It is supposed to start snowing again this afternoon. This is a break (but, yes, I already shoveled.)

Skip the salt. Use sand if you need to lay down something. In this area, any and all salt will wash into the Potomac and then the Bay, leading to blooms and then dead spots.

Sorry, I use "pet-safe" salt, and I'm pregnant with a sled dog who pulls like crazy. I will put myself first this winter, so I don't lose the baby if the dog makes me fall on the ice that will accumulate if I don't salt my walkway.

I'm in Bethesda, and although I haven't gone out with a ruler, it sure looks like 6 inches already, and coming down harder than ever. It's going to snow intermittently, and sometimes hard, throughout the day. I have no idea what some of you are talking about.

Jay’s Wintry Mix says 2 more inches total today. But he’s VA based and so am I.

I shoveled early and will again. Shoveling is bad for the back so not letting it get deep is my plan.

No salt, no ice melt! Terrible for pets, environment, and your concrete.

I’m in Arlington and just came in. I probably have 5-6 inches now, and it’s icy at the bottom. I just did a first pass and will send teenager out later to do the rest. I will likely do one more pass which shouldn’t be that much before going to bed. You want to shovel today because this is wet enough and it’s going to be cold enough that once this freezes over, you can’t move it.

Where are you located? We have six inches already.

And will get at most 2 more this evening. Not the 10-12 people were salivating over.

The range was like 6-10. We are in that range. Not a bust at all, you just want to be contraire. It's not a good look.

+1 and still snowing steadily.

Accumulation is basically done until late afternoon/evening. So it’s whatever you have now plus 1-2 more inches max by tonight. We aren’t getting anywhere near a foot.

No, do it today -- ideally now. It's already getting heavy.

Tomorrow it will be ice, especially after people walk all over it.

Shovel and then immediately toss some ice melt.
