Need a flood advisory 

Yes. Alot of rain! When it comes down hard its mixed with snow. Looking at Accuweather,  it says heavy snow for at least 120 minutes. LMFAO! Radar over us shows snow, but, its rain. 33°

Wet snow flakes mixing with the rain here under the 40 dbz echos.  37 degrees.

Tat. Same here. When precip comes down harder, its mixed with snow. 33° here.

The operational GFS thermal profiles would suggest the possibility for a brief sleet mix in the far interior. Really marginal in likelihood and limited in scope.

There is a very wet snow/rain mix falling when precip comes down harder. Zero sleet here.

As rain has lightened up a tad, much less snow mixing in. Still a few though. 33°

Observations (measured) of freezing rain, sleet and snow for the Sunday December 16 event.  May help NWS and media alike.  Thanks, Walt

Thanks for starting this thread. This may be needed out our way tomorrow.

Thank you IrishRob17:  I am concerned that non convective observed information is not being distributed a timely fashion by NWS (yes, I realize they have staffing/product/internal guidelines-time constraints that determine what happens).  I think we need a national database whereby everything observed (non-platform, non-coop-non-CoCORAHS) that is submitted for review, is available by state and event or single day of the week.  Let the user-consumer beware of questionable data and appropriately filter.  

In any case...  I am thinking we are going to need a separate thread (NON model comments) of observed winter weather for Sunday-Monday Dec 16-17, I80 north from ne PA nw NJ nwd into NYS and east eventually into New England.  That way,  I know interested consumers (you/I, NWS) have one spot to go in this NYC thread for pertinent observed ice/snow for this probable coming event.  I know there are other chats...but I can't submit to all of these and I choose this forum as a best fit for now; also now submitting again tor MOE-FSU (Bob Hart's page) as my time allows, ditto NWS PHI.    We can begin that separate event thread tomorrow afternoon sometime--i just want to keep it simple, free of time consuming model debate, whereby American Weather has other threads that can continue all of that.  I just like simplicity for swift data review-thats why I like platforms. Thanks for considering. Walt 12/14/18 903AM

I agree.

.5" acc. Maybe a tad more. Very light snow falling again. Temp 30

They could use a few days at or above freezing, the snowpack needs to consolidate a bit. An all out WAA assault would suck...

That thick already? Wow. I've got ice on the ponds here but nothing like that. They are super smooooth though as it froze up on windless nights. 

I have a feeling the warmth might not be significant enough to melt out a 3" (and thickening) ice cover, you'll probably be good to go for the season now.

Holes were drilled in my lake late yesterday afternoon. Just under 3.5" of clear hard ice. Teenagers were playing hockey on it Sunday. Too thin for my liking. I won't ice fish till its 6-8"

5 here in Vernon.

Down to 11 here already.

Clear and 12 degrees 

Steady snow falling. 25°

Roads covered. Plow just came by and salted and gritted. 

24/17 here

We'll see what tomorrow models do, but I think 2-4", 3-5" is a good call for my area at this point.

Almost in the bullseye on that map. I'll take it.
