Sleet in Alexandria

[JakkelWx]

Im okay. Saw 2 power flashes as i was standing outside. I could see the wall of rain coming in even in darkness, hearing a roar at the same time in the distance. Started raining and went inside, was a fun 5 mins. no damage MBY, and it looks like its just straight line winds on radar.

Snow in Hanover, but the back end is close. Just another reminder how this winter was a disappointment with snow.

Could this have been the June 4, 2008 event?

Might very well have been, it was a long time ago but in that timeframe.

@CAPEtornado warning near you

Lost power. Was pretty drunk and went to bed. The wind was crazy with lots of branches falling. I'll assess(later) in the morning. Back to bed.

[GreyHat]

Magnolia Felton Delaware 13 & Irish hill rd no power  trees down, power  crews out.

1020 p.m. tornado warnings, where in the basement. Wife and daughter heard the wind and I told them that what a tornado sounds like. I don't know if one hit, but scared the shit out of me. 

There cutting trees on all the back roads.  Power trucks all over. Will see what it looks at day break when I go home from work.

Don’t know exactly what wind gusts IMBY were but I wouldn’t doubt severe verifying level. Not sure I ever heard a thunder clap or saw lightning yesterday despite 2 STWs. Heard sleet on the window around 11-1130.

Seeing some pic of social media of damage near Camden & Federica that looks very tornado like. I'm thinking at least one of those warnings may verify. 33 this morning! lol, March gonna March

That place is so weird lol. That steady roar of the wind ripping through the trees last night was wild. It's been since Sandy since I've heard a steady roar like that. I haven't been out yet but I need hear chainsaws in the distance. That made the event for me. I love the little things. Give me a lion roar front and I'm happy. I'm a simple man.

The wind was ripping last night. Rattling my aging storm windows in a way we haven't heard for a bit on the second floor. Glad I don't have any big trees in my yard. We kill it with wind

[TSSN+]

Driving down 15 to Frederick and the mountain tops are all covered white. 

[adelphi_sky]

I would have shared the gust at my house, but I need a subscription on my weather station to keep any data past midnight.   My ambient net station's wind speed propeller broke off when it fell off the roof. lol.  

If I win the Mega Millions, Davis Vantage Pro2 Wireless weather station for everyone! 

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Unlike the winds, rainfall was not impressive: only 0.24” total.

South Mountain off 340 is white too.  Now let's see if we can pull off one more snow event next week...

[Eskimo Joe]

Incredible. I helped install this station too! You can see it from US 50 by the fire department.

PHI NWS sending survey teams to Kent Co, MD for possible tornado damage.

0.5" snow here in Round Hill and Berryville

Drove through Bluemont last night, maybe a couple of inches where Rt 7 and 601 meet

[EastCoast NPZ]

.32" from the first round and .64" from last night.  Not much wind fortunately.   Snow fell for about an hour last night with no accumulation.  Mountains are white this morning though.  Much needed rain, at least.

[katabatic]

Ended up with a really nice snowfall. 4.5" as of 10 AM. Occasional light snow continues with the temp in the upper teens. What's really nice is this put me above 100" for the season!
