Definitely a high impact memorable storm here, maybe just not exactly in the way we wanted it to turn out. But we ain’t going anywhere for at least a few days probably longer
-
I’m hoping precip shuts off as it crosses the mountains leaving us with only 2-3 hours left, and it stays sleet. Your numbers are similar to mine, maybe 0.5” less for me
-
Holding at 16. Still coming down, have not checked if there is any zr
-
8.5” total, 5.5” pure snow plus 2 inches of snow/sleet mix, and 1” pure sleet. Shoveling is brutal. I didn’t finish.
-
It is historic in and of itself, really
-
Temp backed down to 15, was 16 an hour ago. Really hoping we can hold off the zr until dry slot
-
I sure hope not
-
16, sleet and pixie dust. I’m sure I have 8” total frozen by now. And that plume of moisture headed our way is honestly starting to scare me. This stuff will glacierize
-
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
