8.8" so far and the upslope is still rocking. Temp down to 19.4 but fortunately the winds are still behaving.

That IS gorgeous...OMG, all of the tree stickage! Love that in these types of storms...   

Me toooooo! Just stunning when every branch is perfectly painted.

Do these just fall under the WSW or will they get snow squall warnings? Assuming it's just part of the WSW since it's already in effect for snow.

Enjoy these last snow bands while you can... last heavy snow we're likely going to see until mid-Feb

And go outside and be in it! Because it's going to melt next week.

This line from SC PA down to Leesburg means business. Have to be some 1-2 inch an hour rates in there. Best snow of the day here on the M/D.

Streamer band was fun as it came through leesburg! Shoveled the driveway right before and it looks like that band added a quick 1/4"

[D-Train]

Pouring snow in South Leesburg (just off Rwy 30 at Dulles). Should i call it the “Southern Airways” effect?

#toosoon?

The sun is peeking out, very picturesque late afternoon view but it's basically snow TV.

4" on the dot.

Just had a streamer roll through. It was puking fatties and the winds really picked up. It was near white out conditions at times. The sides of my back yard are lined with cypress trees and about 90% of the snow on them blew off in the gusts. It only lasted a few minutes but wow that was fun!

[WEATHER53]

Snow shower approaching Frederick is intensifying.

Light rates and sun through clouds. If you wanted it to stick around you shouldn't have shoveled  

OR pile snow on the sidewalk. Oh the times neighbors stared at me back in the 1980s. NO ONE is as obsessed, and stands in need of serious anti snow intervention, as I. lmao

[LeesburgWx]

During the band I was in. Tried to capture it the best I could but you get the idea. Back to light snow now but still falling.

Been a while since I've seen that phrase!

Just wow. Very exuberantly elated at all the snow you are getting to enjoy. All of this is merely appetizers for Feb and March. Better watch out for that reload! Get those shovels and snowblowers ready!

Getting streamer’d. Stat padding in progress.

You will need to take care of this first.

yup. not exactly a bust but we've had almost none of what a bunch of the forum has experienced. 

Eh. Snow on snow. Been a fun week 

[WEATHER53]

Tomorrow the Great Blizzard of 1966  was underway.. 30moh winds gusting over 40 produced greatest drifting by far I have ever experienced. 
Consistent 4-6’ drifts everywhere.

Beach cams look great.  Seems like its coming down pretty good over there.

Yes this is legitimately moderate.

[RickinBaltimore]

Unless we get another round, looks like we are done here. Sun trying to peek out a bit.

[vastateofmind]

Radar appears to be getting ready to "streamer" us...and yes, light snow has once more kicked in. 33 degrees.

[osfan24]

Streamers look awesome. Hoping they slide a bit east to hit Hoco.

[jmk]

Band came through, definitely brought moderate snow and increased winds, but it passed quickly. Love seeing another line up right behind it! CLeared the car and the driveway and we'll see with the sun setting if we can get anymore on top. 

[das]

Here they come. I’m a little disappointed to be heading to the airport. 

[hstorm]

Getting squally here in Great Falls. 

[BTRWx's Thanks Giving]

I like what's setting up from lwx aimed right at mby!
