showmethesnow Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Unbelievable the extent of the mixing we have seen with this storm. Even here we are now mostly sleet with a few snowflakes thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Two inches of snow and a boatload of sleet since 2AM. Hrrr says I stay sleet for several more hours before a narrow band of snow sets up over the 95 corridor for several hours into the afternoon. I'm not expecting much out of daytime snow this time of the year but it would be nice to freshen up the skating rink outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 If you watch the CC radar, I think you can see the sleet line change orientation as the coastal bombs out. Hopefully it starts moving east QUICK! I highlighted it in green below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Sleeted all night in Germantown. It was hard to sleep with the wind blowing that stuff into the siding and windows. Looks like about 3.5" or so (LWX PNS has a 3" ob from Germantown at 3:55 am so that's probably about right). Really hoping for a nice period of snow later but I doubt we get more than a dusting. What a gut punch after 8-12" predicted soon before the start. If only that damn low had bombed just a little east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Everything covered in snow. Looks liked they plowed the local roads overnight. Looks like we had some freezing rain over. There is a buildup on the trees and power lines. It appears sleet/rain currently falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOS5ftw Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Really dumping sleet in that 30 dBZ band centered near I95 - tracks I made 30 minutes ago have already filled in. Temp continues to drop too. eta: Looking at how much the bamboo in the backyard in bending over, loooks like we had some ZR accumulation but not much (maybe 0.1")?

clskinsfan Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The whole orientation of the precip field is kind of weird with this storm. It seems like it is tilted in a more N/S direction. Normally with the storms current position I would expect to see banding pushing in from the east instead of from the west like it os now. An interesting storm regardless. 27/27.

I also see from reports here and at DCA that surface temperatures are dropping. Think we can hold or continue that trend? Expand Between the dynamic cooling from vigorous synoptic-scale lift to the low starting to pivot east, I think it'll be enough to at least hold surface temps steady for time being. Sun coming up soon makes it tough to keep dropping, at least until Arctic air drops south and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you change back to snow soon. Expand It is what it is. I expected a little bit of sleet but not this much. I won't see much more in terms of accumulation once the sun is up. Places west and north into PA are doing quite well. Saw a report of 8" in Frederick. 10" up in Harrisburg PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 4.5" on my deck table. I measured 2.25" of snow before it flipped to sleet. I have no idea how to measure sleet so the 4.5" is just whatever has piled up. It is pouring sleet right now. You dont even sink into the stuff that you walk on. I guess it will be around for awhile.
