January 24-26: Miracle or Mirage OBS Thread!
SnowenOutThere replied to Jebman's topic in Mid Atlantic
Doesn’t matter so much for sleet/freezing rain. As long as the 850 down to surface is sub freezing we prob don’t have enough warmth in the atmosphere to get ice. -

Lmk your storm total. Interested to see how it compares to mine The SPC meso analysis shows our 850 temps well into the negatives still so we’re probably safe for a while. -

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. -
January 24-26: Miracle or Mirage OBS Thread!
SnowenOutThere replied to Jebman's topic in Mid Atlantic
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. -

What type of snow do you have now? Hopefully something bit better -

Doing my first jebwalk rn to get pictures. Any Mets or psu want to weigh in on when to set my alarm overnight to make sure I get up and have an hour before the sleet line? -

Very interesting snow conditions. Air is full of flakes that aren’t quite pixie dust but also aren’t dendrites or anything. Piling up like sand might. -

Light snow in Cvill very small flakes and a dusting. Planning to play a game in my lecture hall I’ve stolen before maybe going outside -

Alright, I've checked out from the model runs its time to watch it snow. I think while I wait for the returns overhead to translate to the surface I'll go and watch a movie in a lecture hall. If anyone has any suggestions lmk! -

Seems that the precip shield is ahead of schedule? SW Va appears to be getting ready to snow soon as precip is visible on 511 cams near Wytheville -
