BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 That 45-50dbz that just left me.....folks to my NE, look out! Easily 1-1.5"per hour (snow/sleet) in there. Also was not expecting temps to remain steady, much less drop, during that heavy batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYarsh Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Massive pingers here in Bethesda. Probably about 3/4" of snow/sleet accumulations. A glaze of ice on top of this would be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstorm Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The sleet is really coming down hard. I actually can here it inside the house. You better close the windows and get your roof checked. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEXRAD showing 50dbz with this band. I know youll say who cares but Precipitation with sleet has a high reflectivity on radars, hence the high dbz's...just saying..Im sure its heavy though.

Dcwx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just went outside to walk the dog. Pretty much heavy sleet, most roads covered. Little ice accumulation on the important stuff(trees) so unless it turns over to freezing rain soon I think we are good on the power outages front. I am in Cleveland Park, DC.
