Still snow in Royersford. Haven’t measured but looks like at least the 7 to 8” being reported by others. Good storm with very fine snow.

Sleet up to Harrisburg per the Central PA forum. Didn't think that would happen. Nam humiliated all the globals, and probably some mesos too.

My prediction was 8.2 but the next highest guess is pretty far above that.

This is unreal. Only seen this much snow in my life one other time. And never this powdery!!

do you think freezing rain is a threat at all today

Yep, proof for all time that what happens at 750mb is irrelevant to the surface. SWFE are what they are.

Ok yeah it was just weathertap screwing up a couple frames. Back online. Looks like incoming for ORH-PVD

We had some events like this back in 1994 w sleet/freezing rain w temps in the teens in the DMV and heavy snow north of the M/D (I was only 9 at the time so I don’t have a great synoptic memory of it)

What is the best radar to track the sleet line?

Yea its basically a driving rain storm but you don't get wet. Not sure I've ever seen sleet this hard.

A little late measuring - 7.6” at 12:00pm. Pack getting obliterated, depth is struggling to hit 7”.

If anyone recalls, as soon as I saw the setup I became pretty confident of a biggie.

GFS and Euro suggests at least 5-6 nights where subzero temperatures are a possibility in the DMV. Will be fun when these come into range for high res models

shovelling the driveway was like shoveling sand

Paging @mitchnick

Same down this way. Sleet "dust" has blown through our screened porch and it looks like somebody dumped a bag of flour on the floor. Not sure how the big slug of precip is going to break in a few hours. Hoping it's a sandstorm and not zr. So far there are no icicles on anything (which is a big relief)

Glacier level: unheard of here

The Central Park cam at 72nd street you can see the plow go by and within 10 minutes its covered up

7.5" at 12pm Moderate to heavy blowing snow 9F

Gotta love sleet mixing in when it's 12 degrees

I am keeping an eye on that northern extent of the CC in north Franklin County for potential trends this afternoon. Though the heavier reflectivity returns moving through the LSV could keep those north of the turnpike with at least 25% snow mixing in with the sleet. I am getting about a 75% snow (needles and random aggregates) and 25% sleet here.

sleet line visible on the above loop pushing around i-195

The Ai models had a better clue with the strength of the Baja low, but I think as we got closer we got better sampling of the northern stream that was diving over the ridge. Eventually it was obvious the phase was going to happen and suppression was out the window. Friend of mine flew up to Needham to chase, wish I was out near you guys right now. Enjoy .

Yea we have to be here 8-10” sleet has been beating the snow down now last 20 minutes. 14f here now interesting the humidity is ticking down now dropped from 97% to 94% dp 13f. Also see it’s snowing again Ashland Va.
