I'm down. If I'm not diving my kids for a pre-sleet sledding session, I'm free - haha.

Aye - need to lift a pint with you all at some point!  It was a hard road lol!

[Scraff]

Looking out there now. Still pouring white gold! Making a run for 6”. Also—might need to make a run to the liquor store. The double mini bottles of Kahlua in my current cup of coffee has cleaned me out there. Booooooooooooo. Oh wait. I could do bourbon and coffee? Or Is that gross? 
 

ETA: Sitting at 5.5” here. Stacking up quickly. Keep it coming!

1.1" last hour.  5.9" storm total.  Dumping.

8 plus looks like a great bet here now!

[astarck]

It’s fighting. Heavy sleet but snow working back in here in southern Arlington.

This will be me when we transition to sleet.

 

I want 5" of glaciation. I want more sleet accums than snow accums. lol.

Clarksburg, MD @8:00am +SN  6.8"

[balltermen]

90% sleet. 5.5" 

NAM did good with the warm nose. 13z.  The other models didn't catch on until later or not at all.  There were a couple runs with an 11z warm but it still was a legit red flag.  it was awful on everything else 

[CAPE]

Still all snow here. Just cleaned the front steps off with the leaf blower before it gets sleety. Right at 5" now.

[baltosquid]

Just measured a hair under 6” on the deck table, which certainly is too close to the house (back deck, not rooftop) to get ideal accumulation. Given that, and the snow we still have left, I think it’s safe to say… the drought is over. Can we do 7?? Probably not, but… let’s see.

[87storms]

Very inspiring seeing a change back to snow even if rate-dependent. Usually when it flips it’s wraps.

[Ajb]

5” on the ground, er, deck. Very sleety, near DTSS. 

[WxMan1]

Just a hair over 5" in Crofton MD, no pingers yet, but probably within the hour based on the CC trends. 

[ErinInTheSky]

Gaithersburg 5.5" of snow, SN+ right now.

No sleet. Some mix between rimed snow and regular snow.

We'll definitely get above 6, may even reach for 7-8 depending on how long that sleet can be held at bay.

[WxUSAF]

4.2" at IAD, 4.1" at BWI, and 3.3" at DCA as of 7am

I grew up in EC. Really miss that place for snow. Excellent location on that little hill. 

[CAPE]

Heavy band moving through now with big flakes- might be about to mix with sleet.

Still 15

Aleet! It’s sleet. And it’s better than rain in Georgetown.

Probably warming aloft from the primary low to your west. Once the coastal gets going and tracks inside the benchmark, I'll be fucked lol.

[87storms]

There is an underrated aspect to sleet, and it’s a lot better than freezing rain. 

[katabatic]

It's 4.1 degrees with moderate sleet. Not a flake to be found. Guess this answers the question about the warm nose west of the Allegheny Front.

If we can hold back the sleet until ~10am, it's going to be damn close.  Past 10am and 8"+ is a near-lock.

Wasn’t IAD at 5.1”? Or did they correct it down?

[LeesburgWx]

13 degrees, 5 inches so far, and currently ripping snow

[T. August]

Measured 4.4” at 7:30 in Havre de Grace. Dumping sand, no fatties. Will go measure in another 25 but looks to be over 5”.
