Jebman Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 1 minute ago, TowsonWeather said: Made 7 inches in Towson before the flip, and it's been pouring sleet basically ever since. I haven't bothered measuring the sleet, but I shoveled the driveway right before the flip and there's at least 2 inches of compacted sleet now back covering it. One thing I will say about this high volume of sleet - it can be misleading. The weight means it isn't piling up on deck railings and other typical spots we are used to eyeballing to get a sense of rough snow depth - but it IS piling up in some weird places. I have some snow/sleet "drifts" just off my back porch that are well over a foot deep. Higher than my tall boots - and ask me how I found THAT out. There's nothing quite like getting a ton of sleet real good in your boots from a pile snow/sleet that's too damn deep for your boots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDSnow93 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 hour ago, ErinInTheSky said: It is sleet STORMING out here in Gaithersburg. An absolute shellacking of a sleet downpour. I've never seen anything like it. I measured 7" in multiple spots near my girlfriend's place in Gaithersburg at 1:00, with the top inch being sleet.

Really hoping we can hold off the zr until dry slot IAD has been at 16 or 17F for the past 4 1/2 hours now. Just reluctant to rise. 16F for the 3pm hourly ob there.

T. August Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3:00PM obs in Havre de Grace: 21/18 (big spike in temp) and an additional .4” of sleet bringing the total to 8.7”. Admittedly, this total is probably low since it’s a disaster to measure. @Kay any measuring insight lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyHat Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'm waiting till it's done before cleaning the driveway and sidewalks. That's because I don't want the ice on the concrete. I figured with the powder beneath all that sleet will be better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harv_poor Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3 minutes ago, Fozz said: 9 minutes ago, notvirga! said: I’d say 9” inches in Owings mills. 6.5 of snow and then 2.5 of sleet so far. I’d say that’s how the 10” Cockeysville measure might make sense. Probably cleared the snow and then added the sleet total. I am about 5-10 minutes South to SW of Cockeysville and my accumulations are akin to Owings Mill. My ruler says about 8.5 -09 inches on the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 6" snow, 2.5" sleet in Gaithersburg so far. I'm definitely breaking 3, and almost certainly will end somewhere around 4" if those returns west fall as sleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeg0305 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'm waiting till it's done before cleaning the driveway and sidewalks. That's because I don't want the ice on the concrete. I figured with the powder beneath all that sleet will be better. I’d clear it all now. It’s going to sleet for a few more hours before turning the fza. Once it’s does it will feel like concrete and weigh as much for sure. I guess it depends on where you live on when the change happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wawarriors4 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Roads are atrocious around Stafford/Fredericksburg. Some of the heaviest Sleet I’ve ever seen.

caviman2201 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I thought I'd be upset at lack of snow but this sleet is impressive and interesting enough that I'm not even mad... It's shocking how hard it's sleeting Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
