eyewall

WRAL busted hard in this event. They definitely pretty much took the Euro's ice totals verbatim when they initially called for up to an inch of ice. They are a shell of their former selves.

yes. I am in Sterling right now.

Looks like it trying to go back to snow here right now.

The 18z Sounding where I am

yep still heavy sleet.

9 times out of 10 I find that ZR underperforms.

5 inches of snow and now at least 2 inches of sleet so far here in Sterling, VA. It is a true sleet bomb and still going.

Thank you! I had a few minutes to sneak out of work and lucky to grab it. I am thankful for an AWD vehicle.

Thank you! It hit me when I pointed down and I was like oh yeah I need to get this! Also Dulles is reporting heavy snow and I am not far from there and seeing nothing but sleet.

The scene this morning from Herndon (had to get LAANC clearance)

I was moved up to northern VA for fear of the ice at home and losing power by my job. I can say in Sterling, VA we have 1/2 mile vis in sleet now and that follows about 5 inches of snow.

Got to test my forester in the snow and sleet and it handled like a champ. I had to go down the road to get some aerial shots to where I wasn't too close to the airport.

Sleet is definitely winning out in Sterling, VA

The scene here in Sterling where people probably shoot up behind the hotel

Looks like it is going towards sleet now here in Sterling ugh.
