Interesting reports and pictures, but could ya'll please tell us where you are when you give snow reports?

Here in Northern Virginia, we already had several inches on the ground before this all started, but the roads were clear. So far we've had well over 10 inches with this storm, coming down about an inch an hour, with "heavy" snow expected lated today. Current temp is 14 degrees; 0 degree windchill. Not enough wind to be a blizzard.

Currently, "Through the noon hour...expect heavy snow possibly mixed briefly with sleet. Accumulation rates of 1 to 1.5 inches per hour will continue. Some areas could experience thundersnow where accumulation rates could briefly reach 2 inches per hour." Snowfall totals of a foot and a half to two feet are expected.

D.C. Mayor Williams is in Puerto Rico – where the weather was in the 80s yesterday afternoon.

The forecasters around here have been predicting this one for days, so everyone has had plenty of time to stock up on milk, bread, toilet paper, videos, library books, etc. As long as the power and gas stay on, no problems. All three airports are closed.

The unofficial snow record, by the way, was the "Washington-Jefferson" storm. Both of them recorded 36 inches of snow in their diaries.
