m045400 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Icy hell here in SoMD. My wife bit it on the deck when she took the dogs out. Uggs evidently don't do well on ice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWC Split Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Is the radar supposed to fill in at all? It does not look great for the .8-1.0” of QPF forecasted for my area. 24F and sleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 What's up with radar? Looks like after this first batch of bs goes through it will be intermittent and showery. What a bust lol. I'll always remember the winter of the bust. Even the one 4" snow I got was flurries for 3 days lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Train Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Rates have def picked up. The sleet is heavy enough you can see it falling - like a decent rainstorm. And the occasional flak mixed in. But 98% sleet still. S of Leesburg, NW of Dulles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The NAM from a couple of days ago was obviously wrong. It was basically doing the same thing the GFS did for awhile, which was moving the storm progressively south and east and playing catch up. But you cannot argue over its performance over the past 24 hours, which is its wheelhouse. It was insistent that near 95 and south was likely to whiff on any snow accumulations. It had the main snow band way north, and that's going to be fairly accurate. Euro and GFS tried to shift a bit late but were still way overdone around 95, and the HRRR should be put on rocket and fired into outer space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 heavy band of sleet flipping to the first time in the whole event some scattered snowflakes. I think my snowflake count so far is 10ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
