Since there was no snow, I now kinda wish we had really gotten a sleet bomb with banding and heavy rates, with 2-3" of ball bearings accumulating. That would have been something to experience! As it is, maybe close to 1" total, but it did cover everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest flaw is not being able to tolerate hypocritical behavior and people who only try to protect their own interests. And to @mappy 's credit, I do take it too seriously (which is quite the opposite of taking myself too seriously). I for one respect your rant and it reminds me of when I went off the deep end before my post count was even at 100, sometime back in the terrible 2016-2017 winter. It's best to just ignore and most importantly try not to participate in the chatter amongst the regulars here, rules don't apply to them. @ravensrule said it right, you can't win. Stay for the lolz, but if gets stressful, check out for a bit and ignore the high post counters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 A couple years ago, someone asked "If you know you're going to meet climo snow totals, would you rather it come in one or two big storms, or 6-8 small ones?" I think I firmly know where I stand on this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean people on here are calling it an all time area wide bust but seems pretty standard to me, maybe even better than most busts in this area. Honestly I don't personally consider this a bust at all. Just because some group predicts significant snowfall doesn't mean it is a likely outcome. Organizations that forecast weather do what they do for whatever reason, but there was never going back a week a high likelihood of significant snow around DC. Never.

I have mountains of frozen ball bearings that still having been cleared from the parking lot and have not melted a single bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and they are half the size they were a week ago before our mini thaw the other day. Luckily no one trudges through that part of our yard during the winter. Had to close down the sidewalk by the brewery for a few days because snow of the roof was threatening to fall. Glad we did, huge chunks fell during business hours on Saturday, would have seriously injured someone had they been hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Mr J and I just cleared the drive. About a 1/4” sleet covered by about 3” of snow covered with about another 1/4” sleet. Felt like we were shoveling sawdust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't look forward to scraping nearly an inch of sleet off the car, but maybe by the time I get around to the task, it won't be a solid brick quite yet! Feels like walking on wet sand out there. And I hear you...sleet is about the worst thing to shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esullivan Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Scene at the end of my alley. White SUV driven by very young guy going too fast down Nebraska Ave, took right on Nevada and lost control into parked cars. Luckily no injuries. New Range Rover is recent replacement for stolen RR. Haven't seen any plows or salt trucks all day, they were out in droves last week (?) when we had 1". 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Shoveling this sleet is no joke. Heavy as heck. I had an 18" pile of sleet at the corner of the house where it all rolled off the roof. There is an icy crust underneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
