Unless of course you're a fatty and/or you lift weights, in which case, it's a breakfast of diabetes and liver failure

messes with my gains

imref · « **Reply #154:** January 21, 2014, 01:03:50 PM »

so far a bust in the gainesville area, grass isn't fully covered, not sticking to roads.

Slateman · « **Reply #155:** January 21, 2014, 01:04:40 PM »

Becoming kind of wet here in Oakton

Mathguy · « **Reply #156:** January 21, 2014, 01:04:47 PM »

55 and sunny here in OBX

HalfSmokes · « **Reply #157:** January 21, 2014, 01:08:07 PM »

nothing sticking to the roads here in alexandria

Nathan · « **Reply #158:** January 21, 2014, 01:29:59 PM »

Roads are freaked here. Of course I'm stupid and came to work anyway.

It seems to be worse the farther north you go. Sticking to roads in Montgomery County Maryland, and plowing them does little to keep side roads clear.

Rockville MD at 1:35pm

Seems to be a crust (sleet?) on the snow cover in E. Loudoun.

imref · « **Reply #161:** January 21, 2014, 02:29:41 PM »

CWG says the break line is now I-66, north of it is much worse than south.

road noise must be a pain at night, along with the drunk drivers.

Naw, I just hang out in the cop car. It's cool.

7 inches of snow has fallen in Frederick MD, the most in the area.

The Chief · « **Reply #168:** January 21, 2014, 04:21:10 PM »

Seems like maybe 3-4 inches on the ground here in Kingstowne.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #169:** January 21, 2014, 04:23:12 PM »

Crystal Drive is covered. I'm thinking the airport might top 2".

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #170:** January 21, 2014, 04:24:05 PM »

Interesting. One station just said 1.5 inches in Springfield. Most of them are reducing their snowfall amount forecasts but some seem to be staying with the original. Worst is it will be awful cold next few days.

remind me to wave next time I drive by you at 55 MPH.

not much accumulation out here in western PWC so far, maybe 2", but blowing like crazy and coming down pretty steadily. Shoveling will be kind of pointless. Last I heard we have about 5-6 more hours, so I'd bet we'll end up with 4-5" total.

tomterp · « **Reply #172:** January 21, 2014, 04:41:10 PM »

We're approaching 4" here in the rural backwoods of Oakton. Less on paved surfaces but about 3.5" in lawn areas.

Yeah, we live in Kingstowne and my back has been stiff all week, so I just now went outside and ran the snowblower instead of using a shovel. Much more satisfying anyway. I'm glad it started up since it hadn't been used in at least two years!

Don't push your luck on the old gas thing, do you treat? Ethanol is exceptionally corrosive to fuel systems if allowed to sit. Water starts separating out of it too.
