lpaschall Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Was ripping in Westminster. Now down in Owings Mills just a dusting and light snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 For those waiting, the change from sleet to snow comes really fast. Also, within minutes it's good, dendritic flakes and not fast-falling wet clumps, despite surface temp of 33-34. So much for that NAM layer - the temps must be real nice upstairs.

nj2va Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 same here, but it's close! It's close; I'm right off 395/King Street and sleet started about 10ish minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peribonca Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The rain washed away all the sand/salt that had been covering the roads from these previous storms… that probably explains quick road stickage. Sleeting in Petworth 34F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionWeatherWx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Kind of impressive how fast the snow is accumulating to the roads there in MD. Enjoy guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hosj III Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Woke up at 6:30 and it was 33.8. Down to 32.7 Snow sticking to sleet foundation everywhere.... I'd wager that the sleet helped us. No way we'd get instant road accum after being 40 all of yesterday and last night without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can end up with higher ratios than expected. That's a big wild card with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
