It’s not, it’s based on distance from the radar site-radar beam elevation. Way out east it’s showing that once the radar beam reaches probably 6000 feet or so it’s picking up a mix. I don’t have the tool to show the radar beam elevation so far from the radar site but it must be about 6000 feet or so. In N NJ it’s closer to the radar site and the radar beam is at a lower elevation which is how it picks it up.

No I appreciate. We'll see what happens with it in the future.

Of the glacier or the ambulance? -
1.20" sleet Little angry about getting cheated with sleet with so many heavy sleet reports. It's been falling at not quite .25" hour since the change.

January 25-26 Winter Storm Potential

Same here, temp back down to 10.2°F. It briefly touched over 11 earlier today. -
I don't know how most people will get places tomorrow. I just measured the sleet in the back and front of our townhome complex and lol... All of the sidewalks and parking lot coming out of people's garages are under 1.5' of sleet because it has all just flowed from the roof. Also, Gaithersburg right now and I am sitting at 3.6" of sleet on top of 6" of snow measured earlier. Just 0.4" to break double digits, don't know if I'll do it.

Freezing rain in the mountains is a very localized thing the models can't handle. No doubt the strength of the CAD brought a bigger threat to higher terrain than usual. Still surprised you had as much as as you did. Had very little which is consistent with what I have experienced with freezing here the past couple of decades.

Just took a walk and this crap is easily as bad as 15" of snow. Dense and slippery, like walking on a pile of dead fish but without the smell luckily.
