WEATHER53

You accumulated 9.5 but that compacted to 6.5

6” snow then 3” sleet which surpasses my 2.5 from 1994 9” storm total

At 6pm I now have 3” of sleet with a slight glaze recently preceded by 6” of snow to total 9”

I got some kind of shimmering stuff slowly sifting down amidst the sleet

My ruler says 8.5” and that’s about 6-6.5 snow and 2-2.5 sleet 19F

I don’t think the sleet balls will ever clump together as it’s 20 or less so nothing slick about them and there won’t be for days

Speaking of furnaces my gas fired is set at 71 and on for 12 minutes then off for 15 and repeat cycle. How about others?

All those emphatic I’m out statements made last night. Right now the DC beltway region and 30 miles in any direction is ranging 4” minimum , 6-8” generally and 9” max. It’s been bone dry sleeting at0.5”ph for 5+ hours and continuing This is a 8.5-9 on scale of 10 weather event

2pm update 2” of accumulated sleet since I cleared board at 10am bringing my total to 8.5”. 20F

Wed or Thurs

Looks like 6” Kemp Mill and now sleeting and 17F

2:30 am nap time sign off 1”. 18F

1/3rd inch since 12 midnight onset . Moderate to heavy rates but small flakes

I’ve got heavy rates but small flakes so when they get big it’s 1”ph . It’s weird as you go out and can’t see much accumulation but walk on it and you hear and feel it

Thank goodness this wasn’t a 3/4 am stsrt , By 3/4 we should be able to rest a bit .
