Mr. Windcredible! Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Sleet or graupel? I'd assume you have some decent convection in there and some heavily rimed flakes/graupel. Definite sleet...it's pure ice. Like a spring hailstorm. It's crazy! Still some monster sized flakes mixed in. Just ran out for a measurement since this iis probably gonna hurt us a bit. We're at about 12" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right, but the reports sound a lot like those white styrofoamy snow pellets that you get in wintertime convection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Maybe you're right, but the reports sound a lot like those white styrofoamy snow pellets that you get in wintertime convection. absolutely not...pure ice...probably loudest pinging I've heard since the great Feb sleetfest of 2007.

SR Airglow Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Impossible to get good measurement right now. But it's around 8-8.5 Yup, drifts are starting to pile up here, the makeshift snowboard I set up is not faring too well. Might have to just start measuring the driveway and averaging. Just saw ABC 7 in NYC, they are going 18"+ IMBY, seems agressive but their the mets, I just watch and enjoy! -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
