    Wind is roaring in a sustained fashion... watching my neighbor's dead trees aimed at my house.

    Moderate rain... and some serious wind gusts. Come on dry slot. Clear this out.

    3 inches to end the snow here in Fairfax. Sleet has started as the radar shows.

    Flurries in Fairfax.

    Ended with an average of just over 10 inches south side of Fairfax area. Pretty consistent with this part of the county.

    Significant ice on the trees in Fairfax, pines are drooping quite a bit. This winter really has been unbetter than nothing. Ice and sleet and continuous cold, and almost no snow.

    Mostly light rain/drizzle in Fairfax, was a dusting of sleet.

    Honestly I don't personally consider this a bust at all. Just because some group predicts significant snowfall doesn't mean it is a likely outcome. Organizations that forecast weather do what they do for whatever reason, but there was never going back a week a high likelihood of significant snow around DC. Never.

    Which is average for late February?

    Still sleet in Fairfax, although under the orange returns seeing the cooling aloft happen in real time with clumpy sleet and even a few flakes making it down. We need sustained orange to get there, guess we have a chance in the last couple hours based on radar.

    For sure, it's number 50 on my list of 100 things that needed to get done on this old house since I bought it. I'm hoping given its age it's been through this before.

    I'm sweating at the moment. I expect little snow as this setup doesn't support significant snow at DC's latitude, but have an 80 foot pine bent about 35 degrees with the entire crown past vertical hanging toward my house. I'm hoping this is mostly sleet, like the last storm, but definitely very nervous. Of course this would be the year we get ice.

    I'd appreciate some sun at some point... getting to be pretty miserable. Another cold and dreary day.
  14. haudidoody
    Getting needle/column like ice now with the sleet in Fairfax.
  15. haudidoody
    Icier sleet now in Fairfax, maybe we can get some snow at some point with heavier rates.
  16. haudidoody
    90% sleet still in Fairfax. Hopefully the freezing rain stays away... forever.
  17. haudidoody
    Not when it's presented in my dining room, no. Rooting hard against any ice, especially given condition of a few bent pines around my house. I'm on a four bust streak here, happy for a fifth.

    Honestly, nothing unexpected with these storms given history. I lived not far from DCA for 15 years starting in the early 2000s and what you're describing is SOP. And the orientation and track of storms this year has not been good for areas around and below DCA's latitude. It's not just BL temps that have been poor, the upper levels haven't worked out either. We're not doing any better out here in Fairfax. We had less than DCA here for this one... about 0.1" at best.

    Mix of snow and sleety rain but the trees are just wet so remains above freezing at surface in Fairfax.

    Trends always go the wrong way for the DC area, it's not really a question of verbatim or not. But I would agree that the models aren't the problem. In my personal opinion, the problem is the forecast office personnel who keep putting out unrealistic short-term forecasts. Busting low consistently for years means something isn't working right.

    Kids came by and asked if they could clear my driveway!?

    Know your climo, use your experience, and keep your mouth shut. 1" here but melting fast, currently light snow.
  23. haudidoody
    Snowing very lightly in Fairfax, have about 4 inches total.
  24. haudidoody
    Light snow picking up again hopefully get an inch or so. I see my hometown in NJ is passing 26" already with a ton more to come. May be an all timer there.
  25. haudidoody
    Even down here in Fairfax flakes are mixing in with the sleet when showers pass through. It's a mix of big flakes and sleet right now. But only very light off and on.
