That would require cold skies. The air aloft is much warmer. The only reason we're frozen still is because of the CAD (cold air damming).

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!

Very apt. This is exactly what it's like.

This is by far the best sleetstorm I've ever experienced. Way better than 2017 NYC, and not just because that was a busted mega-HECS. The rates are almost better than the snow from this morning. Absolutely dumping.

Flipped to sleet about 20 minutes ago. Let's see how far 3:1 can get us!

I grew up in EC. Really miss that place for snow. Excellent location on that little hill.

Nailed it! Thanks.

I'm sure I'm missing something but I don't see that. Here's what I'm using. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=LWX-N0C-1-24-100-usa-rad

Can you share that DOX link?

It's always off with QPF. That's one of its main weaknesses.

Yeah been saying this all morning. The growth is awful. But it's still snow for now!

Are you referring to the pinger radar? If that's the case then wouldn't you need to have stations every five miles to get an accurate dpiction?

Most focus on its QPF exaggerations. But the NAM has always had its benefits and I've always stood by its usefulness.

Yes the growth is awful. We're not going to get near forecast totals. At least it's beautiful out, and we're not going to flip to rain (famous last words).

I'm choosing to believe the sleet line has collapsed under the sheer power of this arctic CAD.
