SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow at the sleet band around DC right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Friend who lives 5 miles to my east says all sleet, 50/50 snow/sleet mix here, so there is a fine line for sure. Theres almost 1 inch of snow/sleet outside now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Nice steady snow....no changeover yet...stinking dry patch sucked for an hour but this burst has covered the main roads pretty fast. Prep for big flakes and heavy snow for a period when that band to your south moves through.. Should also shift to snow/sleet towards the tail end as it did here finally.

aldie 22 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sleet change over now in Herndon. Still some snow mixing in, but about 85/15 sleet/snow. Hope the snow holds out for you. thanks brother...I'm sure we go to sleet but maybe not...maybe we just shut off on the precip we shall see.

aldie 22 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm gonna say the snow overperformed here although earlier runs of the nam and gfs did hint at an inch or so. Amazing how the close in model runs didn't do as well as some of the older runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Holy Crap, these are the biggest flakes I've seen in many years. Still about 50/50 snow/sleet, but this is really Heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 If this had been decently fluffy snow, we'd have a couple inches on the ground. But a bunch of sleet will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This band could sit over me for another 30min maybe, its falling easily over 1" an hour, even with the sleet mixing in. Was Not expecting anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Back to heavy snow. 1.3" so far. Just got back from a jebwalk with the dog about 20 minutes ago. Took this pic with uber crappy cell phone camera. The lake to the left has been frozen for almost 7 weeks now. Ground is well covered, but we had some left over from the last 3" storm.
