I'd think you'd want it on a thick layer of fluffy stuff. Then you can just smash through the top layer instead of it being glued to the pavement. Same for cars, you want a buffer between your car and the sleet/rain mix.

12 inches officially here. North Caldwell NJ

His line to you last week was a classic "you must be fun at a party." Amazing.

Getting some massive dendrites now in this better band.

HRRR sim radar at the tail end ~7pm looks rough SE of DC wrt ZR. Hopefully it stays sleet.

Just passed 3”. Pure blower fluff on top of that first inch of baking powder.

Foot + is a lock here. Expect to hold out on all snow until about 2:30ish.

Probably a dumb question, but am I better off shoveling right before the sleet starts? Or just wait until it’s all done. I feel like if I shovel before I will then just have nothing but sleet/ice on my driveway. But if I wait till after it will be heavier and a pain in the rear to move. It’s probably a lose lose honestly lol

Keeps running into a wall in Washington county. I'd only get concerned if that pattern suddenly started to change. From a met.

This bad boy putting down some serious sleet at my house

As of 12 pm, we had 7.0" of snow and it was snowing very heavily at 14F. I then shoveled for the next hour and around 12:40 or so, some sleet mixed in, but it wasn't "classic" spherical pellets, it looked more like small rods that might've actually been poorly formed flakes - weird stuff. Anyway, finished my 2nd shoveling (denser) around 1 pm and we now have about 8.3", but it's getting harder to tell as the winds have picked up considerably, blowing/drifting the snow, so I had to average a bunch of measurements (luckily there's old crusty snow underneath, so not measuring on the board isn't an issue like it is on grass). Made a nice snow angel. Definitely a mix of snow and sleet and it keeps oscillating on which one dominates. And if you want to see downtown Metuchen, News12 is doing a remote from there.

Is it me or have filled a large dry slot with greens and yellows?

Buddy in Pittstown measuring 8" and sleet now.

Looks like most of the DMV will approach double digit sneet

24.6/22 right now. Crazy cool for almost 1:30 in the afternoon.

Back to mostly snow here, though seems like the warm air is trying to make another northward surge across the LSV. This is quite a unique setup for the area (given the surface temperatures).

I rescind my comments about this being a bust. But in my defense I've never experienced a sleet storm that can actually accumulate with any semblance of significance. This is wild. Hoping we can keep the ZR at bay!

3°/0° and just past 5" and ripping, snow growth comes in and out but it's dense sand or awesome dendies, hours to go... looks like a lot of convection off the Delmarva, and appears some easterly inflow South of LI.

And when it does change to 100% sleet it will go on for awhile, so we'll add a decent amount of accumulation. Of course I don't like sleet as much as I like snow, but I still like it. Freezing rain is what I don't like.

Love me a sour monkey, one of my favorite sour beers. They sneak up quickly though - easy to forget that each one is the equivalent of 2-3 light beers. Though if you want to be doing snow angels in the dark at the height of the storm then it's easily the best option

Mourning dove hanging out on the rocking chair on our front porch trying to stay warm and out of the elements.

When the best dynamics pass ne of you the snow should pretty much end and you'll have sleet. WX/PT

Looks like sleet in CPK approx half hour.

Still at 10f here with 10+ down. No mixing. Just heavy snow.
