back edge getting close here. But still dumping. Well Over 4 inches here. Will measure when it is done. 

[Demeter]

Finally flipped to fatties here in Spotsy. Just happy it wasn’t a complete wash.

It’s about over in Loudoun

Think 2” still could happen for parts of the immediate metro area…maybe?

I’m trying for 2” so maybe the NW suburbs. In the city, not so sure. BWI might get it

Same here. Wife’s dad put damn near a resort pool in his yard last year, saved me from ever needing one. He said he did it for the grandkids. It’s the hangout spot in the summer now being only 15 mins from us.

Pools and boats, best owned by people you know and not yourself!

Awesome snow growth for this one up here to maximize on QPF

Warning = verified

Never started here.   I've just stayed off the board.  No need to bitch post about it.  Let folks enjoy what you got.   I'm not even pissed because of our team.

A lot of winter left.

Final band moving through with probably the heaviest snow I’ve seen in the past several years.  Visibility 1/8 mile at most.

I'd think if the heavier bands continue maybe we could make a run of it...

[IUsedToHateCold]

Heavy bursts of sleet with snow mixed in. Temperature now at 32.7. Winds have picked up so I suspect the front has come through. Roads are going to be an ice rink soon 

[TSSN+]

Getting absolutely raked right now. Just about 4” and some of the heaviest rates of the storm. It’s down to 25.

A warmup looks likely next month. The scale has been getting walked back the past few days though.

[aldie 22]

It's a whiteout

[Terpeast]

Going to take my daughter outside. This is what we live for

[Weather Will]

Close to 5 inches, 30 degrees.  Another hour to go maybe. Heavier, wetter snow.

[deer]

snowing!

I confirm.

[bncho]

3" per hour rates.
Can I get that for one hour?

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

It’s funny that the RGEM had the right idea and then gave up on it at the last minute. 

[aldie 22]

This is like the February 2010 ULL pass just absolutely destroying and blinding

[Eskimo Joe]

Haven't seen rates this good in years. Probably since Valentine's Day 2014. Hoping to eek out 4". Temp down to 30°.

Not a single snowflake

I feel it's closer to 2/10/10 when that u/l low passed to our south. Wind and Sn+ for hours and hours. This won't last as long, of course.

[PWC Split]

Pretty while it lasts but it looks like back edge is less than an hour away, unless we can get some sort of pivot - not sure that was forecasted though. At least we have added at least an inch on to the seasonal total!
