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.
