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.

January 24-26: Miracle or Mirage JV/Banter Thread!
WxUSAF replied to SnowenOutThere's topic in Mid Atlantic
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.

Waking up to check accumulation, flake quality, and rates -
Put down the tropicaltidbits everyone!

@psuhoffmani definitely went the chickenshit hedging route. Leaned euro but hedged lower. So basically as long as 12z/18z NAM doesn’t verify verbatim (or worse jesusallahbuddah save us), I should be able to hit the low end range I gave. eta…RGEM deathbands us to hell before the flip. Such dark digital blue it’s almost black!

Having the euro as the snowiest model is certainly better than our usual situation! Wish we didn’t have the NAM threatening us lol -

Gotta thumpy thump between 3-10am. That’s the whole ballgame. -
Good luck folks. Hope you all stay safe!
