Snow Reports and Backend Snow

UPDATE: The backend snow is starting to push in as temps start to drop.  Our surface low is pulling away, which means that we should be cold enough to support snow/sleet. Read down below for more info.

What Happened in This Storm

This snowstorm started around 9 AM then the snow rate really started to pick up and become heavy at around 10:30 AM and lasted until 12:00-3:00 before the snow turned into a mix. It's now a mix for almost all of the county. So before the mix started, I measured about 4 inches of snow in Gaithersburg, and I have heard a range from 1-3+ inches of snow in MoCo. There is now freezing rain outside my window, and if it's raining but is below 32 degrees, that means that it is freezing rain. When I went outside, the conditions were so bad. There was a mess of ice, snow, and slush everywhere on the roads, even though snowplows and other help came in my neighborhood over 6 times. The plows got stuck at one point, but it was snowing so hard that the help eventually became useless(0.5+ inches of snow per hour) The ground is super slippery and dangerous, and objects that were outside were very slippery. Ice has become a huge concern now, and even after a lot of us switch to rain, a lot of us will switch back to a mix/snow, and temps will drop below 32 for EVERYONE, causing a massive and dangerous refreeze. Please do not travel unless it's necessary. If this was a normal day, a lot of buildings would be shut down. There is also a flood watch in effect for southern MoCo, as everything melting plus with rain will cause major issues with flooding. I have never seen this before in a winter storm. Temps are hovering around freezing as well, so it's very messy.

Backend Snow: 

Models are showing some backend winter precip, for Wednesday night and early Thursday AM, which is good for snow lovers like me, because snow will accumulate faster, due to low temps and no to little sun angle(it's night what do you expect?). If what they show happens, and the rain/snow line moves east/south, we could get 1-4 extra inches of snow, however, the models are showing more sleet than snow. We will see. The rain/snow line, according to the models, will more likely move east than south, which is still good.
