CapturedNature Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think it does stand for pellets...but I have noticed that PL obs almost always come from sites with an observer. The sites with no observer seem to never report PL (ORH is an example, they have no observer to augment obs). What happened to IP? I wasn't around for the transition to the new format but in the old days it was IP for sleet. L was for drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 There must be some cruddy flakes forming below the inversion to add to the precip type to get snow mixing in. It's not mixing here--straight snow for the past half hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 All snow at this point. Just pixie flakes blowing around now. Some decent flakes at times. Interesting...there's definitely some low level snowgrowth occurring beneath the inversion on the east slope due to easterly upslope. We've had some weenie flakes mixed in here too, but still mostly sleet. Intensity has lessened though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
