I think there’s really unrealistic expectations of mets. I’ll say it again. Weather is always changing and lately it’s wonky. The mets do there best to keep us informed based on the models the best they can. They allllll did so. Daily. Heck, hourly. They let us know about the changes. It changes. Just be glad it’s not .5 or more here. Some people are messed up out west and again, this isn’t over. If we get .25 or close it we could still lose power. All we can do is chill. The whole “bust” thing irritates me.

3 inches OTG in Terryville, CT as of 11:00 A.M. Temperature continues to drop, now 2.5°F

It’s getting foggy…

Radar just keeps filling in

Nice site if you want to see airport ASOS obs. https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/mesomap.cgi?state=MA&rawsflag=3

Models had me right near the snow/sleet line so snow making a comeback here. I think I have a shot at seeing that all day. Weenie hope of course.

6.8 inches here (Northwestern HoCo) before the sleet mixed in. Now, mostly sleet and 13 degrees. With a couple of inches of sleet to go, should get close to or top the 9 inch mark for total frozen.

Ya might wanna leave a thin layer of snow for the sleet to fall on top of...Shoveling sleet attached to bare concrete is a nightmare! I think I'm gonna wait, lol

That would be a disaster up here...it's bordering on catastrophic for a southern state that doesn't get much wintry precip.

Welcome to team sleet bombs are fun. It’s a fun team to be on. Everyone else gets grumpy and you get some enjoyment and wonder.

Just thinking the same thing.

We snow

Also some drier air down there so maybe that explains the flip and they go back if rates improve?

anyone know the total ice forecast later today or has that been lowered. Hopefully so.

Have gone over to a mix in SWNJ. 15.1F.

As of 10 am, had 6.1" with a 0.54" liquid. Still about 0.25 mi visibility.

they’re not even flakes they’re just snow needles

The north/northeast winds are kicking up pretty quickly here. Some snow still mixed with heavy sleet which is picking up in rate now.

eyeballing 2" or so in W. Hartford

Measured 8-10 inches in my back yard. Can’t be upset with that. The most snow I’ve seen in probably 15 years and certainly the most I’ve seen since moving to Oklahoma in 2016. Underperormer of a storm to be sure, but by any normal standards, a great snowstorm for many. Comparison is the thief of joy. So while it doesn’t look like the models, it’s still been fantastic!

Really a shame all the HEAVY sleet obs from VA and MD. Such a waste of surface cold and QPF. There's going to be some places that see 0.75"+ QPF as sleet.

First flakes

Just measured 5.5 inches here on Staten Island. Approaching the low end of my original 6-10 inch call.

Roads in west Tennessee are about as bad as I’ve ever seen them. Snow, sleet and ice have heavily impacted the area. Folks along the Mississippi/Tennessee border look to have the worst ice damage. Reports of power outages across the county in different rural areas. Saw some info come out of Oxford Mississippi and it looks like they got the brunt of the ice storm, Holly springs area as well was hit pretty bad with ice. That 2nd wave came through last night and doubled sleet totals with some snow mixed in. Probably have .20-.30 ice accumulation where I’m at north west of Bolivar with
