Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looks like mostly sleet now, but has gone back and forth between freezing rain and sleet most of the day so far. Went for a Jebslide (@Jebman, I think that's an appropriate term for a Jebwalk in ice??), kinda dangerous out on areas that weren't salted. Stayed mostly on the crunchy grass. Just eyeing it, looks like we're pushing maybe close to 0.2" accumulated on some branches I would guess. Hope to post photos when I have a chance later on at some point.

haudidoody Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Icier sleet now in Fairfax, maybe we can get some snow at some point with heavier rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeblue219 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Also, Amazon Prime is still making deliveries here if we want to use that criteria for "serious event" If they ever stop we'll know the S is hitting the F. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in Cleveland Park. Trees are encased in ice and are even being weighted down a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Not crazy icy in CHO but trees and plants definitely have a glaze on them. Cars very icy. Snow has been glacierized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was imagining that. But I am pretty sure it’s snow grains. But I don’t think that is right it just looks like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbook Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Between Oakton and Chantilly, the sleet has mixed with small, needle-shaped snow crystals. My driveway is encrusted with a thick layer of sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sleety here now too. Unless it's going over to snow give me the freezing rain back. I was enjoying watching the trees get icy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Definitely can tack on a few tenths of sleet/snow. Have to see how long this goes. Driveway getting white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Fully ice in Charlottesville, which still makes me wonder why we have the WSW with non-mixed precip and others have the ISW with mixed-precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ3 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Didn’t expect to see these minuscule snow flakes in McLean. I will consider this a win to help keep my sanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Chiming in, in upper NW cars are encased and there is growing accretion of ice on trees. I can tell untreated sidewalks are probably an invitation to a hard fall so I’ll be “enjoying” this from the inside looking out. There’s a little sleet but mostly FZRN.

clskinsfan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sleet/snow mix here in the Winchester area. 26 degrees. First precip of the event here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Arguably small snowflakes or drizzle here in Fair Oaks. Barely anything in trees. Maybe half inch of sleet accumulation packed down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHoffman Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Back to freezing rain mostly here, ice seems to be accruing way more easily now. Still haven't been outside but sidewalks and roads losing that wet look and getting that icy look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
