Just clicked aroud wx stations at and offshore of VA beach. Forecast was SE shifting to E late. Already due east. Is this significant? Dont know yet but it's certainly not a bad thing. What's going on down there has a bearing on what happens this afternoon with the waa snows. Won't be surprised if radar starts lighting up in these parts again shortly.

Dark echos to the south, east and north of the immediate metro. Sounds about right. WAA is better to the south. Miss the coastal to the north.  There has go to be something to why the immediate metro seems to suck at maximizing dynamics in  any circumstance.

Anyway, Was just out in the Arcola, Georgia ave, Kemp mill road university blvd area. Barely an event on the roads. Spittting pixie dust now. Barely needed the wipers.

I think the Richmond area is going to beat the DC area if the costal misses.

Yup.  Multiple 4-5 inch amounts down there.  Places that have had more snow than DC:  Richmond, Virginia Beach (LOL), Louisiana, central North Carolina, Madrid Spain

Very light snow and just under 2" on the ground.  Looks to be over.  Starting to fill out paperwork for the Panic Room

It might be called Miller B climo.

Meanwhile, DC declared a “snow emergency” and is towing cars from snow routes, which will cost lots of unsuspecting people $375.

Yeah I guess those of us who have been in the game a while knew that whatever the models spit out, a transfer is always dicey for us.  That’s why I’m glad at least it’s white outside and my kids are having a blast. 

I'm finding it tough to see any grass blades. That's a big win - and it's not a slushy mess like the last event. That was the nasty water logged slush. This stuff is nice powder. Certainly not the event that could have been, though. 

Curious to see if the lull area can fill in a bit.

Is it a coincidence that your yard conditions closely match your default posting vibe?

Getting ready to take the puppies out again...still holding to my old rule once the snow starts stop looking at the radar...it takes too much joy out of what's falling. 

Tricky rule haha. What qualifies as snow? I’ve got flakes but not much. I think we’re going to fill in soon though. It’s going to be a very interesting event!
