eyewall

Smoking cirrus in Raleigh on the 18z GFS.

The setup is classic Miller A for this one with a more east based airmass to work with so I think the Miller B risk is low.

GFS is a very slight tick west but not really indicative of anything yet. It is also a bit more intense this run.

It was a fun storm to experience for sure. Time for me to head back to Raleigh. Hopefully we get one solid snow there before the season ends so I don't have to go anywhere lol.

Way too early for this. First call: High shear low cape thunderstorm event

WRAL busted hard in this event. They definitely pretty much took the Euro's ice totals verbatim when they initially called for up to an inch of ice. They are a shell of their former selves.

yes. I am in Sterling right now.

Looks like it trying to go back to snow here right now.

The 18z Sounding where I am

yep still heavy sleet.

9 times out of 10 I find that ZR underperforms.

5 inches of snow and now at least 2 inches of sleet so far here in Sterling, VA. It is a true sleet bomb and still going.

Thank you! I had a few minutes to sneak out of work and lucky to grab it. I am thankful for an AWD vehicle.

Thank you! It hit me when I pointed down and I was like oh yeah I need to get this! Also Dulles is reporting heavy snow and I am not far from there and seeing nothing but sleet.
