2m temps means something but it is much more about what goes on upstairs. Need Bob Chill or one of the Mets to explain this better than I could, lol. It's something about the DGZ, Dendritic Growth Zone or something like that. Remember the last storm in Virginia? Ground temps in the low teens? Sleet falling in 13 degree temperatures and people saying this is so ridiculous? It was all about what was happening upstairs. I think it was because of a strong warm layer at about 700mb or something like that over top of the incredibly frigid airmass over the Mid Atlantic that caused the warm layer to dump rainfall that froze into sleet pellets because it was so damn COLD in the boundary layer. Or something like that. I really should leave this to degreed Mets or qualified hobbyists like bncho or Bob Chill or PSU or even SnowinOutThere. He needs a red tag stat. I sure don't. All I am, is an old man, all played out, can't even dig snow anymore, can hardly walk on ice down here in Texas without falling and smashing my low back to smithereens, snow weenie lmao.

It's SE BUT this is pretty early

Truer words were never spoken.

The worst of it is you guys are probably in for several more major winter storms. Especially that thing brewing in the models right now. Could be talkin 1993 except this time you guys get laser targeted for maximum snow accumulations! ON TOP of that DEEP solid ice! Might have to start calling that place New Greenland lmao... ...By the time this is over we may all be fully Snowciopathic lol.

That's EPIC man, just plain EPIC! Not really sure how to clear that monster ice accumulation. Maybe get a pressure washer with super hot water...

I am very happy you are okay. You'll get the windshield fixed, but the most important thing is you are okay.

Wright Weather Bulletin Board (WWBB), that was the very first weather forum I ever read. That was back in the good old days. Before that I think it was some place called ne.weather.

Thats the Weathernext 2.0 Model I think. https://efisher828.github.io/weathernext/

We will have handheld phones like those by about 2037, they will use applied nanotechnology to change shape, but we will have even better tech than phones by the middle/later 2030s.

Hey Dave! Welcome to the Forum! You are hailing from my old stomping grounds, I lived there for 55 years. No kidding about our collective power. We CAN will this thing, and we WILL Reel this baby home!

Csnavywx, Is this a Triple Phaser? To my untrained eyes it sure looks like one. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...

Imagine all that fresh snow right on top of that Glacier. It'd be an outright Cryosphere

This is a thing of pure beauty. All I have ever wanted, is for there to be such a massive snowstorm over the DMV, that simply demolishes with incredibly heavy snows, and this looks so transcendently resplendent in all its Glory! It's got its frigid, moisture laden, highly energetic eyes fixed on DCA.

Not really Weathafella! We love SNE/NE and we are glad you got real snow! Enjoy it! I have always loved you guys ever since 2000. Love that region. I am getting OLD now but one day I just might visit during a big snow.

That might end up being a BIG snowstorm for you guys!

Get used to that glacier. It aint goin nowhere anytime soon.

I had so much fun reading all the posts tracking this storm then watching folks get buried by snow and sleet. Buda got smacked, too. We had a glacier just not as deep as the Eastern US has.

Trackers NOT kiddin! WE need to start tracking this right now!

Mom made Texas chili! It's cold out there atop the Texas Glacier!

I can't fall. Gotta be careful. Not used to this nonsense down here in South TX. I fall I am gonna get hurt BAD.

We couldn't even muster 25 today in Buda. Glacier everywhere. Damn near had a pratfall by the back door. Damn glaciated sleet and ZR is soooo slippery!

Anyone know how much snow then sleet Dale City got?

You got worn out on the Tug with those 8 feet of lake effect snow lol.

There's nothing quite like getting a ton of sleet real good in your boots from a pile snow/sleet that's too damn deep for your boots.

Later it will glaciate. Then you have to be very careful walking on it.
