CAPE Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 It sure would be nice if the precip were a bit heavier now while the column is still good. Just stuck my head out the door and it's all snow, but mostly light to at times moderate. Temp is 26. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a winter it has had. You can take the GFS, HRRR, and Euro and throw them in the trash can. I'm sitting at 25 with a mix of sleet and freezing rain. Seems to go to all sleet in heavier bands. This is probably the most frustrating winter I can remember. At least some previous winters, you just closed the blinds and took the loss and took your lumps because you were coming off a run of really good winters. The amount of time I've spent tracking essentially nothing this winter makes me understand why Bob Chill stepped away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were to stay all frz, what is anyone best guess for how much ice we are facing? I've lost track of what total precip is expected, if you cut out snow and sleet. It's clearly all rain now in downtown dc, and you can see it already starting to build up on the streets and sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It missed the synoptic setup badly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The event is underway but I think it’s safe to conclude the winning models are a blend of every model runs least snowy outcome for DC/balt in the last 24 hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyBo Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The worst part about this busting is that it fooking sleeted hard enough to wake us up before going to rain. Like, if I’m not gonna get snow at least let me sleep, cmon! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sleet. . It's still snow in the Winchester area. But I am eyeing those returns to my south as well. If that is snow we are getting buried. But I would bet it's sleet. 3.2 inches so far. Snow 23 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
