LongRanger Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 no HowCow plows in the hoods west of BWI yet, which is just as well since clearing roads now would only expose them to the ice to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This is one for the memory books - this kind of sleet falling in these temps on half a foot of snow. What a stunning storm. So damn glad not dancing with the dry slot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetbulbs88 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This is by far the best sleetstorm I've ever experienced. Way better than 2017 NYC, and not just because that was a busted mega-HECS. The rates are almost better than the snow from this morning. Absolutely dumping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATECH Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 5.0 of snow sleet. Snow board is useless, everything just bounces off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 as someone who remembers the several inches of sleet we got in PD2 in C'ville - this shit is not gonna melt for a long time. So that is the one plus side of sleet. The water content is much higher than snow lol. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imgoinhungry Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Sleet up to Harrisburg per the Central PA forum. Didn't think that would happen. Nam humiliated all the globals, and probably some mesos too.Think im just looking at the euro a few days out and then the nam in the 24 hours up to onset. Ignoring everything else. .

I can't imagine the crust if we get freezing rain in the teens. I think an auger style would chop it right up vs a brushless but report back! I am still surprised how heavy the first 5" were and at the drifting before the sleet took over. This is an impressive amount of sleet. The trails i carved out for the tyke to sled are all but gone.

wxdude64 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 hour ago, wxdude64 said: And looks like I'm headed for that dry slot in about 45 minutes or so. If it hits I'll measure. Currently 12.0/9.0 with sleet still falling. So measured right at noon, 1.5 inches of new sleet. We had a small 20 minute break where we went back to a snizzle, but the sleet with some snow grains mixed in has returned. Currently 13.3/9.9 at noon. The snow still being compacted by the sleet, 5.0 currently OTG and untouched snowboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 13 minutes ago, mattie g said: I walked outside like 10 minutes ago and there f’ing CHUNKS of sleet coming with diminished visibility. I’m guessing that there are small flakes/needles in there, which is bringing the viz down and helping with accumulation just a bit. Same thing happening here. After a lull earlier its been sleeting hard and definitely some needles mixed in. Visibility almost as low as it was earlier when it was all snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
