9.2 inches of snow.

 

Dale City now has a heavy snow/sleet mix. We shall see where the battle goes.

 

Will the snow win, or will the sleet win?

 

Welcome to another episode of the precipitation phase change battles.

 

Overall, I am just thrilled with this storm. Absolutely NO sarcasm intended or implied. I am beside myself with joy. This storm overperformed. I got my snow, and then some.

Makes perfect sense, we've been sleet for a long time here... have about five inches or so.

 

As far as I know, Falls Church hasn't changed.

 

Yeah... this makes sense from the latest PIS from LWX... not.  6 in Alex and 11 in Falls Church... yeah okay

10.8" is aggressive, the 10.0" and 9.0" are solid.  I just got about 9.5" in my backyard spot, probably would be 10.0" out front.

 

Going to get a couple hours sleep before the 7am CoCoRahs measurement, including ratio. 

 

edit - I just realized that the 9.0 is my significant wx report.  LOL.  Didn't know they actually looked at those.

Well I was more pointing out the Falls Church and Alexandria 5" diff... and they are like 15 miles apart?

 

the 7" at West Springfield is mine
