  1. Yep and I think that all of the neighbors are going to shovel and then the one nice neighbor will go around with their snowblower and get all of the snow off the driveways of people who did not shovel unwittily dooming us all to ice.
  2. The NAM also gives DC 0.4 inches of freezing rain and western Fairfax around .3. Would be a snow to sleet bomb with freezing rain to turn it into concrete.
  3. Total QDF for DC is a bit over 1 inch and below freezing the whole event.
  4. I do feel that the trends did not go great for now because most showed a colder but more or a sleet bomb solution. Though since it is trending colder this might mean that in the future we will see more snow. That said it did at least for me who is not an optimist after all of the missed storms this year trends did not go great snowfall wise which a lot of people look at.
  5. The Euro trended worse, the CMC trended worse, the NAM is about the same. In other words if you are a glass half empty type you could say that things are trending towards the NAM. This is at least true for Fairfax county where I live in which is disappointing.
  6. Man if the NAM is right we would get a total glacier, I mean some snow then a bunch of sleet along with freezing rain to solidify it into ice. It would be pretty fun not to mention have a lot of staying power but I think i'll take the snow solution.
  7. Alright, I propose that we only start the thread a little bit after the watches or warnings are posted because when the NWS issues things the storm always falls apart anyways so a thread can't hurt.
  8. When will the 18z Euro come out? I thought it was around 7pm when people would post the maps.
  9. I think it makes it trend worse if it is a warning but better if it is an advisory.
  10. Man, the latest GFS-v16 is a great storm for us a solid thump followed by sleet and then ice but never goes above freezing before the precip moves out then an artic blast a day later to keep the snow around on the ground instead of melting. I would take that in a heartbeat doubt it happens though.
  11. Does the 18z Euro look better, the same or worse than the 12z
  12. I think it is the Hallett-Massop process that caused them.
  13. Weird, not even the pines are sagging where I am plenty of sleet though but almost no ice buildup.
  14. Seeing everyone say how either they are getting ice or just no ice accretion is weird because for me at least there has been almost no ice on the trees. There is also no glaze of ice except on the deck but the roads are sleet covered and so is the yard. Seems at least for me to be more of a sleet storm.
  15. Over the past 15 minutes it went from light freezing rain and sleet to heavy sleet no freezing rain and then to a mix of heavy sleet and super tiny snowflakes and now a mist a very tiny snowflakes. I also went on a walk 15 minutes ago.. it turned to snow right after I finished. Well played.
  16. Here near Reston some pixie dust snowflakes mixing in with heavy sleet.
  17. Went from freezing rain to sleet and is sleeting heavily hopefully we could get some more cooling in the upper levels to turn it to snow.
  18. You know a good ice storm for us on Saturday if it knocks out the power and thus the form would probably be good for all of our mental health.
