Typically on a snow measurement, you want to keep to the "tens" place after the decimal, so anything that ends with a 5 like ___.15, just round up to the next digit. It won't inflate totals much. You'll be good! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also didnt mean to imply sleet for me and you The mix line is hitting a wall safely south of us. looks sleety to my untrained eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 1 minute ago, Deck Pic said: yeah...I mean it's not really relevant to those of us in immediate DC metro. I was just making the point that deep yellows might not be deep yellows when they get here as all snow. I was lamenting about those yellows. Now, not so much.

bncho Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I think we have an over-performer with this storm. NWS still thinks we see another 6-12”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL there's been a truck sitting in the parking lot up the street for an hour and a half with all the pretty lights flashing. Probably gonna snooze all comfy with some coffee and doughnuts until sunrise. Gotta wait for it to pile up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say within the next few hours is when we'll hit the heaviest part for you guys. I'm a little later and linger longer out my way. Sweet spot right now is just to the east of you which has been well modeled by CAMs thus far. Still a solid storm for your area for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bar right now is to beat the Jan 3rd storms 7.4 inches which seems pretty likely at this point! Would be nice to try and get over 10+ to make it the biggest storm since 2016 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
