Made it home from the hospital! I was hoping we'd get out of there while it was still snowing, but by the time we got all the paperwork done and the baby in the car, it'd been sleeting for quite a while. Thankfully roads were fine, just snow and sleet packed. Hardest part of the drive was getting up our unshoveled driveway. Speaking of, I'm not too excited about going out to shovel that. Might just wait until tomorrow to get working on it and just relax the rest of today.

Loudoun County used to be the snow capital of NoVA

Not that the NAM is right about anything with this storm but even if it has the snow/sleet line backing down SE again at least temporarily around 7:00 pm.

NAM ticked south with sleet

Just about at Blizzard criteria here, 30mph wind gusts to 35. Visibility 1/4 mile

wasn't that in 2016, right before the big blizzard?

12 inches in fair lawn, still snowing, about 13 degrees now

Mostly sleet in southern Manhattan... pretty heavy.

Scrapple lasagna sounds hideous

1.75"-2" of Snow/Sleet so far here. Waiting on the last batch of heavy precip.

Yeah you missed the good dumping we had overnight up around here, but it wasn't too starkly different. I remember the last time I was at UVA I was visiting my buddy and there was also a massive snow/sleet storm. Cville is good at sleet.

Kinky...

Other then 07, 94 is the only time I recall getting sleet over 3” so this is pretty remarkable

Can't remember the year. But it was real cold. Maybe like 20s. And this weird light snow happened in DC. Maybe like a trace. Roads weren't treated because it wasn't forecast. I recall Ruch hour where it took people like 6 hours to travel just a few miles in DC. It was crazy. Just a light to moderate dry snow for like an hour and there was gridlock.

I’m in W Hartford and just measured the same. It was pretty darn close to 8”

I was just going to ask about it because that would be a jackpot if true. But I’m very skeptical. Is there anyone close to that area who can verify if the snow continued much beyond 10am?

2:47PM Whitehall Twp - Back to mostly heavy sleet with the occasional fine flakes. Definitely seems like we are right on the battlezone.

growing up in CT we always shoveled a path to the grill after every snowstorm and my dad set up an umbrella somehow so he could grill while it was snowing.

Storm stouts. Pats game. Winters of yore. Full nudity .

Occasionally it gets quiet...not for long but Occasionally

I noticed when I was blowing my driveway It definitely seemed like I had more than 6.5" I'm wondering if snow blew off my board after I eventually get a nap I'm gonna go out and take some more measurements from the field.

Temp here is still 16… winds have shifted though from N to NE even ENE.

Need some advice. I shoveled after the snow. Now I have a few inches of sleet. Do you think I should clear that and then do once more later, or just wait until it’s all finished? It’s the risk of freezing rain to end it that idk. The idea of clearing the sidewalk just before the freezing rain turns it into a skating rink sounds awful, but the freezing rain making the sleet brutal to move also sounds bad.

Just got a quick half in of rain the last hour. Temp 40. Still raining. Should be done by 4 here. Windy too, so the roads should dry before we drop below freezing.

Greg Fishel's latest thoughts for the Triangle. At this point, it's hard to imagine a way that we will have a crippling ice storm. The big surprise with this event is the lack of precipitation, especially in light of what even the ensembles were showing just a couple of days ago. There will be one more burst late this afternoon and this evening, and there will likely be some ice buildup on trees and power lines. But will it be enough to make the lights go out everywhere? I don't think so. Obviously I will watch this very carefully until the last drop falls late this evening, but for now, the worst case scenario appears to have passed us by. Stay tuned!
