Flipped to sleet in Lynchburg.

Some of the short range models are showing two inches of sleet here. 

Once you get that much sleet, it is going to harden up into a rock-hard glacier. You'll have three choices about how to get around. One, get in the car and spin those tires, maybe even spin round and round right down the road. Or, slither like I did back in 1994, right downhill on your back. Or walk very carefully, like a penguin.

Still waiting in Mountain Lake Park. DP is 8.6. We've had virga for about 90 minutes. Once it finally gets to the surface, I expect it to accumulate quickly.

Should be snowing very soon.  Checking the cameras at the house and its very light snow/flurries.  Should be getting to your elevation shortly.

Yep! Very icy over this way. Had to "shuffle" to move across the parking lot.

Pretty much the same at the top of main street in Blacksburg. Had a nice walk around campus and came back coated in the ice. Going to guess your slightly south position helped with the ever so slightly higher snow amounts.

edit: hope the cats nearby are okay!

Ceiling at DCA is below 10k feet now, so something is definitely falling.

 We're getting there. DCA TDWR is showing under 5000 now. Should start to see reports of flakes from south to north starting with Manassas, Woodbridge etc. soon.

I am surprised you arent snowing there yet. You are out around Deeo Creek right? If so it is snowing well SE of you. 

Yes, I am about 10 miles south of DC lake. I am about a mile away from Broadford Lake. @nj2va is much closer to the lake and about 300 feet higher than me, and it has begun there. Should be any minute. Doing my best to stay awake; at least the Sunday Night NFL game is on.
