It will.  Luckily for me I work nights -- my job closed for snow -- and I'm a night owl, so I am staying up all night.  We may not be as young as we were in the past storms, but when you get storms like this... all nighters are required reading

Indeed.  I've been up since 0500am Sun mornning - worked outside most of the day and then on my Kubota to transition it from construction mode (Loader and Backhoe for a retaining wall project) to winter mode - cab, heater and snowblower or blade.  Been a long day but can't quite muster the common sense to go to bed. 

It's really ripping here now at 26F.  FFCO is plowing Lawyers Road already with barely an inch on the asphalt.  Guess if you have a budget and charge codes they have to use it.

Mesoscale Discussion 0019
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0112 AM CST Mon Jan 06 2025

   Areas affected...eastern West Virginia and northern Virginia into
   the DelMarVa

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 060712Z - 061215Z

   SUMMARY...1+ inch per hour snowfall rates are expected early this
   morning.

   DISCUSSION...A band of moderate to heavy snow has developed across
   northern Virginia amid strong isentropic ascent and frontogenesis
   early this morning in response to a strengthening low-level jet.
   Evidence of this can be seen on the FCX VWP where 1.5 km winds have
   strengthened from 50 to 65 knots in the last 90 minutes.   These
   conditions favorable for heavy snowfall are expected to shift east
   through the early morning hours with the expanding low-level jet,
   and heavier snowfall rates expected to impact the DelMarVa within
   the next few hours. Maximum snowfall rates of 1 to 1.5 inches per
   hour are expected.

Putting my sennheiser's on now.  Need a first song for my first jebwalk.  Nothing too emotional.  Something fun but not too over the top.

Got it - Putting on INXS.  Listen like Thieves or Kick.  Enjoy H*ward 

I just rung up Roll Down The Highway by Bachman Turner  in moderate snow!  Thunder rock

It's a classic snow fog look out there. It's a raging snowstorm already here in the AAC lowlands. The grass is pretty much gone, plows are down, and a north breeze is starting to move. I'd say I'm closing in on 2" already. LFG!

You’re about to get a real beatdown

Love to hear it my man! We are solidly racking up the snow here. Haven't measured yet, but got to be pushing towards that 1st inch already. Steady light to moderate snow with heavier echoes starting to push up towards our hoods. Life is good!
