    Had very light flurries earlier while shoveling

    I was about to post that the ridge axis out west suggests this would be a coast scraper ( @CAPE always gets a Nina Rehobeth beach storm). But these last couple runs have been inching that back giving this shortwave JUST enough room.

    ~2” liquid at all 3 airports. We actually overperformed by a healthy amount.

    1/25: 9.5” 13.8” season total
  5. WxUSAF
    9.5” is my final spotter report. And I reported a trace of ZR/FZDZ. Crusty out there. Really hard to walk through the yard
  6. WxUSAF
    6.8” I think. Haven’t seen IAD or RIC
  7. WxUSAF
    Holy shit BWI reported 11.1”! I got my ass kicked by BWI!!
  8. WxUSAF
    9.4”. Been consistently getting 0.3”/hr or more of sleet for like 9 hours. Two more hours to hit 10” total. Insane!

    Yeah I’m done for today. We’ll see how hard tomorrow is to move what’s left.
  10. WxUSAF
    Are you measuring to the individual diameter of a sleet grain?? How are you getting the ten-thousandth place!?! lol
  11. WxUSAF
    Still 90-95% sleet but my mist of snow is maybe now a mist of drizzle? Temp has dropped back 1-2F. Now 23.
  12. WxUSAF
    9” and counting. Figured I had no chance at double digits when I flipped to sleet around 830-9am, but maybe? Lol. Already 3” of sleet. Bonkers. It’s turning into big chunks when you try and shovel it. Temp has jumped up past 24 in the last hour.
  13. WxUSAF
    Thats not even close to ZR
  14. WxUSAF
    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...
  15. WxUSAF
    Lol wish I knew. I’m tapped out too
  16. WxUSAF
    Doubt Norrisville ever turned to sleet. Expect they’re pushing 16” by now?
  17. WxUSAF
    7.7” total. Not quite to 2” of sleet but should get there in another hour-ish
  18. WxUSAF
    7.2" total. 0.3" sleet last hour.
  19. WxUSAF
    Been wondering about this. Huge scale is going to push it up the NESIS scale.
  20. WxUSAF
    @wxmvpete spot on here with NAM getting the mix timing pretty well. But under doing precip before changeover.
  21. WxUSAF
    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.
  22. WxUSAF
    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.
  23. WxUSAF
    @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?
  24. WxUSAF
    6.5” total. Sleet and needles
  25. WxUSAF
    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.
