Latest snow for the DC MD VA region!

[weezie]

OK folks, whatcha got?

I'm toughing it out with only one gallon of milk (but plenty of beer) how much snow will you be shoveling?

Looking for more than six inches in MoCo. Just a starry sky, now, though.

I've moved my car, just in case it starts early; on snow days, our street gets closed - and not plowed - for sledding.

Super cool!

We just put new tires on our Audi Q5. Not dedicated snows, but at least they are premium all-seasons with full tread.

I'll be home with our daughter tomorrow, but my wife will be driving to and from her office.

Super cool!

Yeah, it's cool. Until it's time to bring the groceries in. Or get the trash picked up.

It can be a pain. But in balance, it's more cool.

Glad we're going to the NC coast for the weekend. Let's see if we get our "around one inch" here in the Triangle and have schools cancelled for a couple days because it's cold (high of 30 on Wednesday) .

[HaveFunExpectToWin]

A few inches so far in Ashburn, just started to really stick to the roads a bit ago. Glad I'm working remotely today.

We have about 3 or 4 inches and a dozen intrepid sledders.

Here in Dupont, we have about an inch...we are apparently this snowstorm's teflon, as we have been the past 3 years. :-(

[Olympic Fan]

I live five miles from Duke and I saw nothing today (we were predicted to get a 1/2 inch dusting).

Did see where East Rutherford, NJ -- site of the Super Bowl in 12 days -- is getting socked with 7-10 inches and single digit temperatures.

Your area isn't likely to see snow until perhaps 7P this evening if suitable conditions hold up. Around the western edge of the Piedmont, we're just beginning to have some wet snow mixed with rain as the temperature drops.

[Bob Green]

Wet snow started falling in Tidewater around 6 pm but it isn't sticking on the roads yet. Predictions say we will see 3" to 5" overnight as the snow/rain mix turns to snow. I have a three hour delay reporting to work tomorrow morning.

Out in the VA boonies, we've only got about 4" but it's icy as all get out.

Now just waiting for the power to go out as the freeze deepens...

The deep cold tonight is going to be the big problem for many. Taking precautions to keep pipes from freezing tonight... so far, so good.

[YmoBeThere]

No snow here in south central Texas. Oh, no one asked about us. Sorry.

Six inches - enough for no school tomorrow, and a lot of sledding! Albeit cold sledding...

No snow fell, but we've been below zero for two days straight and will not get above zero until Friday afternoon.
-18 right now, time to walk the dogs...most invigorating!

This weather keeps out the riff raff...

Just as long as it doesn't keep out the essentials like milk, juice, TP and beer.

Makes the hot cocoa afterwards that much better...and dad's relaxing scotch. Plus those little sweethearts just collapse at bedtime!
