(apparently an artifact of the forecast changing from "snow and sleet" to "freezing rain and sleet") I would not have believed you until I checked for near DCA: Freezing rain and sleet. High near 33. East wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch possible. Total daytime sleet accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. Was LWX trying to invoke St. Patrick's Day 2017? Or had they run out of water at Sterling and had to resort to stronger stuff? ((I'm joking, but there was a situation when a (NON NWS) conference staff suite ran out of cola on Sunday morning....)) I'm hoping this was just some ham-handed mistake by whatever tired intern dragged up from his sleeping bag got told to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAME Hah, I can understand being a bit disappointed because the ending was anti-climatic and I'll admit it left a bitter taste in my mouth, but least exciting snow event of the year? It was probably my most exciting. The 2-3 inch/hr rates were awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I am at 28 inches for the winter after this storm. Need another 1.5 to hit climo this year. Overall a very decent winter so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you crushed it with the January storm, but it hasn't exactly been a winter filled with great events. Getting crushed with snow for a couple hours certainly should rate highly in this crappy winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnis Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Absent expectations, any event is a good event. 4.5” here with some drizzle beginning . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Huh, some flakes mixing in back in CHO. Mixed sleet/snow, additional .25” of sleet makes my total 3.35” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Of course there's a good dose of "what could have been"-itis here...but still not a bad event! we all want another 96/16, but these types of storms are the reality. what's nice is that the concern of a gully washer rain has held off for now, so the first part of this was a legit snowstorm. those other great storms generally had a nice h5 pass. this was essentially an overrunning event due to a screaming jet and near perfectly timed cold high to the north.

baldereagle Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 3.5 in beautiful downtown Chestertown between 8:30 and 1pm. Nice event rates were strong. All snow. On the season, this makes 11.0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The thunder snow this morning ranks this one up there with the best < 6" events I have experienced. It wasn't the muffled thunder you sometimes get in winter. It was legit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Suprised ya didn't mention 2009/10, 2003, etc, haha) Wouldn't say storms like this one are THE reality, but rather what's more common. A big storm can become the reality anytime of year...but the likelihood? Very inconsistent, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps in the mid 20's or lower, light precip, and low sun angle is the winning recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
