    This storm was the result of pushing tons of precip into extremely cold air but then it looked at our climo and said “24 inches of cold powder for DC- does not compute!!!!!” so instead we get a sleet bomb with temps in the teens and low 20’s.
  2. RevWarReenactor
    Yes! There is like a little chute that the sleet drops down every few minutes. Its fascinating.

    If we are really going to do hours of freezing rain like the HRRR says, this is going to get bad. Seems like based on early reports- we are.
  4. RevWarReenactor
    Yeah I just went and shoveled about 2 inches of sleet off the driveway, it was an entirely different ballgame than shoveling the cold powder. Felt like 5 times as heavy.
  5. RevWarReenactor
    The NAM has a pretty decent amount too. I can't imagine raining at these temps but this storm is one of a kind.
  6. RevWarReenactor
    No shocker there. They close if the wind blows wrong.

    Finally "crossed over" to pingers. Interesting aspect is that usually when we transition to sleet it knocks the snow from the trees, but since its so cold, and there was snow in the trees, that won't be happening. This is definitely a one off storm thats for sure. Also curious to know where the fr rain line is.

    Just went to sleet here in Newark Delaware 12 miles to your north. Good storm. Wish it could have stayed pure snow, but this finally broke our 10 years of no 6+ inch snowstorm. A record that held for just 1 day. Ill take it!

    Still hanging onto Snow here in Newark Delaware, but Im thinking maybe 30 mins to an hour and we are sleeting. Reports down at APG of sleet and snow mix, which is 70 miles SW of Philadelphia. 30 miles SW of me.

    Surprised to see Baltimore going back to snow. Didn't think there was going to be a fight. Figured once it was over, that was it.
  11. RevWarReenactor
    Yep, can basically see it on radar too, sleet line appears to be just south of APG, maybe edgewood, heading Northeast. I'd say maybe 30 mins to an hour. Won't be much longer for me 20 miles NE of HDG. Im happy with this storm. Would have loved a pure snow event till 10pm tonight, but this was still a good storm.

    Snow picking up, flakes getting bigger. Looks like the sleet line is down by Dover 40 miles to my south. I suspect it will be here within an hour, 2 at most. Enjoying it while it lasts. We just eclipsed 5 inches. Very close to ending the 10 year drought of no 6+ inch snowfall.
  13. RevWarReenactor
    Looks like the heavy batch heading NE up 95 is the last hurrah before the flip. This was advertised on the HRRR that it would get heavy before the flip, just feels like its about 3 hours early.
  14. RevWarReenactor
    People seemed so focused on the snow that this is getting ignored. Hopefully the models are wrong, but that could be very bad.
  15. RevWarReenactor
    Pingers in DC or is that snow? Looks like yellows moving into the beltway.
  16. RevWarReenactor
    It has the entire state of Delaware going to plain rain. I can't imagine we go above freezing and get rain, but if we do, it will soak into the snow and everything will be a block of ice and plowed surfaces will become skating rinks. That would end up being the bigger story.
  17. RevWarReenactor
    Thanks! 14 degrees. Moderate Snow. Half an inch. Looking forward to the heavier stuff. HRRR says all of Delaware flips to plain rain later today. For at least 2 hours. If that verifies, that will get ugly.
  18. RevWarReenactor
    What radar are you using if you don't mind me asking?
  19. RevWarReenactor
    Its a bit scary that Harrisonburg has already flipped and its 3am.
  20. RevWarReenactor
    ANd freezing rain on top of that. Not a catastrophic amount, but enough to be a problem.
  21. RevWarReenactor
    Its just a huge step back from the 6z. But a lot actually. Its not that its bad, its that the model has changed significantly.
  22. RevWarReenactor
    They are slowly stepping down their totals.
  23. RevWarReenactor
    Its not any better with delmarva. There was outrage last year, people ain't seen nothing yet. Im betting bills are going to easily be over $1000 a month for many. Some days its so bad, its actually cheaper to go stay in a hotel than it is to heat your house.
  24. RevWarReenactor
    Obviously I don't buy what the Euro is selling on the freezing rain, that being said, it appears as though freezing rain chances are increasing. I see it on the GFS and HRRR for sure. Not great.
  25. RevWarReenactor
    But this is morphing into a nowcasting event, short range models, and ops. I love the HRRR, wrap that baby up and call it a storm, but I don't buy it.
