Don't know about dc but they are much wetter overnight Sunday than they are for the daylight hours out here. Pretty bad timing on the precip all around. Less snow and more ice

 

for whatever reason we are in a better spot than you all this event...though with your temp advantage you could do ok...plus I dont know that we should commit to the progged precip maxima yet

Some may find the ice more exciting. As of the am, no ice was forecast by NWS. Not sure which station I heard it on. I just got in now, so I was wondering why you would say something in an event like this when all p-types are on the table.

Well to each his own I guess, but I don't find the prospect of no electricity and seeing trees I have cared for since they were waist high mangled and broken to be very exciting.

Yeah. We have a temp advantage. But it looks like the majority of the precip should stay SE of us. The SREFS keep the surface temps below freezing through 3Z from about Leesburg and west.

Well, I won't have to worry about my overgrown rhododendrons. This should do the trick if we get a decent amount of ice.

sleet 3:1?..we could get some heavy sleet for a bit.   i'm not sure how much zr we will get before we dry up a bit around 3-4pm?   but we could tack on up to 0.5" of sleet on of of snow..probably more like 0.3"

Is that the ratio of sleet? I dunno. Sounds about right. I haven't looked all that close post changeover. Once it's not snow it's all the same to me.. though I guess we should root for sleet to pad our snow total.

I guess looking at small moves with features like the 850 line makes it seem very variable but I was thinking the same thing.

I think   from this point we will be threading the needle with these models,   with it on top of us I don't see the models telling us a whole lot more then they have, more of a now cast now
