  1. Same for me. I had like a minute of heavy snow now it's back to intermittent parachutes. Oh well. Back edge racing up at least I got to see some fatties before this wraps up. Even though I don't love sleet still a winter event that is better than 35 and white rain.
  2. Switched to heavy snow in Takoma Park too, very cool. Would love to keep this going for a while.
  3. So what are we thinking? An hour or two more of the heavy stuff? NAM 3k has the heavy stuff outta here 11am-12am and the HRRR maybe an hour after that.
  4. I dunno why anyone would like sleet. It sleets hard and then you have nothing to show for it. At least freezing rain makes the trees look pretty.
  5. Snow mixing in Takoma park, or so it looks from inside.
  6. So the NAM from a few days ago as our far NW outliner wins again. Sheesh.
  7. so I guess the GFS para wasn’t right hahaha? Sounds like a lot of sleet outside.
  8. It looks like some oscillating between sleet/snow in the heavy precip. Should be fun for sure.
  9. Looks like almost sleet if not sleet to me, but close.
  10. Little Rock has a snow depth of 14 inches so my bar for this storm just became 14 inches.
  11. Hey it’s actually in the 20s before a storm! 29/16.
  12. And warmer too for DC. 850s knocking on the door at 12z.
  13. BTW is it nice for you to be out of urban heat island hell? I remember all your obs from past events basically 40 degrees and sad hahaha. Do you take some trips up to Canaan at all?
  14. If that map verifies it will be a proper bust for basically our entire subforum except DCA lol.
  15. If the NAM is right though we ride that line, keep the heavies going until the flip and then it's basically zip outta here quick anyway. But yeah, like you said, really close on those soundings.
  16. It's 5 inches for DC before sleet, it's pretty much the best case scenario. The heavy precip doesn't even stick around for that long after the changeover anyway.
  17. 12k is a beast. 0.5 QPF before sleet for DC. Love it.
  18. Looks very reasonable to me. I hope it verifies!
  19. I was thinking the same thing. Anything is preferable to white rain and 35 degrees. This will almost certainly at least start off white for us. Should be fun.
  20. 00z euro still looked good, my bar here is 2-4, which if it accumulated nicely in a few hours on roads would be my best event of the winter by far.
  21. 3 inch sleet bombs are more rare than big snow storms, I wouldn’t get your hopes up for that.
  22. Solid event, I’d sign for the 3 inches that gives me right now if I could. 3 inches + sleet + snow showers + a cold weekend is about as good as it gets most of the time for us. Gotta just roll with it, can’t be punting events like this as a mid Atlantic weenie.
  23. Those SV maps don’t differentiate sleet, it just gets counted as 10:1 I believe.
