Given that this was never going to be a true snow event, whenever it comes to ice the warmer the better.

I don't think that's how physics works

3k pretty cold too. All I want is measurable sleet and a 2hr delay.

33/14. DP has been falling all day. I wonder if some of us dont see a little burst of snow to start out?

Have def seen snow up my way on a few of the runs. Brief, won’t add up to much 

[katabatic]

30.7 for a high, now at 28.9/20.7. Before the warm surge, things will be pretty dicey around here.

School delays start.  2 hours for Fairfax Co.

[WVclimo]

My point and click forecast says “sleet could be heavy at times” tonight.

Here’s the dilemma for HoCo schools. There’s already a half day scheduled for elementary schools for parent conferences. In the past that has meant either open on time, or close. Maybe this will be the first instance where the bigwigs decide to close elementary but delay all others, but I doubt it.

edit, but it just occurred to me that you were probably referring to your work and not your kids.

Seeing a couple of flakes here and there

Ugh good call. HCPSS just sent an email saying it’s closed or open tomorrow.  No delay option.

3K with a decent thump of sleet upfront for NOVA. Spotty precip after that though. If we stay below freezing I think accretion wont be an issue with it being that light. 

i hope so. sleet is fun but ZR is not.

Folks, this is it. This is the last of the snowpack that has held on in my shady backyard ever since the first event 30 days ago on 1/5. Let's keep this streak alive and bring this one home!

[NorthArlington101]

the default weather app and whatever appears on windows computer is showing tonight as snow... got a lot of questions on in the office.

feeling pretty good about seeing a little sleet tonight before midnight even in downtown. Little skeptical of accretion... if I happen to be up early i'll see if we managed a glaze.

Gfs flips any frozen to rain before dawn. Earlier than its previous runs.

no real impact on the end product - which of course deserves a healthy amount of skepticism

38/23, cloudy in dc.  It would be nice to get measurable snow even if just for stat padding purposes.

I had the same questions this morning. Somebody’s app was showing 3-5” of snow tonight.

I still have about a foot on south facing sides of the road from plows.

Very light snow in D.C.. Only can see it because of the spotlights on the field next to me.
