North Balti Zen Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 My son says a little over an inch at the house. Thrilled with this for a lid lifter on the season. Some stickage to streets in downtown Balt and sidewalks definitely...caved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleet is going to pack it down so that's probably all she wrote for my yard. Your bar before your bar was the correct bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 On 11/13/2018 at 5:55 PM, Bob Chill said: All models today are so borderline witb mid level temps that it's nearly impossible to have confidence. The optimistic side of the coin is snow moves in hot and heavy and lasts a little longer than expected before mixing. Pessimistic side of the coin is mid levels don't support any snow at onset and it's just a bunch of sleet before rain. Surface temps are no different. The euro had the 32 line straddling the beltway. That's pretty cold man. If the column does support snow and the surface is at or below freezing then it could be winter wonderland very quickly for everyone along and west of 95. The basic climo side of the argument says prepare to be disappointed except in the preferred zones where climo isn't so hostile. Lastly is precip amounts... this is a juiced up storm with upper level support. Rates look to come in hot and heavy with the WWA piece. So whatever the precip type is its going to mean business from onset until sometime in the early afternoon. Gun to head.... Winchester-Mt airy-Parkville line will get 3-5" of various frozen precip types. Burbs and beltway crews in the 1-3" range if everything breaks right but T-2" is prob a better call. Fairfax county schools will be closed even if its all rain. Looks like I'm going to bust low in the NW zones but not a bad WAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 about 3" at my work, just south of winchester. really adding up fast. looks like about double what is at my house, 2 miles to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaWx Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 If this is the sleet line it looks to be in a hurry. Starting to hear pings as it’s right on my doorstep. Or maybe the wind picked up and is hitting the snow against the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Still straight heavy snow in Germantown. I went from 2" to 3" in a half hour, I anticipate easily breaking 4" if things don't change very quickly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Pretty amazing storm for mid-November for this region. I am really impressed by how long the snow held on and stuck to all surfaces even in the middle of the day. A good omen for the rest of the winter.

clskinsfan Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Need to put up a forcefield to keep that sleet to the south of me. NWS changed my forecast to 2-6 inches.

Total sleet and snow accumulation of 2 to 6 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 This band does appear to be pingers, so that should do it. Exciting start, but a bit disappointing here given the obs all around me and the fact that this big band is not snow, but happy for all of you that cashed in on the better returns. Going to hope we get a lot of sleet the rest of the afternoon. Pretty wild start to winter, except it's only the halfway mark of November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't here in 95 and I was in Frostburg in 87 so I missed Vet day. Very nice Nov event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
