

No complaints here. Looks and feels like winter for the past 4 days and more on the way. Best stretch in forever it seems.

Agree.  This was fun.  Looks awesome.  The funny thing is once the grass is totally covered and most of the roads hard to tell if it’s 4 inches or 14.  Most of us were frenzied, me included, over shades of color on snow maps.  Will try not to do that again and just enjoy it....I said try
