No model had freezing rain for us. None.

No, but the much-ridiculed NAM once again lead the way on this. What a winter it has had. You can take the GFS, HRRR, and Euro and throw them in the trash can.

I'm sitting at 25 with a mix of sleet and freezing rain. Seems to go to all sleet in heavier bands. This is probably the most frustrating winter I can remember. At least some previous winters, you just closed the blinds and took the loss and took your lumps because you were coming off a run of really good winters. The amount of time I've spent tracking essentially nothing this winter makes me understand why Bob Chill stepped away.

26 and rain before daybreak. Guess we will see what a legit ice event looks like in the corridors.

It sure would be nice if the precip were a bit heavier now while the column is still good. Just stuck my head out the door and it's all snow, but mostly light to at times moderate.

Temp is 26.

My temp is 25 in Clarksburg!  heavier the precip got, it changed to rain from Sleet!!! how is that possible?

If this were to stay all frz, what is anyone best guess for how much ice we are facing? I've lost track of what total precip is expected, if you cut out snow and sleet.  It's clearly all rain now in downtown dc, and you can see it already starting to build up on the streets and sidewalks.

Yeah, still don’t agree with all the NAM hot taeks. It missed the synoptic setup badly.

10z: 27F/23, light mix, 80/20 PL/SN--, 1.0"

Rates vary quite a bit; showery, from ++ to - every five to ten mins.

11z: 26F/25, light mix, 80/20 PL/ZR, 1.2"

 

The meso analysis that dec pic posted is relevant at least afa precip changing back from 90% ZR to 80-90% PL an hr or so later imby

Anyone in Front Royal / Strasburg/ etc under the heavy stuff? If so, what’s falling?

I’m in south leesburg. All sleet. 7caefb74cf6caaba4ccde35165552fdb.jpg

It's still snow in the Winchester area. But I am eyeing those returns to my south as well. If that is snow we are getting buried. But I would bet it's sleet. 3.2 inches so far.

Snow 23 degrees.
