Herb@MAWS Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Looks like flipping back to snow slowly. Altho more like snow grains than snowflakes. Temp down to 29.2 from 5:00am high of 30.6. Not hearing sleet any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshfsu123 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ice is hanging off the trees in my yard so I'm surprised we haven't heard of more power outages yet. Roads haven't been cleared for hours, snow covered, and 3.25 inches on the ground (just went out for a measurement). Will see what the snow brings, if any more. Temp is plenty cold (29). LOL to OPM and the late arrival. Bus route doesn't come near my house because of the emergency plans so I would have to walk a mile - and the roads are covered so no cars can really safely pass. Think I'm working from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingstonian Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 2.4" of mostly sleet measured on my snow board and submitted for a spotter report just now in SSW Franconia/Kingstowne; didn't make it out to do a proper measurement before the snow flipped to sleet last night, but it wasn't much. Still light sleet here when I was out measuring. 29/29 on the nearby wxbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 lol this was a moderate bust here. just woke up and see an inch or two tops here. this was a very good reminder that we don't do complicated setups well. fringe snowstowns need good, clean setups and this wasn't one of them.

nw baltimore wx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm surprised to read the negative posts from some of you as I think this storm is playing out pretty much how most thought here on the board. I mean, yeah, we all hoped we'd somehow miraculously get a pure snowstorm, but this is definitely a high impact event, and it's surprising to me that LWX downgraded to advisories for some. Sleet is way worse than snow. Anyway, I was just outside for a bit and it's downright nasty out there. Doesn't feel anything like March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
