Sometimes I forget how special GC is.

Just hit here. Big sleet.
-
One ice weenie too warm. One ice weenie too cold.
-
Yeah some areas of good lift coming in. Could be some chunks of mangled snow mixed in with the sleet.
-
That’s probably a sign ZR is mixing in.
-
Those in the low 20s are likely still mostly/all sleet. Those climbing into the upper 20s have a little latent heat added at the surface. So a lot of times you can guesstimate the PL/ZR line where you see that low 20s/upper 20s gradient.

You should want the snow to stay on for more damage.
-
For everyone measuring ice today…
-
Maybe a little salt nuclei helping out too?
-
Keep in mind you’re supposed to average both sides for radial ice. So you’d want to half that…1/8”.
-
It’s been all sleet since about my last post. And yeah, you may flip back to snow before it finishes.
-
20.4° -PL 5.7”/0.61” so far.
-
It’s mixing here and there. There’s some pings hitting the pellet stove pipe, but it’s mostly snow. I’m leaving the sleet on top so it’ll snowblow easier.
-
Sure. I still think you overperform on sleet and then you get a little ZR later. Still snowing here.
-
Radar is kinda meh in SNE. Won’t be much accretion for ineedsnow.
-
20.0° and -SN here although we had some sleet a bit ago.
-
Some of that wind down there is for this evening. Unless you plan on fully warm sectoring you’re not mixing down what they are.
-
If I’m snowblowing down there I’d be tempted to wait until it’s over otherwise the driveway will be a skating rink. Definitely wait until it’s gone from sleet to zr. That sleet will sit there forever.
