Snow falling at a decent rate here in Leesburg.

That radar looks like a summertime squall line. I missed it, but it must be pretty good. It put down close to 1.5" here. That's a guesstimate, but the deck rail usually is a pretty good long distance visual measurement tool. I'll be interested to see what it does over your way and on toward DC.

Snow at just about Centreville according to cams. Did you notice that radar as it came through Winchester? I can't believe I missed that.

it does look pretty nice though that may be the main deal, not sure i see the follow up snow showers around here at least
