George BM Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just now, Grothar of Herndon said: 29/26 FR Had to go out and deliver food for a family member and where the plows have exposed asphalt is glazing over on secondary roads. Neighborhood roads still snow covered and traction much better. Wonder how much accretion we get on the trees before we pull far enough above that freezing mark for accretion to stop? Probably enough to make the trees look pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowBeach Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Complete mixed bag up here on Wintergreen the past several hours. About 8” on the ground, but not a proper place to measure bc the winds are HOWLING and the drifts are large. 24° and holding. Hitting the dry slot soon. Was an epic day! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It coated fast but took a while to cover things up. Was some blowing snow as well. Im happy as hell with it. 3 snows in January. I’m like 1” below climo. After the last couple winters this is awesome This sums up my experience as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being unhappy with things you can’t control isn’t how I want to live. Life teaches you that there are more important things than snow. Why not just enjoy what happens and celebrate it with others? It is much more fun that way. 22 minutes ago, mappy said: Gotta find the happiness and magic where you can, no matter how small It is so much more a joy to take what comes and make it fun for all. The small things and moments become fond memories that last longer and you appreciate them more. You def get it and that’s why each event can be just as special as big ones 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnis Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 1 hour ago, MillvilleWx said: Yeah. They are over 3” and it’s coming down in sheets. I wouldn’t be surprised if areas north of Germantown hit 4-5” before the flip. A place like Damascus where @jnislives could hit 5” at this rate. Im just living vicariously! Have fun out there Well we didn’t get to five, but it came down quick. I fell asleep watching the Dallas game lol so I missed noting when it changed to zr. I’m guessing we got 3.75 or so.

Kingstonian Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Kingstonian said: Very surprised to measure 2.25" (in multiple locations) here in Kingstowne at 5pm. Far exceeded what I thought I would get. We went out for a walk about 5:10pm, and sleet had started mixing in. A neighbor invited us in for a drink around 5:40pm and the rain had started mixing in. Walking back a few minutes ago, it's pure ice -- a goodly amount of freezing rain (but my bush where I'd measure ice accretion was taken out in the time we were away).

dukeblue219 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 31.1 and all rain (I think...) in Silver Spring. The snow that was pure powder at 530pm is now crusty and crunchy, but no visible ice on the trees yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Switched over to a mix of quarter size snow bombs and sleet here. Took a measurement before my snow got beat to death. I have 4.8 inches of snow. Gonna get really nasty out here the rest of the night. Sleet/snow mix 18 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGolfBro Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 31 heavy rain. My storm door is frozen shut…so looking forward to warm up soon. I’d break it down if I didn’t know it was going to be 49 degrees inn2 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I also keep the old school ceramic C9 lights on my stairwell too. I love having the lights up thru the many shite 34° rain days in my neck of the woods….when I’m not chasing ❄️ up in the NW parts of VA. But once in a blue moon, we get lucky. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistercheif Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 About 5" so far and 18 degrees in Martinsburg. Just started to get hit by a heavy band, but it sounds like there's sleet mixed in with the large flakes, but I'm not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would normally say hang onto whatever frozen precip you can get. But I know your lack of affinity for ice pebbles. At least for a few hours it was gorgeous out.

Bob Chill Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hit 3". Perfect. Enjoyable storm. Considering the flaws it performed well. This winter has a habit of that lately. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
