8.4" official spotter report. Cleared off the sleet board. Still getting a lot of very small needles with the sleet. Very cool storm unless you realize how much snow we'd be getting if this wasn't sleet...

Lol wish I knew. I’m tapped out too -
Doubt Norrisville ever turned to sleet. Expect they’re pushing 16” by now?
-
7.7” total. Not quite to 2” of sleet but should get there in another hour-ish
-
7.2" total. 0.3" sleet last hour.

Been wondering about this. Huge scale is going to push it up the NESIS scale. -
@wxmvpete spot on here with NAM getting the mix timing pretty well. But under doing precip before changeover.
-
0.4" of (mostly) sleet last hour (seems like a lot!). 6.9" total snow+sleet. eta...need another 0.4" to mark my 3rd biggest snowstorm in 11 winters in this house. Top 2 (Jan 2016 and Jan 2019) are safe.

Glad you said that. I didn't mean to clean the whole snowboard at ~920am, but then I sort of leaned on it and boom, it was cleaned off. But that was a reasonable enough time for the transition.

@high risk your 13-14z call for the mix time was spot on. Was about 1330z for MBY. But this mix of sleet and needles is interesting. Visibility is way lower than normal for a predominant sleet precipitation event. I'm curious how this will accumulate. I think @csnavywx and @Terpeastwere suggesting we're getting snow to crystallize below the inversion to mix with the sleet that's coming from higher up?

6.5” total. Sleet and needles

We're in a little subsidence area looks like based on radar. Snow sounds icy against the window. Might go back and forth like the NoVA folks are getting.

My daughter woke up, bleary-eyed looked out the window, and eyeballed “about 6”?”. Nearly to the tenth! The genes were passed along successfully -
If we can hold back the sleet until ~10am, it's going to be damn close. Past 10am and 8"+ is a near-lock.

4.2" at IAD, 4.1" at BWI, and 3.3" at DCA as of 7am
-
1.1" last hour. 5.9" storm total. Dumping.
-
Someone wake up @Maestrobjwa to measure so we can end that discussion finally
-
I was wondering this too. I think I'm going to clear at least half the board.

4.8” official 7am spotter report
-
Allan (Raleighwx on Twitter) said a lot of central NC stayed sleet most of the night. Maybe a glimpse at our future?
-
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate that it’s 14 FREAKING DEGREES and puking snow
-
Heavy snow meso #blessed
-
By my 7am measurement, I think we’ll be very close to “fuck you nam” territory…yup.
-
Eyeballing 4” with heavy snow. Small flakes but lots of them. Will measure and do a snowboard wipe at 7am.
