Vik Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Sleet sounds like a rainstorm (but is sleet). There's a dull sheen on the street now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Interesting sleet in Owings Mills but not Germantown. Something about the bay water? Seems like the sleet line raced up central maryland just west of the bay (AA,Hoco, Balt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No model had me that cold at any point overnight. Still not the same of course but it's pretty damn cold all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, if we get the liquid we are expecting in the form of sleet, even then this will be a storm to remember. It would be really interesting. HRRR seems really bullish on the liquid. Has there ever been a storm even close to the 2"+ that's supposed to fall in sleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I am guessing that sleet is not 1:1 ratio... what is it normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulythegun Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Haha is anyone in this forum NOT seeing sleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Most sleet I've seen was PD-II and Feb 2007, both around 3" (maybe a bit more in PD-II, can't remember exactly). Would be kind of amazing to approach or top that tonight. But would be nice to add a few inches of snow on top tomorrow if we can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Moderate to heavy sleet right now - no ZR. I'd estimate that since the sleet began, it smashed the snowpack down and it has accumulated half an inch deep. Someone stated that if we sleet with this monster storm, we might as well do it BIG. Well, we might get sleet measured in the multiple INCHES. Just consider all the moisture that Atlantic Behemoth is throwing at North Carolina right now! Streets are getting covered in the sleet, it is piling up and the sleet pack is also freezing some due to the recent ZR. RAP give me 2.5 inches of qpf - anyone care to calculate how much sleet that is? We just might have to arrange a sleet football game right here in Glendale in Dale City. We aint gonna be playing touch tag, its gonna be full contact tackling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 http://chart.maryland.gov/map/fullscreenmap.html This is an easy way to see what its doing across MD. Traffic moving fine down near the wilson bridge, to snow packed i-83 near parkton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Sleet looks to have pushed north of Mt Airy. I'm sure they'll flip back fairly quick during the pivot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstate Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 is the last HRRR has Baltimore go from 2.5 to 6.5 in hour 2 and 3... I know that it is not going to do that... but that is some QPF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Somehow the kids and I got sledding in from 12-12:30 in snow. Fun stuff! Pingin and pongin like a second after we got inside though. Ok. Ready to switch back to snow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshfsu123 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I just dropped another degree, down to 27 degrees now. I'm suppose to be 31 atm according to most forecasts. The sleet is coming in waves, heavy, but looks like a big band of yellows is about to push into the DC area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
