I was surprised when NYC got there in 2016 - it took basically the perfect flow of cold air down the Hudson. For DC, all the snow around will help. But I will still be shocked if we get there.

you can track the plows here https://citizeninsights.geotab.com/#/dcsnowgov

how are folks' streets? We got plows all day so our streets are actually pretty clear (we live on a street corner)

next thing to look for this week - does DC get below zero for the first time in 32 years?

it's been a LONG time since we had a precip producer like this.

a bonafide wintery mix for you!

Yeah - I'm at 6-7" of snow followed by 3-4" of sleet. This is going to stick around for a long long time.

yea you are right - it was more like that

not sure how other folks in the DMV are doing, but DC so far seems to have done a pretty good job with its "snow team". Every street in our neighborhood has seen a plow at least once.

it also easily falls off non-flat surfaces (a roof, tops of cars, etc) so it piles up in those spots a ton

it almost kind of feels like man-made snow at a ski resort

as someone who remembers the several inches of sleet we got in PD2 in C'ville - this shit is not gonna melt for a long time. So that is the one plus side of sleet. The water content is much higher than snow lol.

see if we can hold it

DFW reporting "heavy ice pellets" - not sure I've seen that one

low of 8.6F here, DCA at 10F. Dewpoint got down to -13F (almost certainly the lowest since I've lived here). Right now 10/-11., Going to take a while to saturate that column lol
