DC Winter Storm: Live Updates, Photos

Update 1:50 p.m.: Snow is still descending upon the D.C. region, but the show is probably just about over for us as far as accumulation is concerned, CWG said in a video update. The region has gotten a range of about 2-6 inches, with downtown D.C. getting 2-3 inches. Forecasters aren't expecting much more additional accumulation particularly in D.C. and west of the city, but east and northeast toward Baltimore they may see another 1-3 inches.

Update: 11:42 a.m.: The storm continues to rage, and the National Weather Service says we could see up to 8 inches:

Update 11:24 a.m.: A total of 3-4 inches has fallen all around the D.C. region already, and it's still coming down.

Widespread reports of 2-4 inches of snow on the ground already in the DMV. A bit more still to come, especially in eastern areas. More info: https://t.co/SjrdSeanpP pic.twitter.com/H6lkOxYtbb

Update 10:11 a.m.: Snowfall is definitely getting heavier in our region, and that is likely to continue throughout the morning, according to the National Weather Service:

Winter Storm Warning 9 AM Update: Conditions will rapidly deteriorate this morning, especially along and east of the Interstate 95 corridor between Washington and Baltimore. Snowfall rates up to 2" per hour will occur over the next few hours in these areas.

Here's a broader look at what the storm that is on its way looks like:

6:00 AM: A band of heavy snow is lifting northeast that will quickly make travel hazardous. Temperatures are below freezing in most locations, so exercise caution even if precipitation is light. pic.twitter.com/yWoXFqzqYG

Update 8:00 a.m.: Radar models show that the snow is really rolling in now, so expect plenty of accumulation over the next few hours -- as well as hazardous driving conditions.

8:00am: Solid area of precipitation, mainly in the form of snow, now covering the area. Should pick up some good accumulation over the next few hours with this. Roads, even treated ones, could become snow covered especially during heavier bursts. pic.twitter.com/l01Q8iF2Tk

Original story:

If you've woken up this morning and wondered where the snow is, it's coming. Stay tuned to this post for live updates throughout the day of snowfall in the D.C. area.

So far, we're seeing a dusting in the region, but things are starting to pick up, says the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang.

"Per our forecasts yesterday, never expected much before 4-8am," CWG said on Twitter at 6:30 a.m. "So yes this 1st wave of mixed precip is arriving on time. That said we may be looking at low end of our forecast (which was already one of the lowest). Assessing now."
