Boxing Day Ice Ice Baby!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the last time the inner burbs/DC really did well in a sleet bomb was like... March 2018? Or was that 2017?  I recall playing with my kid in a thick crust of pellets.

Anyway, I'll believe the ice accums when I see what temps are around my neck of the woods on Friday during the day.

Trying to head out of town Sat AM... will be a slushy passable mess by then on our always busy roads, I'm sure.

I don't recall that exactly...but I do remember sometime around then we were "supposed" to get a sleet bomb and it wasn't much of anything.  The last legit one I remember actually getting was the Valentine's Day 2007 storm, we just missed out on heavy snow and got like 3" sleet (areas to the east/southeast of DC got serious ice), which froze into a block of ice right afterward.

Ya I lived in Greencastle pa for that event and had like 4-5” of sleet and sleet piles like 2 feet tall from it rolling off the roof.

Yes, I was in Harrisburg PA for that. We got like 8" of snow then an epic glacier on top. I was in HS at the time and my school closed for a week.
