  1. Yup...you want about 0.05" to maybe 0.1" per hour rates otherwise it's just cold rain.
  2. Looks like a light ZR / mist now in Reisterstown. Hope we turn into an ice palace.
  3. Yea it was a 2 or 3 hour bang then a lotta nothing. 2nd half really underwhelming.
  4. Looks to be. HM posted on twitter how some NVA on the northern edge of the MO/MS moisture plume was robbing a lot of the precip in N. MD...maybe we pick stuff back up later? This lull is sort of a let down.
  5. I'm not sure what your beef with me is.
  6. When the precip picks up it goes back to snow in Gaithersburg...but once the rates lighten up it's back to just sleet.
  7. You're going to plain rain already? Or are you confusing IP with PL?
  8. Per the SPC meso analysis, the -4° degree line at 925 mbruns from roughly I-66 in VA to US 50 in Maryland. The -3° line at 850 mb runs roughly along the same line.
  9. Barely snowing...roads melting off. February sun sucks.
  10. CC shows it's not all snow...it's likely the changeover line.
  11. Yea it's really gotten lame after a short burst at onset.
  12. Pre-treatment is only to prevent the snow from bonding with the road, which aides melt off post event. It's not to keep the roads clear during the storm.
  13. ~600 per PEPCO in the 20878 zip code. Circuit failed at ~5:40 am...no ETR.
  14. Yea weird...it's been updated at least half a dozen times since 4am. Wonder if it's a computer error? Went from nothing to a steady snow in ~10 min in Gaithersburg.
  15. Yup. Huge red flag. NWS playing catch up is when we score. This is not our storm.
