H2O Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Temps stayed right at 33ish all afternoon. Mostly rain until 4 when sleet and snow started. Barely a dusting. 32.1F now. It might get icy overnight waiting and relying on snow tomorrow. We shall see. Not sure I have faith in the modeled snow yet to fall.

dukeblue219 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Unless I scrolled right past it, I'm surprised not to see any discussion on CWG holding firm with their forecast after some bullish statements earlier today about upping totals. They're definitely out on a limb with 2-5 for DC proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It’s now snowing in my part of balt city, looking at radar, hoping this is the start of it and it continues now until the unicorn magic banding appears... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Looks like some banding backing into DC proper, right now light sleet/freezing rain in Takoma Park. Beautiful night with a glaze and a dusting of sleet down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Immediate road stickage, which is nice to see. The sleet all day helped with that. its pretty, helping to calm my fears that were stoked by snokjoma’s trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
