Timing the transition was tough for me this time. I first started getting pingers/rimed flakes at around 7:30, but kept mixing and flipping in between until around 10 am. The mix accumulated so effectively that might as well have been all snow. Visibility was low, only 1/4-1/8 mile. Then it greatly improved at around 10, when it was just pure sleet without the tiny flakes or needles.
-
Heavy sleet, 15. Still piling up. 7” total
-
All sleet now aa rates lightened up. That last band was legit, dropped another inch in a an hour even with low ratios/mix.
-
Yes its really dumping rn. Temps holding at 14.2
-
Made it to 6”. Some compaction though with hard rimed snow with sleet. Still snowing good!
-
Bigger flakes mixing in. So interesting. This one is keeping us on our toes
-
Wasn’t IAD at 5.1”? Or did they correct it down?
-
I think the snow im getting is grown UNDER the warm nose. Very strong cold CAD. Tiny flakes, poor growth, but still sn nevertheless
-
Back to all sn
-
Wild that we’re putting out the same type of obs at the same times
-
I think thats what I’m getting now. Never really seen this before
-
Actually, snow mixing back in. Might be back and forth for a bit
-
That’s it for me. 5.5” of snow accumulation officially. Now all sleet, but a cold accumulating sleet
-
If I can stay snow or at least rimed snow/sleet mix, I’ll make it to 6” around 8 am
-
5” officially at 7:25 am. Ashburn. Puking
-
Heavy snow!
-
snow putting up a valiant fight. Will prob cross the 5” mark soon
-
You could be right, it was dark and hard to tell. Just saw those things bounce off my hand
-
Must have been temporary warm pocket upstairs. But my hours (minutes?) are numbered I also hope we stay sleet and then dryslot before zr
-
Changed back to all sn, still accumulating. 4.5”
-
Pingers starting to mix in Ashburn
-
Cleared 4” and coming down heaviest so far
-
Think we have 2-3 hours till we flip here. Line is moving north but cold is fighting back
-
Closing in on 4”, should be able to clear that with the yellows incoming dropped slightly to 14.2
-
If we set it to tilt 3, can better see where the sleet line actually is
