It's snowing!

........kinda.  In the DMV (aka Washington DC area for those uninitiated with the term), the meteorologists tend to pull a Chicken Little whenever there's even a hint of snow.

From what I can tell, depending on the source I look at, we're right on the edge of either getting "some snow" or "some significant snow."

These are, of course, only a few of the predictions (the main local ones, not the national sources).  They appear to be reasonably consistent.  Whether they're right or not remains to be seen.  If they're right, though, with us being right along the I-95 corridor, we should be right around 8"-9" of accumulation.

Having said all that, I've been up since 5:30.  I'd characterize it as being something harder than thick, blowing flurries with no accumulation on any hard surfaces and maybe 1/2" of slush on the grass.  So far, it's looking like another overblown DC snow prediction.
