AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I am getting those sled dogs ready

That is incredible. What a storm

Correct!

Yeah. It seemed like moderate to MAYBE bordering heavy for a brief time today with precip, but it mainly remained moderate for an extended time. Still a solid storm for out here. So pretty

NAM Nest is truly a solid model for thermals but it SUCKS for QPF. This is a big reason I did my forecast like I did and it seems to be working out, however probably underestimated the total sleet after the snow. These totals post flip are nuts across MD. Went a little too low.

Yup! 6E Martinsburg, WV Back home has got to be nasty. ROUGH back there. Stay warm my man

After a high of 15.6°, it has dropped back to 13.4° with sleet continuing. Absolutely incredible storm. Pushing 9” of snow and sleet

You just inspired me. Prepping some steaks and shrimp Hell yes!!

All of the sudden, I’m able to do it again. Hmmmmmm lol

That would be perfect for today. I’d do that for pot roast too

Grilling in the snow or winter weather is so much fun. Cooked steaks a few times in the cold and snow. It was fantastic. Grill keeps you warm!! Great choice on the meal. Love chicken noodle soup on cold days. Hits different.

@WxUSAF What are the odds I can get more reactions for the forum? I ran out so fast this morning which felt less than usual.

Literally a top 3 favorite dish for me of all time. I wonder if my car can make it

Both of these sound absolutely heavenly. Breakfast for dinner is so underrated. I could do it multiple times a week without hesitation.

Come on up my friend!! A plate will be ready for you

We are going to be grilling out in the elements. Have some Amish market fresh ground beef, all the fixins, brioche buns, corn, chips and homemade salsa, potato chips and dip, and two different kinds of desserts. Football on the TV and a fire in the fire place. It’s a great day

It’s crazy the amount of sleet that’s fallen after a pretty decent snowfall this morning. Have to be pushing over 8” of snow and sleet right now. It was ~6” of snow before the flip, and it’s just been constant sleet since.

Just now seeing this. This is an unbelievable shot. Great work my man!

Just cleaned up the entire driveway top to bottom between the 3 of us with shovels and I’m exhausted. But, fantastic workout!! Been constant sleet with some snow mixed in at times during the heavier precip. Easily 7.5+ inches out there and still accumulating.

Yeah, that’s us now it sounds. Mix of rimed flakes and sleet. It’s a straight winter wonderland out there

Yes! Best practice is measure the snow after it changes and then clear to measure the sleet. Make sure to mark the time of the transition, if possible. Still holding on up there according to CC. Hopefully it continues for another hour or two!

Hold the line my man!

Yup. Still snow here near Martinsburg. Rimed flakes and clumped aggregates at the moment. Sleet likely within the next few hrs I would imagine

I’m pulling for everyone to max out as best as possible. We already surpassed whatever the NAMs were showing. Just trying to capitalize on the time before the pingers begin their onslaught.

Yeah. There is a sharp gradient with the ratios with a steep climb in better ratios for north of I-70. Easily were pushing 18-20:1 in the initial part of the storm. They have come down even here recently, but it’s still probably a solid 12-15:1 for WV Panhandle across the northern tier. HRRR actually did a masterful job at showing this part on last nights runs. Very consistent. Impressed, but still have to see how the morning plays out. Fingers crossed for both of us and the northern tier that we can hang on till 11am-1pm before it definitely flips. Feel like Leonidas in Sparta saying, “HOLD” when looking at the radar lol
