Flurries started here (cmh area)

WB 0Z HRRR 7am

Traffic cams show flakes in EZF. Monitoring Stafford for next.

Huge bust. Nothing here in Greenville. At least my power won’t be out for a week now.

22.3 and flurries, temp slowly rising.

Exactly-so happy for the forum to cash in!

5F.....Winter, nice!

Almost seems as if the precip on radar is moving more flat/southern than models are showing

17 here. Outside stacking wood awaiting the first flakes. It feels like snow all around

9/-9; I’m in the cold camp. Let’s get it!

welcome to the beautiful Eastern Panhandle!

Yeah I am totally over this storm. Looks like it's gonna stay sleet with an incoming dry slot.

Given the above, still think sleet will be the predominant precip type for a while on Sunday, but some guidance now indicating an earlier transition to freezing rain, especially across the VA/NC border and south. With the higher confidence of more freezing rain, have kept ice amounts to 0.4" to 0.75" for most of North Carolina and southern/SW Virginia, with localized higher amounts along the crest of the Blue Ridge. This is a significant amount of ice... downed trees and power lines, resulting in extended power outages are now becoming more likely. Since sleet typically has a liquid equivalent ratio of roughly (2- 1/3-1), we could potentially see additional sleet totals on top of any snow that falls early on in the event. The snow that does fall into this extremely cold and dry airmass will be very fluffy and light, while the sleet that falls on top, combined with freezing rain, will lead to a heavy crust on top of the previously fallen snow.

WB 0Z HRRR overspreading DC by 1 am, all but far NE MD by 3am

Nope, he’s out for dinner right now. wonder if he’ll go to bed Sunday night

15.1/1.1 here in 21057

Moon is out here.

Sleet has really picked up, but just like others are saying, there is definitely freezing rain mixed in leaving a glaze already.

Thanks, all.

We pass the obs thread juju baton. Let’s get a region wide crushah.

Think “dad” is posting as Junior tonight from bed

Boogie down here.

Well guys, let's bring her home. The majority of us have been on these forums in some capacity for 15-20 years. We know we don't get these chances often and we know how rare even a 12+ storm is. It's such a niche group but I'm thankful to have others who share my excitement over frozen liquid. Let's hope this makes up for all of the close calls, screw jobs and rug pulls over the the last 10 or so years. We deserve this one!

Hopefully
