52 degree high today, 57 degree high tomorrow... spring watch is on!
-
Hearing pingers in Germantown.
-
Honest to god heavy snow in Germantown. Wow this event is going to overperform.
-
Well this is a pleasant surprise. Snowing pretty good in Germantown and the roads are caved.
-
Despite the frustrations of this winter, I will hand it one thing. I have had snow cover since Jan 30 and this is by far the longest time I’ve experienced with some white on the ground.
-
My parking lot is an absolute glacier right now and it's just been hilarious all day today. I love these kinds of events where the ice just sticks around forever and creates all kinds of a mess.
-
There are dozens of people pickaxing through the glacier he created last night blocking cars in.
-
LOL. People are mutinying against the snow plow in my parking lot right now hahahaba
-
I'm getting some light freezing drizzle in Germantown. Not much on radar though. I hope all of you have shoveled already - this stuff has settled and is now basically packed ice that cannot be shoveled. The plows created these ice mountains in front of cars - I feel so bad for them tomorrow lol...
-
also, something really neat, I've had snow on the ground since Jan 30... That's really cool.
-
This sleet bomb is going to last forever here... Like there was 0 lost to melting or sun burning it off today. It's kind of awesome.
-
Covid cases will go down, vaccines will be up, and sundresses will be back in style. AH I can't wait. Cherry blossoms!!!!
-
LOL YES! They plowed! Oh my god I feel bad for these folks but when this sleet bomb hardens tonight, it's going to be impossible to get through it. I quickly shoveled the sleet bank away from my car's path.
-
For those of us with straight sleet it’s weird too. It’s like shoveling millions of extremely tiny glass beads.
-
Yup hahahaha I was actually hoping they would to see the hilarity that ensues. The sleet banks they make end up crusting into straight ice and trapping all the cars. Looks like they learned their lesson.
-
They haven't even bothered to plow my parking lot. It's gonna be nasty when this all turns to concrete.
-
Same, I'm having a blast with this storm either way. I have mountains of frozen ball bearings that still having been cleared from the parking lot and have not melted a single bit.
-
A couple years ago, someone asked "If you know you're going to meet climo snow totals, would you rather it come in one or two big storms, or 6-8 small ones?" I think I firmly know where I stand on this now.
-
Same in germantown. Nothing on the radar though.
-
Seeing people who usually post Kuchera start posting 10:1s was enlightening
-
Just remeasured, and I got 2.5" of sleet in the parking lot. It collected there a bit easier. Brush your cars off and shovel around them now. This stuff gets ridiculous to maneuver around and will cake onto everything for days.
-
All correct, except one thing: Kuchera maps in THIS storm were actually more reasonable, including on NAM.
-
I don't know about QPF, but I know had I listened to the NAM for my backyard in every other event this year, I never would have been disappointed. For this one, I followed it closely the entire time and love that I did because it seems I'm the only one happy today and not upset lol.
-
This stuff is a pain in the butt to shovel. Like shoveling millions of tiny slippery ball bearings.
