I did my last clean up around 6pm yesterday, it was still sleeting and ended up with about 1/2" of crud this morning. Metal flat blade shovels popped it up real nice. I have some neighbors that haven't touched their drives. They are HOSED.

Is there a roof overhang nearby? I noticed a lot extra sleet around my house under the gutters and a foot or so out. All the sleet from the roof was sliding down and piling up. I measured 6" of snow when I woke up before the sleet started. Who knows how much sleet, maybe another 5-6"?

So I cleared my drive this morning, now it has a couple inches of sleet. I think I'll let it be until tomorrow morning. I feel like if I do another clearing before dark I'm gonna get some bad glazing overnight.

I have a 4' pile of sleet on the ground under where two parts of my roof intersect. Its like a sleetvalanch coming down that corner.

Yea its basically a driving rain storm but you don't get wet. Not sure I've ever seen sleet this hard.

Was supposed to be skiing this weekend with the kids having a 3 day weekend, but the single digit temps killed that plan. Might try just myself later in the week but temps are frigid through next weekend. Dumping sleet in Ellicott City right now. Measured 6" prior to the flip.

Surface level cold, the upper levels get blasted with warmth from the south. Someone smarter than me can explain how when the coastal low bombs out it brings in cold air. Something about the wind direction I believe.

Yea I remember in the early 90s having to take a hammer and chisel to our driveway because there was at least 1/2" of ice on everything. It actually was a bad thing that we shoveled the snow off because anything that still had some snow left on it, the ice came up easy. Bare surfaces the ice had adhered to and didn't want to let go.

PSU has been saying for a couple days it has shown the way we can fail solution. The low transfers too North and floods the uppers with warmth.

Remember when everyone was saying KU had a drinking problem after he said "Congrats Chicago"? My kids have been coming home from school asking about the 2-3ft blizzard we are about to get. "But my friend showed me her apple weather app!" "This other kid follows some facbook site called Jays Wintery Mix!" Told them to expect 4-6" of some type of frozen stuff. After the last couple years I've learned to set the bar low.

Biggest, best, most beautiful snow storm we've ever seen?

Not sure why the Harbaugh's love Roman, but watching that game reminded me of the Raven's playoff appearances with Roman as OC. Jim must have had enough because Roman just got fired today. Maybe Herbert refused to play another season with him.

and now its bright sun and snow!

This squall is wild! Went from sunny to clouds, wind, and blowing snow in a snap.

Maybe they can all go hang out at Harbaugh's kickass mancave and watch the playoffs there.
