SnowenOutThere

Yep. Just saw sheets of sleet. Wonder when we’ll flip to freezing rain

It’s not. Really fun burst of sleet though!

If it makes anyone feel better UVA general public is currently experiencing the heartbreak that we’ve been drip feed for a week all at once. Lots of posts of how could this happen and where’s my 15 inches.

Measured 4 inches of frozen OTG. Just pounding sleet out right now. Roughly 2 inches of sleet already with a ton more precip to go.

You wanna talk about a debacle? Western NC is getting dryslotted while they were forecasted a world altering ice storm. Ofc it’s good for them that happened but gonna be some unhappy people.

Correction for me it was 2 inches of snow and over a dozen hours analyzing the setup. I think I’ll disappear after this storm for a long time.

Can confirm. Switched to sleet/snow in the past 5 minutes. Successfully stayed up for the sleet line.

Burst of huge dendrites in the past couple minutes, which means I’m just miles away from sleet. Measured 2.0 on the dot so I did beat out the NAM by .1. I’ll see you all on the other side.

Hate to do this to you but those heavy returns are the mix line. Some good news is that the mix line itself has collapsed south a bit in the past 30 minutes!

Various pictures from my Jebwalk. I was initially to do another one right before the sleet would ovetake but it now seems that'll be sooner rather than later. Either way, extremely pretty snowfall and I'm glad I was able to see it!

I know, just thought it was somewhat funny. On the opposite end of the spectrum apparently freezing rain has advanced faster in NC than forecasted. Hate to see what that may mean for myself and the other central VA posters...

It looks like my old post is already inaccurate as it’s now jumping north far faster. I give myself maybe an hour or two max now. What a disappointment.

Did the math and the mixing line is moving north at 20 miles an hour which gives me 2-3 hours before the flip. My goal is to make it to 4 inches of snow.

Psu man I love ya but posting a forecast when Im already at 1.7 of my 2-4 inch total is a pretty late call.

1.6 OTG with the mix line 50 miles south of me. It’s an extraordinary pretty snow but makes me wish we could’ve gotten more. That said, I think the nams may verify as they kept me from 1-3 of snow and I doubt I can pickup over 2 inches before I get sleeted.
