Hey @psuhoffman when are you going to open a ski resort?
-
Yeah, I feel your pain. Everyone far outside the beltway (to the north and west) has had snow cover for almost the whole month meanwhile here near the snow hole known as DC there were 1-3 days when the grass was covered. We still got March and then we have next year(s).
-
Imagine how funny it would be if this was the largest snow event so far (we still got March) of the winter. Fail after fail and then the storm no one payed attention to is the largest event. Would be so funny and at the very least some snow looks possible.

I want the next week storm to go well and as someone else pointed out the is that if there is one thing DC can do snow wise it is to have 60s a day or two before a snowstorm. I want to say lets do this but it is a week away so if this holds together through the weekend I'm in. -
You know I just looked out the window and it's flurrying tiny flakes lightly falling. I think this counts as cruel and unusual punishment. Though why can we get flurries now when I got a half inch of sleet earlier? What caused the atmosphere to cool down?
-
Yep in the same boat as both of you though was interesting to walk in sleet good for sledding too.
-
This storm reminds me of the last where everyone was saying well there is no way both the first wave goes north and the second misses to our south and then it happened. Same thing with this event it was it might mix earlier but QDF should be fine. They both failed again.
-
Well never being in an actual sleet event it was sort of cool but uh it was a bust only around an inch of sleet. My forecast issued to some friends during the 12z runs of yesterday said 3-6 inches of snow and sleet maybe even mostly sleet and almost no snow but unlikely. Total we got 1 inch of sleet that sort of stinks not to mention my forecast was horribly off all because of 1 degree. Did any model do well at the 12z suit with the temp issues and the QDF? Oh well we still got March.
-
This sleet is not only super heavy it is also falling with force, there are impact craters.
-
All sleet for this might be in the top five worse storm misses so far but if we get some heavier bands and the sleet piles up I would still hate the storm but less.
-
Went to super heavy sleet with some snow mixing then light sleet/frz rain. Maybe if we get deathbanded we could switch.
-
Super heavy sleet and falling forcefully feels more like hail than sleet.
-
Well it's all sleet again maybe we can both get in on that band that gives us both snow.
-
heavy band of sleet flipping to the first time in the whole event some scattered snowflakes. I think my snowflake count so far is 10ish.
-
At least you have that me I got freezing rain.
-
Will it flip back to cold or are we done?
-
I feel your pain this is going to rip the sub thread in half between the people who it is dumping and for people who got nothing.
-
Does anyone have the Dulles balloon soundings?
-
If this storm truly is going to be an all sleet storm and freezing rain this will be A one of the worst ice storms ever B The worst forecasting fail in my memory. Who ever wanted a sleet bomb you got it.
-
Why is it sleeting? What happened woke up a 4am in the snow hole then again at 5 30 to heavy sleet and rain without any snow on the ground.
-
Just want to see your argument because it has been pretty good this winter could you put it in the banter thread?
-
I thought it wouldn't happen we were trending good but the latest Euro is not great to put it lightly. I sure hope it's not a trend because if this storm falls apart less than 24 hours from start I don't know what I will do.
-
My bar here is either 4'' of snow or a bit of snow with around 3'' of sleet and maybe with a freezing rain coating.
-
Worth noting that the high was supposed to be near 50 and we only got low 40s along with the temp dropping faster than expected. From my base level understanding this should cool the ground and lead to stuff sticking but for anyone who knows stuff about the weather what would this mean for the storm? Would it change the upper levels some?
-
Gonna be an icebox and will become hard to melt. I can't wait.
