I guess the nam peak warm layer at 4pm might not verify Moderate snow now Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Warm nose was between 775mb and 700mb peaking at 750mb. Sterling height beam at 8100 feet is just about 750mb CTP beam 6100 feet is about 800mb Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

12:22pm to 12:40pm the sleet line crashed 23miles in 20 minutes. Maybe this is what @MAG5035 was talking about with the coastal ramping up. Some models did have line crashing. To early to tell Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

The 3k nam from 0Z last night had them at 0.50" as of noon. Which seems to have been the theme of the name since Virginia. Correct with the thermals, horrible with qpf. Which is why total accumulation was off. Also once the sleet started I hope everyone with boards took measurements and cleared board. Sleet on top of dry snow = big compression. To get accurate accumulation you have to measure the sleet portion of storm seperate Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Not unless your willing to shoot the Euro and every model but the RRPS and NAM because they all were similar in the end Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

The current precipitation regime is a hybrid of partial melting-refreezing aloft and active low-level crystal growth, resulting in a sleet-needle mixture with significantly higher accumulation ratios than standard ice pellets. While the marginal +1.0^\circ\text{C} warm nose provides the energy to collapse snowflakes into dense sleet cores, the saturated sub-freezing head below supports independent crystal growth within the -3^\circ\text{C} to -5^\circ\text{C} needle habit window. These acicular needles act as a structural "filler" between the falling ice pellets, trapping additional air gaps and preventing the efficient packing typically seen with smooth, spherical sleet. This microphysical "scaffolding" pushes the sleet-to-liquid ratio (SLR) from a standard 2:1 or 3:1 up toward a crunchier 4:1 to 6:1 range, leading to a faster-accumulating, lower-density ice mat on the ground.

I'm just happy I have additional support for my totals due to not measuring my board setup for several hours due to sleep. Definitely have had a bit of a crazy band setup over me Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -
