Logan11 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Freezing drizzle here and 28. We had some sleet also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Latest RAP looks locked in on current location of this precip band. It's awfully cold aloft (especially H8 never getting above freezing through 00z in the GYX CWA). That warmth aloft is all up around 800 or 750. 0 C there surges as far north as extreme northern NH to around BHB. Nearest I can tell right now, that band of precip is associated with the deeper moisture surging northward at 700 mb on the SW flow. That would explain the relatively high reflectivity yet only 10SM -RA at the surface. Our 00z sounding had a nice -38 C dew point at 800 mb. So this stuff is falling through plenty of dry air still.

dendrite Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 31.5F with some light glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just woke up, so I'm a little groggy, lol--but there's a combination of sleet & freezing rain falling with a crunchy glaze on things outside. No snow. 31.1F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 31.5F with some light glazing. 31.8/30 here--I'm sure there's not glazing to be concerned with. ZR will not be an issue here, though we might get some IP. Very dated obs: driving home from western NY last night, I had rain change to IP east of Troy and temps dropped to 30-31.. Even managed some sn mixed in as I approached teh Mas border. Once I got down to the valley in Williamstown/North Adams, temps had risen back up to 34-35. As I crested Rt. 2 in Florida and Savoy, temps were about 32* with rain and some IP mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Pouring white sand. No snow in the village or at the ski resort...just turning white from this chunky white stuff, haha. Some huge pieces of sleet...like aggregate sleet if that's possible. Cold though....28F in town and 26 up at 1500ft. 20F at 4000ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Actually down to 17F at 3600ft, that's the coldest elevation I can find. 21F at 2600ft and 22F at 2400ft. Impressive cold in that elevation range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 We ping. Just for kicks I rolled down the window on the way in to work and stuck my hand out while traveling 45mph .... I can confirm flesh-ripping conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Also can hear the snap, crackle, and pop of sleet hitting the grass and sidewalk when you step outside. Sleet is sort of cool when it's not occurring at the height of a snowstorm. When you know it's all your getting you can enjoy it. When you flip from +SN to +PL there's nothing worse.

powderfreak Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Back to scalping sleet chunks. Going to be one of those mornings... Aggregates if its really coming down and sleet 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 At this point I'm enjoying every 5 minute burst of moderate snow I can get lol.You could see that band well on BTV's radar with like 50dbz bright banding on composite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you flip from +SN to +PL there's nothing worse. No worries about SN here. My grids are pretty much a straight RA/PL mix. Not too often you see that sort of thing, but it's all riding on those lowest few hundred feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
