We had a little snowpocalypse false alarm around 10:15 a.m. this morning in parts of downtown D.C. and Northern Virginia. A dark cloud passed overhead that deposited some big fat flakes, and then promptly moved on, bringing back sunny skies that have probably already melted most of what touched the ground. Flickr contributor Angela Kleis was kind enough to run out and snap a shot of some flakes outside her office in Manassas before they disappeared.
I'm a well-known winter weather crank, but this two full days of nonstop cold rain and then 20 minutes of flurries business is lame. And it's looking like more of the same on Saturday. Can't we even get seasonal weather right in this town?
Let us know if you saw flurries earlier, and where.

I can report that approximately 5,000 flurry flakes swirled tantalizingly outside my window (14th and Constitution), almost prompting me to skedaddle deliriously out into them. Last time I did that, I was staring at the sky not the ground where an evil patch of ice lay in wait. I tumbled to the ground, twisted my ankle, and gave the security guards at my building a good laugh. So I stayed inside. Did I miss my one shot of standing in snow flakes for the season?
Oh, thank god! I read the headline and thought dcists were committing suicide over the impending innauguration driving hellscape.
No, no, DCists rarely commit suicide that far in advance. The urge to hurl oneself off a structure of substantial height will strike suddenly when the traffic gridlock and claustrophobia brought on by being trapped with 9.8 million tourists in a veritable inaugur-bubble become immediately apparent.
Snow in Penn Quarter around 10:20am.
I'm underground with no windows. I missed it. Thanks for sharing.
we had some in old town. i almost cried.
I hate snow. But being that we haven't had a substantial snow in years, I actually really miss it. Go figure.
had a decent amount swirling outside the windows here at 16th and M. then it was all gone. sniff...
