Oh man I just looked. I would not want to be a Raleigh snow weenie right now! Brutal

Our daughter came home from Morehead City to MD to escape the storm. If we weren't so busy right now, I would have gone down there! Keep the obs and webcams coming folks and enjoy!

Gimme that for the first half of February. Seasonal but with one good track storm with a clean snow. I'd be ready for spring then

Your area got nailed last February too, congrats! How rare are 12-inch snowfalls in back-to-back years there? We've gone 10 years now without one in the DC/Balt region.

How disruptive would 8-12" be in that area? I can't imagine they have many plows? Our daughter is in Morehead City. Sorry of the off-topic SE forum folks! Hope you get a good storm.

Man, Norfolk area snow lovers living the good life! They got that 12" storm last Feb and about 17" for the winter which blew away central MD's paltry total last year. Now they're looking at another 8-12" storm. Last weekend's storm here with 6.5 snow then some sleet was the most since 2019, but I wish we could get a 8-12 all snow here.

This reminds me of the winter of '77 in MD where we got a moderate snow of around 6" with a crust of ice followed by weeks of frigid and dry. The glacier lasted for weeks and January was an incredible -12 departure at DCA, but it lacked in the total snow department.

Can't believe the Challenger tragedy was 40 years ago today. I remember it so clearly - I was at Florida State and everyone was just stunned silent walking around campus and some crying.

Two years ago today at DCA

I measured 6.5 snow and 3.5 sleet which aligns perfectly with official reports of 10.8 from Clarksburg and 9.2 from Germantown on either side of my spot.

My sister in California, MD says freezing rain there now and a glaze already developing. Nearby temps are 26 at St. Mary's Airport and 28 at Pax River. Not good with lots of precip to go!

Just think, since sleet has a 3:1 ratio, multiply by 4 if it was powder snow. Dang!

Yes! It put a pile in front of the garage which my snowblower really choked on. Glad I moved it or we'd have had a big ice speed bump at the entrance of our garage for two weeks LOL

So far 1.5 sleet (snow was 6.5); depth 7.5 so not compacting too much. Moderate sleet and 19 degrees

So glad the Baltimore region finally got a big storm after 10 years! I know it's a Nina, but here's to a good old fashioned GulfMex baby coming up the coast as the cold pattern relaxes. Sleet dust (thanks to BobChill for the new p-type term ) and 18 degrees
