Thanks! Rain and 13 degrees is wild. Keep us updated!

Woke up. About to check stats shortly. Looks like 3-4” eyeballing. Everything js just a winter wonderland atm

Glad to see some of us are up. Who needs sleep when this is going on! Lol

You'll be diappointed to know, there was no ice storm here. Not only was there vietually no freezing rain after the changeover from plain rain, but even the sleet amounts ended up underachieving. Not it's dry slot city.

To bad it's not windy there would be some nice drifts with this powder.

Just measured 4.3” so tracking exactly. Sound of the snow has changed to an icier sound so I think the flip is likely soon…maybe an hour or so. Where in Alexandria?

Several models now get rain line up to Bucks. Pretty crazy stuff. Damage will be done but didnt expect to see 32 again til next week.

What is the board clearing rules for a storm of this duration? How many hours in? Do I do it when I change to sleet?

Congrats to all the SNE crew--especially y'all in the eastern MA. It's one for the ages there! I'm resigned to 10-14. Solid in any other storm except when the difference between 10" is a matter of just a few miles. I'm hanging my hopes on the 3k to do any better than the 10-14.

Raleigh, NC is reporting 19F and ZR this morning which is definitely rare.

Staying the night in AC and driving home at 5 am wasnt the best choice it turns out…

That is the CAD Wedge. There lower CC returns aloft within the wedge, but it seems right now that the temp is dancing around 31-32 within the wedge at about 8fkt. Leading to rimed flakes but not a full sleet transition.

I'm not exactly sure what the hell is falling. Kinda sand like with a few "real" flakes mixed in. Winds are screaming out of the SE with a temp of 4. Maybe 2.5" so far eyeballing it.

29.7/28

I’m not sure people realize how serious it is to be flipping to rain when it’s 15 degrees out. I really hope that doesn’t happen up here.

Been awake since 2 am (thank you tea). Fox weather was doing special broadcasting at 4 am. DC TV channels 4, 5 and 9 kicked in at 6 am with coverage, including their closures lists. Channel 4 estimated another 6 inches for the DC metro, while channel 5 thought there would be 3-5 inches added. Almost time to see what channel 7 will say.

Sleet line is rocking north now into PG county at this rate it will be to rt 50 in the next 30 minutes if that.

How accurate is the correlation sleet radar model thing ?

hmmm...i wonder who that hotdog represents

Light snow; 9/6. Visibility 3/4 mile; 1 1/2” new

This is definitely fluff here in Sterling, VA so far. A nice enjoyable snow for the time being even if it is not the huge totals originally forecast. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1b2vZ4L7g1/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/173i8AL2S3/

Mix line rapidly approaching the Springfield mixing bowl.

Guessing maybe another hour of pure snow in Easton.

That country wide radar is a thing of beauty.

What on earth is going on with those CCs? I’m sure people who are much more knowledgeable can explain. Looks like the sleet line has a big hole in it. Anyway. SN+ right now in Gaithersburg. They’re plowing snow into piles right now that will be glaciers later today.
