The much-hyped big east coast snowstorm/snow-pocalypse arrived late yesterday afternoon, and parts of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland have already picked up over 24" of snow -- According to official NWS reports, the highest total so far is from Howard County in central Maryland MD, where the town of Elkridge has already received 30"! This county is right between Baltimore (20" including thundersnow) and Washington, DC. Chevy Chase, MD, which is right outside the DC City limits, is officially reporting 15", with the Dulles International Airport area at 20" and Leesburg, VA at 25." Further west, Keyser, West Virginia has reported in with 25", with parts of Washington, Allegany and Garrett County Maryland reporting similar amounts -- and it is still snowing, with another 8-10" possible through the end of today! Above are some photos from Grantsville, MD., in Garrett County, where city streets are blocked by heavy snow and the main highway through town, Rt. 40, is reduced to one lane! Stay tuned for later updates -- John Esterheld of team TwisterData flew into Washington, DC just before the storm hit so he could experience what could he a historic snowfall from his native northern Virginia, and he should be providing footage at some point!

We had about 28 inches in Cinnaminson NJ, just outside of Philly. That's the 2nd 2 foot snowstorm of the winter!! I can't remember the last time that's happened here. And now another big snowstorm coming Tuesday night???
