That is nasty stuff. Can’t imagine how many power outages there’ll be and a cold week ahead at that. Not ideal.

Cool! And we want that wedge to hold as long as possible right?

Every one of the them but the NAM seem to be holding at 15-17 inches here, but...the caveat is that I'm probably farther northeast from any potential mixing. Not saying it can't, or won't, happen, but I suppose it's less likely here.

I do every six hours and whenever there is a changeover.

go to winter weather and click on probabilistic snowfall forecasts and the new maps are there...they are like 30 minutes more recent than the one you're looking at.

Still Heavy snow and low vis live cam in DC right now.. That 700mb warm layer has met some resistance already

Same here what a waste.

People seemed so focused on the snow that this is getting ignored. Hopefully the models are wrong, but that could be very bad.

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 disappointed to know, there was no ice storm here. Granted, roads are stilll trecherous enough. But not only was there virtually no freezing rain after the changeover from plain rain, but even the sleet amounts ended up underachieving. Now 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 but don’t think we have that long. 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.
