    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!
  5. BlizzardNole
    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

    It turned to sleet right as I finished clearing my driveway of 6.5" of snow at 9 am, so I'll be able to get a good sleet measurement. Currently 19 with dry sleet

    My wants: First 6" snow since 2019 -- CHECK! 6.5" and sleet now. I hope the 10-year drought folks reach 6" Heavy daytime snow -- CHECK! Glad the flip held off so I could have that
  11. BlizzardNole
    That's gotta be some fast sledding! Hope you hold onto sleet as long as possible. Just flipped to all sleet in Germantown
  12. BlizzardNole
    I hope it's that after the flip and not freezing rain! My p&c holds off freezing rain until this evening Mod snow, about 4" and 14 degrees (Germantown)
  13. BlizzardNole
    18 degrees in Germantown with moon and stars visible through thin clouds. We will see if we break the seven-year streak of no 6-plus inch snows here.

    I'm going to be watching closely for the flip to ice so I can leave a little snow on the driveway under the ice so I can scrape it off later. If ice glaze gets on bare driveway with the temps coming up, forget it!

    We are moving from a house with natural gas heat and cheap Potomac Ed electric to one with heat pump only and higher SMECO rates. Winter bills will be ugly! We're doing a pre-final walk-through today - we'll get to see how that heat pump handles 10 F

    I'm amazed by how cold it looks for days and days after this event! Imagine if something pops up in medium range next week like a strong clipper. Or if we get one of those deals where a big system forms as the cold pattern starts to relax.
  17. BlizzardNole
    I get ya. I am in read-only mode over there and do my blabbing here

    In 1994 we had a devastating ice storm with 2 inches of solid ice. At times, we had moderate rain and 18 degrees! It was due to the cold layer being shallow enough for the rain to reach the ground as liquid despite such low surface temps. I this upcoming storm, hopefully the cold layer is thick enough to freeze the raindrops into sleet!
  19. BlizzardNole
    Highs in the low to mid 80s in south FL the next few days! So different from the typical cold blast in the east where south FL is in the 50s. Anyone that booked a trip to FL this weekend got their money's worth

    Rooting for the underdog GFS to pull an upset over the vaunted EURO for much less ice down there. I was in Owings for 1994 and it was awful. I've got family in Owings, Huntingtown and Leonardtown.

    He talks about the dangerous ice storm risk for VA with temps in the upper teen/low 20s with well over an inch of accretion followed by single digits early next week. Very serious esp for people without generators. I have family in St Marys and Calvert and am starting to worry about them.
  22. BlizzardNole
    Mine refused the rolling hills of Frederick County, MD so we are moving to Calvert Hoping for one last super MoCo-HoCo band from this storm before I start hanging out on the lower southern MD/eastern shore thread
  23. BlizzardNole
    St. Mary's county would have 8-10" snow followed by well over an inch of freezing rain. That would be real bad

    That ice map for parts of the south is awful and would rival our 1994 disaster
