Heard a couple of limbs snapping when I went out. Everything still plastered, not sure what I'm going to do with the driveway, the snow blower will not be pleased with this cement. lol Measured 2" right before the sleet started, now compacted to 1.5" Fun event to stay up for considering the panic over rain that this thread started with.

powderfreak Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 LOL at Buffalo's last hourly observation.... SW39G58. Each of the last 4 hourly observations have included gusts in excess of 50mph. Solid wind storm out in western NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 ZL is freezing drizzle. 2.1" was the final total here. I thought freezing rain was ZR and sleet/ice pellets was PL. I've never seen ZL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Classic example of how convection robs moisture, after WAA dump most all models showed secondary heavy rain across NE, umm no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 nice bro, where you headed today crazy man? Skiing with my nephews at Catamount today and with my daughter at the B'east tomorrow. MRG was schweet yesterday. Killington was fun on Thursday but it's such a meat market. I'm glad it's there as a magnet to all the Metro chumps. It keeps them away from the other hills. Walrusing snowboarders that scrape the trails clean. Fortunnately very few of them dare to venture onto the steep stuff. I'd say 1 in 100 can actually carve and look good doing it. The rest, total posers. P.S. I'm not crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest, total posers. P.S. I'm not crazy. Sounds good, rePete. After I plow out (still catching up from earlier in the week), I'm sure we'll take a tour this afternoon and probably hit Burke tomorrow afternoon for their $25 half-day Sundays. It's taken a while this year but I'm finally in the "let's go skiing" mode. Earlier in the season we just didn't have much snow, major home renovations going on, etc. Now the projects are done for the time being and we have a lot of snow to ski on. Boom. Watch out for knuckle-draggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I think even I had a half inch last night, based on what I see on the ground right now. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch out for knuckle-draggers. I have a few home renovation projects that have stalled because I'm too busy goofing off skiing. I'll resume working when awful warm weather sets up shop in another 2 months. Until then it's ski binge city. What's the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a snowboard? How you attach the dirtbag.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 You are right not crazy, insane. No. Why would you think that? Hey, that's a nice trough the Euro digs late in the period. I think we'll definitely see more fun. NNE at the very least. You might hit it just right up at SR. I had a premonition we'll see one major late season snow. Think it happens.

moneypitmike Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Managed a bit more than I expected. About 2". Guess the melt will begin soon as I'm up to 31.1/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The NAM GFS I think had 1-2" on the snow algorithms yesterday. Not too much of a surprise..at least when I looked at it. I even put a mix of snow in my BOS TAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Just some sleet and zr last nite here..now 35.3 and drizzle with heavy fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modfan Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Had a house fire last night around midnight, and was a little icy going getting to station and the scene. 36 here with drizzle, and town trucks going out as the dirt roads on the northern end of Woodstock are a glaze!

Baroclinic Zone Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Started as sleet around midnight. Lasted about 30 min before transitioning to rain. Just sheet drizzle right now and mid 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I thought freezing rain was ZR and sleet/ice pellets was PL. I've never seen ZL. You're mixing up codes. PL is part of the relatively newer international METAR codes. The old American surface aviation obs included L for drizzle, IP for sleet, R for rain, S for snow, and ZL and ZR for freezing drizzle and freezing rain.More thunder.
