I think suppression or an OTS track is more likely. We likely have a very strong -NAO and a +PNA ridge centered in the interior west. Seems very different from this week.

What was your total? I think that if I had been able to measure properly last night, it would have been close to 5-6 inches total, but it all just compacted into a glacier under the sleet.

01.24-25.2026 4.3" (depth, but don't have objective justification for anything higher since I was asleep when it flipped) Total 12.5"

Precip shut off in Lynchburg, VA - snow/sleet depth measured in multiple locations is 4.3", mostly sleet. Probably got close to 2 inches of snow before the flip and 3-4" of sleet which pulverized the dry snow. Only a trace of freezing rain which is a welcome blessing. Certainly a memorable storm that will stick around for a while.

Moderate/heavy sleet with temps at 23 degrees in Lynchburg, VA. Had a period of ZR with lighter rates, but really only a glaze of ice. Not much precip left. Central/Southern VA as well as the NC Piedmont seem to really have dodged a bullet.

Back to sleet with heavier precip. Seemingly rate dependent.

Unfortunately the slug of precip from the west just started here (Lynchburg, VA) and it is Freezing Rain.

Just flipped to ZR in Lynchburg, surface temperature at 22.

Still pouring sleet an hour south of you - surface temps have risen from 14 to 16 in the last hour or so. No sign of freezing rain. I'm really not sure what the total is, but it's at least 2 inches of sleet so far. Depth is about 3.25 inches or so. Whatever snow fell before about 1-2 AM last night has been compacted under a lot of sleet.

Slightly over an inch in Lynchburg. It's been pretty light snow. Hoping the band about to move in isn't sleet.

It also seems too dry. It doesn't have most of the heavier precip just north of the VA/NC border.

Probably means nothing, but the 00z 3k NAM initialized at 19 degrees for my location, right now it's 14 degrees according to my thermometer and 13 degrees at the airport a few miles south of me.

took this picture about 25 minutes ago Rates have been pretty light so far but it's accumulating snow. 14/3, looks like surface temps, already a bit below forecast, still have room to drop a little bit

Pixie dust... very very very light dusting 17/-3
