I live between BWI and Annapolis, so looks like about 27 inches here…

Officials of the National Weather Service confirmed Saturday night that the storm had deposited 29.2 inches at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport ? making it the worst winter storm on record for the Baltimore area.
By 6:30 the city had at least 24 inches of snow, Wardlaw said.
Officials will decide on Sunday whether county and city government offices will open Monday.
Apparently they screwed up the measuring at DCA. Time for a redo.
18 inches here in SW DC. I had to measure over the span of a couple of blocks and multiple times due to snow drifts.
bets on how long schools will be closed
I'm saying Wed. But have heard we might get an inch on Tuesday…so that could throw my estimate off

Ugh - really? I thought Tuesday was gonna be 40+ and rain.
As far as schools go I'm curious what the universities will do since many students are stuck at home (many out of state).
As far as work goes…..I hope the Feds are either closed or allow unscheduled telework as my company follows their lead.

Sometime after Wed. for Fairfax County. After Wednesday they will have enough snow days in the bank to be able to apply for the state waiver to start school a week early next year.

No, not really. 40+ with a chance of rain sounds right.

i spent the blizzard in NYC with the family. we had a nice hotel with a decent beer bar that stayed open throughout (had my fill of delirium tremens, lagunitas IPA and two roads honeyspot white ipa - all on draft). spent all day saturday running around a grade school with my toddlers - with so many toys, there was no way to NOT have a blast. made it home yesterday on only the second Amtrak to leave NYC, after dozens had been cancelled. by dumb luck we had tickets for that exact train. several hundreds trying to get on it. penn station was a mess. took me and the missus a little over an hour to dig out the driveway and get the car off the street. working from home today. the end.
