Despite the frustrations of this winter, I will hand it one thing. I have had snow cover since Jan 30 and this is by far the longest time I’ve experienced with some white on the ground.
My parking lot is an absolute glacier right now and it's just been hilarious all day today. I love these kinds of events where the ice just sticks around forever and creates all kinds of a mess.
I'm getting some light freezing drizzle in Germantown. Not much on radar though. I hope all of you have shoveled already - this stuff has settled and is now basically packed ice that cannot be shoveled. The plows created these ice mountains in front of cars - I feel so bad for them tomorrow lol...
LOL YES! They plowed! Oh my god I feel bad for these folks but when this sleet bomb hardens tonight, it's going to be impossible to get through it.
I quickly shoveled the sleet bank away from my car's path.
Yup hahahaha I was actually hoping they would to see the hilarity that ensues. The sleet banks they make end up crusting into straight ice and trapping all the cars. Looks like they learned their lesson.
Same, I'm having a blast with this storm either way. I have mountains of frozen ball bearings that still having been cleared from the parking lot and have not melted a single bit.
A couple years ago, someone asked "If you know you're going to meet climo snow totals, would you rather it come in one or two big storms, or 6-8 small ones?"
I think I firmly know where I stand on this now.
Just remeasured, and I got 2.5" of sleet in the parking lot. It collected there a bit easier.
Brush your cars off and shovel around them now. This stuff gets ridiculous to maneuver around and will cake onto everything for days.
