Just came in here to say this. It is a legit light snow that’s accumulating on everything. Radar looks great for this early. It’s beautiful out 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Think I’ve reached an inch, or will soon. Light snow 27/24. Sidewalks are gone, road is stubborn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just not doing much here. Radar keeps showing very light returns to my SW. I know I'm being impatient but just stinks to have hours of snow, no accums and people already reporting SN and roads pummeled. Guess the silver lining is that it IS snowing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to compare DC metro snow with people out in Frederick you're gonna have a bad time. We'll get our couple of inches once the sun goes down and it'll be fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t started accumulating again on paved surfaces here either. Finally starting to show again on my car after I cleaned it off earlier around 11.

MillvilleWx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Btw, we picked up my wife’s car from dealership after getting some work done down in Gaithersburg off Watkins Mill. She had 1” on her car pretty easily when we got it (Body shop so was sitting in the lot). I think MoCo up through Howard and Carroll/Baltimore Co’s should do well with this one. Baltimore and Carroll will get theirs later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight should be beautiful out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I thought sun angle was just a meme, but it’s real. Beautiful scenery, zero work productivityFar as the roads go, yeah. Think we might be very slowly stacking it up on the grass. Decent rates in the little green band parked over Arlington at the moment. Think we’ll need to wait til later to really get going, though the consistent snow now is a nice surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right in line with NAM's timing thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCAlexandria Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It’s honestly hard to tell. Many of the globals seem to blossom more precip over us from the coastal, so it’s hard to gauge when it ends by just looking at the back edge on the radar. Hoping it snows through 12z tomorrow. Imagine believing the HRRR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bar is Connecticut Ave The real trick is to walk towards Cathedral Heights where all the roads cave and you can pretend the DC heat pump doesn't exist. Plus the church is pretty in the snow.

This is all just bonus scenery snow. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
