WxUSAF Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago My daughter woke up, bleary-eyed looked out the window, and eyeballed “about 6”?”. Nearly to the tenth! The genes were passed along successfully 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I hate sleet. It's going to take the damn Incredible Hulk to shovel this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Not for nothing , and I will leave this here in banter - but I am kinda fascinated by the next part of the storm - a bunch of sleet on top of this kind of base of snow with temps in the mid teens is a literal first for me in terms of weather experience. If it actually rains on top of that , well, bring it. this is an absolutely memorable storm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Also, there is gonna be a NAM fight later about its runs but I am not gonna say it killed it when it was so off on the thump and initial slug of qpf… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't pretend the NAM QPF depiction didn't scare me, but I still assumed it was running at least a bit low. The thermals, on the other hand... I set my alarm for 3am for a reason. Had little doubt pingers would be making it into the Beltway when it said they would. Globals/RGEM overdid it on QPF too, fwiw. I'd still call the NAM a winner. Maybe someone smarter will do a retrospective and the RRFS will have really nailed it, idk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS gonna be way more accurate up my way in fallston in terms of totals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlwx12 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago One of my neighbors in Arlington VA came out immediately after the changeover and started shoveling. Some snow DID get scraped off my Hill of Doom, BUT with the sleet, and freezing rain potential, the street might get up to its old tricks again.

GFS gonna be way more accurate up my way in fallston in terms of totals. Guess mileage is gonna vary here depending on spot. Most of the globals had me in the 7-9” range for snow and I’m at 5”. NAMs were usually too low but minus a really off run usually 3-4”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it was WAY too aggressive in pushing the sleet line way north early and cutting down on snow totals pre-flip. I am at six inches in Fallston and it is still pouring snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted 37 minutes ago Share Posted 37 minutes ago What a great storm to start the pattern- we usually have to let a few of these miss before we get hit in favorable windows… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
