Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sleet continuing in Silver Spring, some accumulation of it on the sidewalks (how's that for alliteration, all those "s" sounds!). I read earlier a humorous remark asking why people bothered to put up their winshield wipers. I'm not sure if it does much, but with sleet/ice then snow, and it's supposed to be below freezing overnight, at least it might keep them from freezing to your windshield. EDIT...perhaps some wet flakes or graupel mixed in too, hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker03 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Amazing sight here at Union Station... mostly sleet and a little rain, and then there are 5 or 6 massive golfball sized flakes floating around at any given time. It looks like someone threw a couple pieces of large confetti off the roof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJField Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I read earlier a humorous remark asking why people bothered to put up their winshield wipers. I'm not sure if it does much, but with sleet/ice then snow, and it's supposed to be below freezing overnight, at least it might keep them from freezing to your windshield. I have a secret to keeping my windshield clear in this type of weather... shhhh, I'll whisper it......I keep my cars in a nice warm garage. Anyway, JUST started snowing here in Rockville. middle sized flakes. Me being a dummy almost missed it reading all the other obs coming in.
