Nice ! Probably 1" /hour here currently best guess 

Flake size definitely has changed outside of that band.  But, like most storms in their height, the radar doesn't do it justice.  Just ripping smaller flakes now.  Probably the heaviest snow of the event right now.

Just measured a little over 2.5 inches. Gorgeous outside right now.

4.5” on the snow board with more to come.  Between heavier bands at the moment, but still a steady snow falling.

down to 29°.

Wow that's impressive! You're definitely in the jack for this one. Congrats!

Definitely looks like we will meet the WSW criteria. 

Interested to know what the liquid equivalent is when all is said and done.

Finally started legitimately snowing in Charlottesville.....34deg. Expecting a few helium light bands of accumulation. :yikes:

Don’t let that fool you. That back end meant business. Just finished rolling through here. Took about 3 jebwalks. Picked up a quick half inch on elevated surfaces but man it was literally like chunks of paper coming down. GREAT dendrite growth in those darker greens and yellows. Coming through at the right time for you as well, as the night will grow colder. Wind also picking up noticeably on the back end. 
 

Side note: It is going to be WICKED icy here in the morning. Low of 21.

Interested to see that myself.  Have two 4” gauges in different spots in the yard.  I’ll post the LE when it ends.

Agreed.  I honestly was scratching my head on my latest measurement.  1.25" in 45 min.  Don't get me wrong, it is coming down nicely but I have seen heavier snow.
