Snow increasing. Expect deteriorating conditions into this evening.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/01/13/dc-area-forecast-snow-continues-accumulate-today-chilly-through-midweek/?utm_term=.c5048b279799

Overview
About 4.5 to 7.5 inches of snow have accumulated since Saturday afternoon. This is the biggest snow in Washington since January 2016 (officially 5.4 inches at Reagan National through 1 p.m.).
There’s the potential for an additional 1 to 2 inches through this evening with perhaps a few locally heavier pockets - mainly from the District south. Road conditions are likely to deteriorate.
Storm totals should range from 5 to 10 inches with the highest amounts just south of town. The snow should end between 8 p.m. and midnight.
The unofficial name for this storm is #Snurlough - based on the recommendation of reader Phil Yabut.

Our first snows start in September and just keep on keeping on - and the newbies to the area, usually military, suffer for lack of instruction on how to drive in it. You can count on 14 out of 15 cars/trucks in the ditches on the highways having military stickers in the window.

And always stop to help someone stranded if you can. Even if it's only to help them walk to somewhere warm.

Stay safe! We'll worry about you.
