So you are really not far off. Compaction has begun. Heavier returns to our West may be interesting. Hopefully it cools the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it make my measurement incorrect if I combine my snow and sleet total? No. You should measure sleet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I have 5" right now in Germantown. For whatever reason I seem to have a microclimate that is always about 1" above yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think and hope it beats it back and then once it passes we flip. Yellows popping a little to our west. Looks like we can get heavy(er) shortly. Fingers crossed. Love to get to 5”.

osfan24 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Surprised those of you reporting a change to sleet aren't being scolded by snowman. You should make up that you are currently getting 3 inch per hour rates with 40 mph winds. Stop being so negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeesburgWx Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Damn, i need 2 more inches for 30" on the year. Not looking likely at this point as the changeover is happening. Time to go to the long range thread again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Anyone know what DCA has? At this point, the goal of DC region should be to try to stay #1 in the snowiest East Coast big city competition. Will be hard to stay ahead of Boston as we head into March, but perhaps NYC and Philly remain beatable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost always "negative." But I couldn't help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
