dailylurker Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Sounds like this is failing before it even gets going. Sleet- The most worthless winter precip. I'll always remember this as the winter of endless failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Holy Cow, I just came back from a short break and thought it's awfully foggy outside for being so dry. Should've known better, right? Flipped on the lights and oh my! In 10 minutes we've gone from a dusting to probably 1/2" or more fluffy stuff. Nice rates now. No silver dollar fatties, just nice dimes and a LOT of 'em. Hope it stays all SN here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like if this fails, it's going to be a pretty universal fail, with sleet already reported from Bel Air to Frederick, so likely falls short of a true forum divider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Mostly sleet here now with a little FZRN mixing in. Started out light to mod snow but then changed over pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s pouring snow in Union bridge. There’s three inches on the ground in an arc from near where deck is staying over to northern Hoff. They are gonna kill it. just got quiet here.

Yes, Union Bridge -- like 90 minutes from DC, even now in Covid-era traffic, in what is really an entirely different climate. I don't think most people in the metro area are going to be upset or shocked if they get snow. A true forum divider is when DC is raining and Clarksburg or Columbia get 10 inches.

I'm going to hope to stay under precip for as long as possible now. If this just goes dry fast, then the sleet bomb ice storm will have been for naught. 3+" of sleet will be really fun. Roads are already caved here. It'll look like snow but it'll stay around forever, esp after the freezing rain gets to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCapsFan Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just popped outside when I didn't see any more snow in the street lights, seems like pingers/sleet though the temp has dropped to 27.9 here at 150 asl in B'more City, lessee if it flips back to some mangled flakes here soon...

Stormfly Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Roads, walkways all caved quickly here as expected. We have security cams with mics which make great sleet detectors LOL. So far so good but it's not encouraging from what I'm seeing on this board. The SN rates now are the best since the Dec 16 storm. But if we get 3-4" and it turns to sleet or ZR I'm not going to be happy about it. At that point I'd wish it would just blow over and the sun come out! FFS!
