Not sure if that is sleet or bright-banding from incredibly snow, but that is an interesting line on radar just north of Roanoke back to Blacksburg.

Was looking at that earlier. Scared to flirt with it but I kind of need to know..

Well, I have found out for you. It is snowing half-dollar AND LARGER sized parachutes here in last 5-10 minutes. Incredible. The 2 pm measurement is 10 on the dot on the uncleared snowboard. I cleared at 1 pm the other, 1.8 inches on it.

Mini flakes have arrived.

First flakes falling here in Salisbury on the Eastern shore.........going to be close for us as to see how long we can fight off the warm nose.

For those worried about the short-term models, 18z HRRR and RAP both increased precip around DC.

Just starting to see the grass cave.  Mod snow now.  Some wind and temps in the 20s would have been fun.

Flurries in Towson. 

[PrinceFrederickWx]

37 and snowing fat flakes, but too warm to accumulate so far.

[WxUSAF]

Light snow starting in Columbia as I get home since work closed early. Telework cancel uncancel

[LeesburgWx]

Light to mod snow. Ground giving way and turning white now

[87storms]

Just pixie dust here, though I would classify it as steady.  Can still see the Catoctin's, but visibility is lowering.

[Miss Pixee]

Business is picking up. Big chunky flakes falling steadily. Temp down a degree in the last 20 minutes or so.

33/26DP
