Ok, so you think that Meso was good for DC.  Definitely homering it right now.

Oh, that Meso was fine for the DC area and NoVA to points east. Anything north of I-70 makes no sense. Hopefully I’m wrong and everyone cashes. I just don’t see 1+”/hr rates further north. Sharp cutoff likely

Moderate (or better) snow falling in Bethesda, paved surfaces getting covered (though roads with all the salt, mostly wet right now).  Visibility getting quite low too.  Maybe ~0.5" or so on the ground currently when I went out several minutes ago.  Took a few photos of the early part of this event, will go out later as well.  I'll post a few sometime later tomorrow when I have a chance.

Bout to make an old fashioned.  Wish I had mint on hand for a different drink....

"Hello, Instacart.  Do you make deliveries in snow?  Ok, great.  I'd like 3 springs of mint and a bottle of simple syrup.  *click*  "Hello?"  "Hello?"  "Operator?"

How about 5 miles south of 70? Lol

I’m cautiously optimistic based on radar that southern HoCo gets in on the northern edge of the heavier bands. Famous last words…

Also sweating it here, but I was thinking there will be a step-down from US50, to MD200, to I-70. Driveways and sidewalks caving in my slice of the UHI, but our hot black streets are holding out.

Sitting on the deck enjoying a Bell’s under my ‘fry light’.  This is why I track…watching the familiar landscape morphs into something different and white, and quiet, so quiet…until the snowplow comes by and the snowblowers crank…but that’s later!image.jpeg.25624db35fccdd2700ae5166b03d00ae.jpeg

The quiet/different quality of sound is the BEST. I like to soak it in, with no music or other distractions.

Flake size has decreased to a normal size one, but boy is it coming down right now! Among the heaviest of the day, I MAY sneak in a 15 or 16 inch total at this rate!

Dude!

Might be a brief lull for the Mason-Dixon counties, but there's more precip in WV and southeast OH. 

That's what I was thinking. And it has more of a sw to ne movement to it. If we're going to get our 2 to 4 which is what most models have been saying, it's going to come a few hours from now.

Yea, it's a cosmetic event up here.  Light snow and wet roads.  This one ain't ours, that's for sure.
