It's a snownami..I can't see anything, lol.
Approaching 10".
Post some more pictures as it goes, and try and include some reference objects or a ruler or something if you can. When we had our 18.5" storm last month it was basically impossible to tell how deep it was without a yard stick. I am sure you know what I mean.

The wind makes it difficult to measure. Need to take at least a dozen more measurements.

The thunders now is a big extra. I've only experienced it 2 or 3 times in Texas but it's always cool to have lightning and thunder when it's pouring down. Keep those images coming. You'll have to grab one with yourself knee deep in the stuff.

Kevin, nice picture and videos. Were those cars in the videos stalled out on the street?
This is just crazy down by Baltimore and DC, heard that band could be sitting there another 4 hours.

Heaviest snow and strongest winds of the storm here. Snow creeping up to the kitchen window.
Get a picture of that for sure.
Snow is backing into your area from the northeast now. DCA up around 22". So you're in the #2 spot officially.

Not my pic but I saw it on facebook. This car was completely buried by drifts and the snow plow driver didn't even see it. May have been the first but certainly wont be the last tonight and tomorrow.

Snow began at ~1pm yesterday, and should persist until at least 11pm tonight, so that'd make this at least a 34hr storm. That's the longest snowstorm I've observed in my young life, to this point at least.

Finishing up here, total is approximately 3 feet, give or take a few inches.

I can imagine that won't be the only case tonight into tomorrow. I've seen cars totally buried over before. Can easily mistake it for a drift or a just a pile of snow that's been snowed on some more.

Just parked cars... it'll take them 12 hours of shoveling to get out.
25.1" officially at Central Park as of 7pm... expecting an update at midnight and will be a close call if we break the all time record of 26.9".

Omg, Kevin! I was thinking of you last week wondering where the old gang was? What have you ended up doing ? And what do you think of this economic outlook. PM me.
I'm writing a lot. Long story. Should publish this late summer, and bored senseless with the winter were having in the So. central Plains.
