Ian Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Folks, use this link if you don't already have a favorite. It tells you exactly where the sleet is. Loop if for getting an idea if trajectory. Bright yellows are sleet. Easy to spot and not a worry for the vast majority of us http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=LWX-N0C-0-12 It's come north pretty well. I was a bit surprised how close it is but I never looked that hard since DCA was almost always all snow on runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 11 PM. 3rd hour in a row with snow so light it's barely visible. Doesn't look like I've picked up even a 1/2 inch in the past 3 hours. Wind blowing so hard, I doubt I could measure it anyway. i think that area is gonna start picking up soon, at least it looks that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesburg20176 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Things just aren't looking great for folks Leesburg and west. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see us recovering from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Banding structure is looking great. The warm air advection precip will pulse. There will always be subsidence between bands. Later when the cold conveyor bands start rolling in from the east they will be more stationary in nature. This storm is nothing short of jaw dropping from a met perspective. We are absolute ground zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathercoins Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not far from you in Mt Washington and same observation. This should be an awesome night. Up to 4.5" here down the road from Mt.

RichmondTarHeel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We are good...no worries I figured we would be. Been out to measure lately? I think I'm close to being over 8" now. Still just pouring the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 and people were constantly bashing ers-wxman for talking about it.I think most familiar with this area knew areas dc and east and especially south of 50/along the bay could flirt w sleet. It's happened in many big storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
