  1. Just got back from being out - most roads are decent in my area but have a compacted layer of snow/ice/sleet on them. They're mostly liquid now but they'll become a skating rink if the temperature dips.
  2. Just drove from extreme western loudoun to Dulles. All snow at home (800ft) and started to encounter mixing sleet in between round hill and purcellville. Leesburg was steady sleet and by the time I got to Dulles, it's all rain.
  3. 26.8 / 22.1 and very steady light flakes with around 3/4" already
  4. There are many wrecks in a normal day on I81 - the snow just makes it impassable given the number of trucks.
  5. 26.8 / 20.8 Snowing for an hour and neighborhood road has already caved
  6. Surprised these haven't seen a cut yet. I'm guessing half these totals for areas east of BR
  7. LOL that takes me from 3 to 10 inches. Not buying.
  8. Some folks will get upset that this busted, but it speaks to the state of forecasting honestly. The models aren't to be taken as what will happen, only an input into formulating a forecast. Even some mets I think have forgotten that. Models are a tool - not a prediction. There were some like @ers-wxman1 that sounded caution on this early and said the airmass wasn't conducive to a big event.
  9. We always seem to get more dryslotting than projections. Would not be surprised to see that as well.
  10. This is a cold rain 'near miss' and/or sleet fest for most here. Fun while it lasted ... it follows a similar pattern, we should be used to it by now.
  11. @ers-wxman1 Your earlier comments about the relative strength of the cold airmass make sense to me. This just doesn't seem to have the strength of arctic cold that we need for this close a track to hold for any length of time.
  12. Understood, from your earlier statements I figured that was a foregone conclusion.
  13. The oft-desired, seldom-seen Purple checkmark or 'magic quadrant':
