MillvilleWx Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Man, what a glorious walk that was. It started out as a light snow but flakes started to get larger as I was walking. Then the rates picked up and it was like the sky vomited as I turned back into the neighborhood after walking down Mayo road with not a soul in sight. Im going to measure here shortly one last time as I am starting to run out of gas. Still got more shifts in the next few nights, so need to get some rest. This is a glorious storm for the lowlanders of AA county and the eastern shore. Measurement incoming! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 1 hour ago, wxdude64 said: I pulled the gauge before bed last night 1 amish, had 4 inches on the ground and snow was almost like graupel, knew it about to flip sleet. That melted down to 0.43 liquid, so close to a 10-1 ratio. Headed out to measure and flip gauges again for 7 am CoCoRaHS, just eyeballing I'd say 3-4 inches of sleet has fallen and 6 or 7 inches of 'white stuff' (still mostly sleet, but a tiny bit of ice is on objects) is out there. I'll be back. Oh, it warmed up overnight, currently 29.6/28.5. OK, so 3.2 inches of 97% sleet was on board at 7am, so 7.2 inches snow/sleet. That is a new record for the date, shattering 1996's 2.3 inches. Total precip is 1.51 inches (0.43 from 1am pull and another 1.08 with sleet overnight), that too is a new record, beating 2008's 0.36 inches. 6.0 inches OTG with the sleet beat down of the snow, should be a lovely concrete mess later once temps drop this evening lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Slept more than I expected last night…primarily bc the flakes were so small I couldn’t really see them in the lights. I’m blessed with having to attend a 845am daily call, so I’ll either go out before or after to investigate and measure what the damage is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 It does go back over to light snow in the heavier returns. Dont want to be a Deb. It snowed, it's cold and it's beautiful outside. Enjoy all. I didn’t get snookered by the models this time. They were all clearly pointing towards a dc/south win, but it does look cool outside. Excited for my stroll around the hood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over 6" will be sweet IMO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Moderate snow almost heavy. Definitely best rates of the storm so far. Haven't measured yet but looks like over 2 close to 3. Temp is 20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models showed this just seems to be a little quicker than scheduled, which often happens. This might be the end of part 1 for those of us a little north of dc but we’ll see if we can get a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
