    I wouldn’t sleep on this one. Right now ridge and trough axis too far east, but we said the same thing about today’s threat being too suppressed. Lots of time for things to change for better or worse.

    On top of what we got today? If that panned out, counties might as well give up on make up days and people are gonna go stir crazy haha

    Another inch of sleet had fallen since my last 8.5” measurement. Back edge about to clear my area. Calling it 9.5” total, 5.5” snow 4.0” sleet. Crazy storm

    Tbh I was surprised the sleet line blew past us all the way to Harrisburg PA given the arctic airmass we got. I figured the DMV would mix so I gave them 4-8” with 6-10 in the NW suburbs, which seems to have done okay. But I didn’t have southern PA going to sleet just a couple hours after we did!

    Credit where its due - 3k NAM got the thermals right, timed the changeover quite well. Whiffed on pre-flip qpf though.

    Back edge approaching. Temp creeping up a few tenths - 16.7. Some freezing drizzle in the dry slot certainly isn’t out of the question. I’m expecting to see a thin glaze tomorrow morning.

    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.
  11. Terpeast
    It is historic in and of itself, really
  12. Terpeast
    Temp backed down to 15, was 16 an hour ago. Really hoping we can hold off the zr until dry slot
  13. Terpeast
    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
  17. Terpeast
    All sleet now aa rates lightened up. That last band was legit, dropped another inch in a an hour even with low ratios/mix.
  18. Terpeast
    Yes its really dumping rn. Temps holding at 14.2
  19. Terpeast
    Made it to 6”. Some compaction though with hard rimed snow with sleet. Still snowing good!
  20. Terpeast
    Bigger flakes mixing in. So interesting. This one is keeping us on our toes
  21. Terpeast
    Wasn’t IAD at 5.1”? Or did they correct it down?
  22. Terpeast
    I think the snow im getting is grown UNDER the warm nose. Very strong cold CAD. Tiny flakes, poor growth, but still sn nevertheless
  23. Terpeast
    Back to all sn
  24. Terpeast
    Wild that we’re putting out the same type of obs at the same times
  25. Terpeast
    I think thats what I’m getting now. Never really seen this before
