Mrs.J

I am just North of that yellow band that on the sweat side of 270. For it starting a bit much has filled in.

Light dusting on grassy surfaces here now. Steady snow looks to be setting in.

Coming up 270 from DC. Hit rain then a heavy band of flurries in NoMo County around the truck scales. Flurries continued until we got right to the South side of Frederick. Then absolutely nothing. Wet roads but by the time we worked our way to my neighborhood the roads are still dry and crusted over with salt. Should have known the weather hole I live in would not disappoint.

Thanks! We have reservations at 6:30. Should be home well before midnight.

I am seeing conflicting start times. It is the oldest Ms J’s birthday today and we are headed into DC this evening for dinner. Guess we will have to watch driving home.

We just got back from Atlanta tonight. Expected it to be really cold but honestly the 40 and damp down there was worse than the 32 and dry up here.

So we have been down in GA since Thursday. Have based at my IL’s in NE GA but went to Atlanta yesterday to see other family. It is cold raw and damp down here. And after getting back to their house this afternoon my FIL said he said that they got some snow dusting in their yard overnight. Let’s just say we did not come down for the weather but misjudged just how cold it would be.

Can confirm. Kid in DC cold rain. Frederick for me currently sleet/ freezing rain. Kid up in Carlisle PA just showed a FT video of it puking down snow. She said about 3” on the ground now. She is thinking they will be on the higher end of the 3-6 prediction for her area.

So my rain gauge stoped recording rain at 5:14 am with .22" recorded up to that point I just ventured out into the slop to see if I could see why it stopped. The funnel was filled with sleet. And I am guessing the inner dip spoon is frozen. So I can say that at 5:14 am today is the point where I switched over from just rain to sleet/freezing rain. I cleaned the funnel out but that probably was not worth it as it will just fill back up.

After closer inspection of the trees we do in fact have ice up here.

From kid in PA

I am getting reports from both kids. The one in DC is not happy with her cold rain. Meanwhile the one up in Carlisle PA just found out her campus is closed today. And here in Frederick Co I just checked and FCPS MD is closed. My weather app says light freezing rain here. But I am sure up in the mountains it is more than that. ETA with no kids in FCPS anymore just found out the reason for no 2 hr delay was today is an early dismissal day. So would not have made sense to do a delay only to send the kids back home.

Ah, I see white stuff flying around here.

Well surprise surprise. Just got a downpour all be it short. Had 1/4” hail with it. 0.16”.

.49 for the day. Had about a hour of some solid rain coming down.
