Back to all snow here and nearly as heavy as it was before it started mixing.
Officially, we made it to 10 degrees, but the station is currently reading 9.5
Thanks. Hopefully it crashes east soon. Still have a few big flakes falling, but mostly sleet. Someone over in the Philly thread said the sleet line was racing northward towards Scranton currently.
Now, do I clean my measuring area, or wait to see if it flips back?
Well, the snow is still mostly snow here, but I'm standing on my front porch and it's getting increasing noisy, so sleet is mixing in here as well.
Dammit. Thought I might survive without the pingers...
Guess the NAM might have gotten it right upstairs after all.
I'm not doubting your observation, but the radars that I looked at all show the mix still down by the state line, and all snow north into Pennsylvania. Usually they are pretty good at showing where the demarcation is.
Are you kidding me? Look at the moisture feed coming up from all the way down in Houston. Not to mention the fact that it's snowing all the way back out west to Missouri.
Every one of the them but the NAM seem to be holding at 15-17 inches here, but...the caveat is that I'm probably farther northeast from any potential mixing. Not saying it can't, or won't, happen, but I suppose it's less likely here.
Looking at the historical graph from my weather station, temp held steady at 11 degrees until 3:05am when it started a decline to the current 8.1 degrees. I figure that's probably when it started here in my backyard.
This.
Many times, big snows come at the end of a cold pattern, and half (or more) is lost to the warmer regime that follows behind after a couple days.
