Been out sledding with the kids in a 21 degree sleet bomb, this has been really fun.

3.3” and we’ve flipped to all sleet.

14/-10

I have one more obs question for anyone who knows. I know from this morning that snow and sleet are reported together, but freezing rain / ice accretion is reported separate. Once we flip to ZR, should I take a snow/sleet measurement and clear the board, rather than wait for the usual 6-hour interval? Tried to search this online but didn't get a clear answer. It wasn't clear to me what to do if we go to snow -> ZR -> back to snow and when we should measure. This is the first legit mixing event I've ever tried to officially measure, so I want to make sure I'm getting this right.

I actually didn’t know this- I was wondering how I was going to report it. Thanks!

They should change the map title to 'expected snowfall and sleetfall' (is that even a word?)

This seems a little bullish for southern MD, unless it's also including sleet. I hope they're right anyway.

Off topic, but I don't think I've ever seen someone get ten different reactions to a post before. That's gotta be a record. I clicked on 'clap' just to make it eleven.

Amazing sunset IMBY right now

I don’t think I’m beating my snow total from Jan. 6 last year (11.6”). We’re on the wrong side of this like Feb. 2014 I think.

I agree. I know the NAM sucks at this range but it's showing exactly how we often fail IMBY with these types of setups (like Feb 2014). I'm still (mostly) wishcasting for the GFS, though trusting it is probably even dumber than trusting the NAM at this point.

I’m not liking the potential for significant ice followed by brutal cold; makes me think of 1994.

If the storm comes further north, @Bob Chill may get the foot of ice he’s always wanted.

I am tracking a potential HECS in this same house exactly ten years later (but with three more kids this time lol). Time is a flat circle (IYKYK).

I know I'm gonna forget a bunch of people, but here goes: @csnavywx who is the best with SOMD climo. @MillvilleWx for being extremely knowledgeable and also one of the nicest posters on here. @RodneyS for knowing all the stats and for taking the snow contest off my hands. Same for @Roger Smith who helped me a lot with that too back in the day. @WxWatcher007 for reaping me many times, also one of the nicest posters on this forum. @George BM for always liking my posts when no one else does @Jebman for being the biggest weenie ever, and for his legendary rant at a New Englander over a decade ago. @Wxdavis5784 for your bold act of self-sacrifice years ago; your leaving the region has brought SOMD untold numbers of MECS. @EastCoast NPZ for helping me choose which cacti to get in my yard whenever we find a place to move to in the Shenandoah Valley. Everyone who has posted with me in the SOMD / Eastern shore forum (too numerous to mention).
