After growing up in Ellicott City, I was shocked at how many March snowstorms hit NYC. Last year was particularly crazy, with big snows going into April.

Ha, yeah who knew the problem was going to be a dryslot and not temps aloft. Seems like we underperformed in the qpf department. Kinda disappointing finish, but it was really fun for a couple of hours this morning. Best two hours of winter I've had this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 times I’ve seen significant sleet pile up. That march 2017 storm was something else. The world around me was like a glacier. Hardest snow I've ever shoveled, all 3" of it.

I was looking forward to a 3 or 4 hour sleet bomb. I dry slotted shortly after the sleet started. I cant complain I got almost 7 inches of snow out of this. Really fun storm to track and watch fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy sleet and snowflakes mixing in now after a lull of freezing mist rain. Translation: I think you will get periods of heavy sleet and snow still.

I'm pretty sure my result (2 miles west of DCA) was about 2.5 inches before the s**** and f***** **** knocked down the totals on the hedges.

Not much to the west at the moment and I'm guessing a thinning cloud deck will lead to a bump in temps. I'm already at 30 and hearing the drip-drip.

HM posted on twitter how some NVA on the northern edge of the MO/MS moisture plume was robbing a lot of the precip in N. MD...maybe we pick stuff back up later?

Deck Pic Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 1pm mesoanalysis was still below freezing for DCA at 925/850/700....I think the warm nose is at 750mb, but I wonder if we can flip back if we get in one of those yellow bands...I think some of those to the SW are snow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 If this were going to be all snow this dry slot wouldn't be as much of an issue...but obviously, since this will eventually changeover to rain, we needed to squeeze as much out of this period of time as we could...because the mixing line marches, lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea...I was speaking for mby +Westminster on n+w . Makes more sense for you since you can probably hold below 32 significantly longer than us. Could get slick up there if it gets in soon enough. I will say HRRR wasn't that accurate after say the 13z run or so. Gave us too much snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardest snow I've ever shoveled, all 3" of it. The great sleet storm of 2007 was one the craziest things I've ever seen. Sleet is usually a just transition precip around here and we rarely see more than a coating or half inch of the stuff. In that 2007 storm it POURED heavy sleet for hours with a loud hissing sound and sleet literally cascading off of roofs. We got like 6-7" of pure sleet which was welded together by a crust of freezing rain. You could walk on top of it without breaking through. I remember people's cars helplessly stuck because inches of ice had their tires locked in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
