Huffwx Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Sleet has won--- We had 2.6 inches when the mix started, We'll top 3 inches with sleet--which should linger for hours. But, its addition by subtraction. Maybe it helps keep the snow around longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisk84 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Roads seem fine, but it would be wise to let people go home in daylight I would think.

smokeybandit Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 About an inch so far in Odenton, MD. I left work early as not to have to deal with the native Maryland drivers and their aversion to bad weather driving....but failed. Roads are a complete mess already. I passed three accidents in my seven mile trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
