westhope84 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Light sleet/freezing rain falling in Tulsa. Sidewalks are getting slick. Roads look like they are beginning to ice up a bit. Nice to see all of the development to the southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Not here. lol. We've barely had a drop of anything hit the ground so far. Hopefully, "round one" will serve to saturate the atmosphere enough so "round two" doesn't dry up down here, too. The magic number for T/Td spread in OK so far when precip commences looks like around 24/10 to me...as of now near OKC you're still around 3-4 degrees shy of that though Chickasha is now getting up in the zone so I think by 2-3pm its reaching the ground there.

KBPPradmet11 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Snow pellets here in N OKC started a few minutes ago. Radar looks good upstream. Afternoon rush is going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoAko Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks, but could you explain the ratios thing? I may be wrong but I believe the Euro output he has is just a 10:1 ratio, whereas actual snow:liquid ratios may be totally different than that.

JoMo Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks, but could you explain the ratios thing? The Euro map and most models use a standard 10:1 ratio.... meaning 10" of snow for every 1" of QPF (precipitation on the map).. So if the model spits out 0.5" of QPF... then the snow map will show 5" of snow. When the temps are colder in the atmosphere, you can get higher ratios. So the same 0.5" of QPF may actually turn out to be 6.5" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this Round 1 or Round 2..the stuff coming up I-44 now? When is Round 2 supposed to start? I guess I'm getting them all confused since it's not really stopped.

brettjrob Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Pleasantly surprised to be seeing almost all SN here for now. Rather remarkable considering the 12z OUN RAOB warm nose maximum was +10 C, with a maximum wet bulb around +4 C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it switched to a predominant-sleet mix about a minute after I posted, lol. It looks like a band from Altus to Anadarko is getting crushed right now though -- wouldn't be surprised to see several inches within a few hours, which would be a major NWP fail.

NJ_Ken Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 We've been getting steady light snow with a bit of sleet/graupel mixed in here in downtown OKC. In the past few minutes, it is approaching moderate intensity. Streets appear to be mostly wet, but everything else is rapidly turning white. I feel like I am back in New Jersey.... and I am loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
