"Unknown Precip" = We don't know what is falling from the skies at PAX at this point, but its something!"

I gotta admit, this is an impressive sleet fest.

I have complete ice coverage here too now, even on the roads. It’s heavy freezing rain here. Edit: actually it looks like more sleet than rain now.

Freezing rain is starting now here.

It stopped doing anything here over an hour ago.

Wow- how much do you have? Maybe this did well in St Mary’s then.

It stopped already here Guess I’ll go measure.

So glad I stopped investing in storms- people need to accept that this is a 10/11 repeat, which means 1) it will snow everywhere but the Mid-Atlantic, and 2) every forecasted storm here will bust.

I got woken up by a sleet bomb

I'm going to be leading by Friday morning- just FYI

I’m already punting the Thursday system (unless someone has a compelling reason why I should care).

Updated:

Tried posting the excel file directly but it didn’t work right- I’ll just keep using screenshots then. I have a new and improved visual design for you all which will debut tomorrow

So... bad news. I was at my file limit on this site and deleted all my stored pictures, not realizing that doing that also apparently deletes the pictures within your posts. So none of the previous leaderboard images work now. So I'm just reposting the last one. (I know there's more snow from the PNS reports, but I'll update tomorrow). Good news though- I found an easier way to compile my spreadsheet every time. Airport totals will now also be displayed at the top within the image (don't ask me why I never thought of doing this before).

A bird perched on top my frozen Dogwood. He hadn't moved, so for awhile I was concerned he had become part of the accretion

The Camellia has grown tentacles- send help

This has been all rain here except on a few metal surfaces like railings there's some light ice accumulation. We can't even do an ice storm properly here now (which I'm thankful for, at least).

The woods behind my house, 4am yesterday, right after the snow ended

3/1/15 IMBY

Light rain here but doesn't seem to be freezing on the roads and sidewalks (so far).

Took this yesterday in my yard.

I’m still laughing about DCA getting snow deleted- when your airport sucks so bad you actually have negative snow accumulations now.

I actually have videos of the January 94 ice storm- my brother and I are attempting to sled, and my parents are sliding all over the place trying to walk in the yard. No one can get up the hill to slide, we just jump on the sled and slide across the flat areas of the yard. It’s pouring freezing rain in another video with everything encased in ice.

I was growing up in Glen Burnie for the '94 ice storms- I know there were several, but the big one for us was the January one followed by the "Big Chill of '94" which made it impossible to clear the ice or even leave the house. I was off school for almost two weeks. The big one in Southern MD and the Eastern shore was in February, which was even worse from what I read (it actually got a federal disaster declaration).

I was gonna say... you’re looking really good now.
