Over 2 inches now with heavy snow.  I think it snowed 0.5 inches in the last 25 minutes or so.

Just jebwalked with my kid to a local park, dumping here in SE moco.

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…

I think it’s just going to miss us southeast unfortunately, although I think you are in a better spot than me for this one and will make out better. My move out here has not paid off so far lol. Maybe next week!

I’m guessing I can make a run at 4 if it can generally snow like this through midnight.

[TSG]

Snow has taken over again in Charlottesville after about an hour and a half of mixed snow/sleet.

holding steady at 28/27 since 2:30pm, 5mph NNE wind

Confirming 2" per hour snowfall rates in DC -- 1" from 5-5:30.

That’s awesome! Congrats! You guys are getting the goods down there! Enjoy!

[usedtobe]

I've already got 3" and it is still snowing heavily (about an inch an hour).

Do you have an insurance policy on your beer frig?

LOL. Should I? Never of thought of that. What if  the weight of the beers finally snap my shelves!? Meh  I’ll figure it out should it happen. 

 

[H2O]

3"  Just gained 1" in the last hour.  More like 30 min

[jmk]

1" in an hour here too. Radar looks nice just to the south.

I'm waiting until 4" to get my bump troll on.

I think 4 is a lock.  Hope we can make a run at 6

Sun is out NW of Winchester. The disgusting smell of a humongous bust is in the air. 

How we doing?

[pazzo83]

At least 3” here in Tenleytown.  Just picked up my daughter from school - the teachers did not look too pleased to be there.  Heavy snow.

[snowfan]

It’s a beautiful evening.

Assuming you mean bust for folks DC south -- radar looks like best precip is lining up south of a line from Charlottesville to Fredericksburg to far lower southern MD.  I think a lot of people south of DC expecting 6-plus are gonna end up with just a couple inches.  I'm out on this one and hoping for the Feb 20 to March 10 window

Checking back in.  

This was a great call!  Already have a couple inches with more to come.  

[AACOUNTYMD]

at least two inches in Herald Harbor. Just took a quick trip down to the mall area. All  primary and secondary roads have caved  (though I didn't see 97)

My goal is 5" now.  2 more hours of what's coming down now and we get it.  

[Maestrobjwa]

Well, my street has fully caved, at least.

[PWC Split]

6 pm OBS - Starting to pile up now, just under an inch in the last hour. Moderate snow, not getting great flake size, but good rates.

[wawarriors4]

Up to 5.3” as of 6:00 PM

Heavy Snow, 29

[GATECH]

4” at 6pm.  1.5” in the last hour.

[Its a Breeze]

The pic I posted was on the deck. Measured multiple places in the grass and 5.5" so far is the overwhelming consensus.

[arlwx12]

WTOP just had a guy on claiming there was 3" in the area of Lake Barcroft (west of Bailey's Crossroads).

Arlington finally DID treat my Hill of Doom near Crystal City, but the snow started accumulating on the road again.

My shrubs and trees have somewhere around 1.5-2 inches.
