    From what I remember, CMC was the first I noticed hinting at large amounts of sleet across DC metro, as early as Tuesday night last week. But that’s just one data point.

    I took apart the drain filter on my washer last year and it was disgusting. I had about 8 kids socks in there clogging it up and making it smell. Seems like a design flaw. The big design flaw was the hatch to get to the filter is on the back. Ugh.

    Instagram seems to like to feed me things that are 3 days old, which ends up hilarious when I keep seeing the weather channel maps from 3 days ago.

    Every 6 hours I check back in and the mixing is earlier and earlier. I’m seeing now around 9 AM. Unfortunately, that will really limit the ability for people to enjoy the storm. We’ll have kids home for likely two days stuck inside, and going out in sleet and freezing rain isn’t a good time. I’d much rather be on the northern fringe and get 4” of powder.

    I was also in NYC and if I remember right, that was the storm (on some other forum) where a ~40 yr veteran but retired NWS person called bust early and was eaten alive.

    Northern Illinois really had a crazy couple of days https://imgur.com/a/uxQXMDS

    Seems like the storms up by Rockville died out right on the doorstep. Still the most lightning I’ve seen all year, which is to say, not a lot. Sadly barely any rain. But on the plus side we have a nice rainbow now.

    The Gaithersburg tornado passed about a 1/2 mile north of me. Easily the craziest cloud movement I’ve ever seen for a few minutes. They were moving every which direction. Saw some interesting rotation right as it passed Gaithersburg downtown. https://imgur.com/a/rTvadzv

    What luck! Brother is getting married Sunday night in LA area. My flight back to east coast is monday midday. I just booked a backup flight on Tuesday because this does not bode well for flights out of LAX Monday.

    The entire University of Maryland campus has had no power since 5:30 PM yesterday. Hopefully getting it back today, but the nearby neighborhoods had some major damage, especially Berwyn. Can see the bow echo was at peak form right as it hit College Park.

    I actually have more surfaces covered in snow than any point during the last storm! The wind just kills ratios and accumulation here right on the Hudson River. I could still see huge swaths of ground during the storm last time because nothing would stick. I’m like 10ft from the river so winds really crank here between the skyscrapers.

    3k Nam doesn't look as good for NYC. Throws 14" over Morris county but 7" over NYC due to mixing.

    Here we go again, let's hope the trend stops now!

    That makes no sense. First of all, it wasn’t really an outlier. Secondly, you can’t properly measure the snow two days later.
