CardinalWinds Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Even where it was salted is now frozen here. I wouldn't recommend any travel this evening in the CPV. Indeed, eyewall...I had planned to come into Williston to do some shopping this afternoon/evening, maybe get some dinner. Thought better of it and I'm glad I postponed. I'm surprised the Stowe base area station at elevation has plummeted this evening... nearly 20 degrees in 3-4 hours. From a high of 51F and it is now 32.5F and the dew point has slipped to 31F. stowe.jpg Same here, PF. Wind shifted out of the north two hours ago and we dropped really fast. Sitting at 32/32 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderwx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 felt tropical in lyndonville, 38F when I left the rink, 30 miles north back to 28F. never really got warm here although it seemed to melt off a bit of the original coating, it is laying back down now.

eyewall Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It looks like we are actually getting some sleet mixed with the freezing rain. That may save us from some heavier accrual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey thanks eyewall, your update made me go take a look at what the precipitation is here, and indeed there’s sleet bounding around out there among the freezing rain. I never thought I’d be so happy to see sleet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hope you guys are all right tonight. 34f and light mist here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The precipitation is all sleet here now, so the cold layer must be thicker. Even up above 2,000’ at Bolton Valley the temperature has dropped below freezing – it’s 31.2 F at the Bolton Valley Weather Station at 2,100’.

wxjim207 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 32F and Light Rain here in Brunswick @ 12:35am. The front is through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Rain and 32f. Everyone ok? 7:30am and no observations makes me think there is some power/internet interruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Light ZR and 26 here. Overnight we had 0.57" LE, with ZR, IP, and even some fine-grained snow, which GYX thinks might be forming in the cold layer near the surface. Accretion is about 0.1", so unless we get a bomb of ZR later we should be okay. Radar is spotty at present with another slug upstream, for this afternoon. Even with that I'm guessing we remain under 1/2" ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varying intensities of freezing drizzle with the occasional freezing rain shower will be the story here today. Temp still dropping 29.3°F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Haha 32F at the summit, 29F, at 1500ft. Snow loss cancel. Well that's a decent layer of cold if the summit is a chilly 32F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well that's a decent layer of cold if the summit is a chilly 32F. Yeah, it's a marginal column and I think that's why we didn't get the 1-2" of sleet the Valley for last night near BTV. BTV probably had the same depth, but it was in the 20s, allowing for refreeze prior to hitting ground. Up here it's a thick 30-32F type column...just not cold enough to refreeze the parcel.

adk Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 If the wind in BTV picks up at all it is going to nasty. All the trees around my house are bent substantially and creaking and cracking already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Still without power in Stowe. Staying cold though...30-32F type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvysnow79 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 All plain rain so far with temps hanging in the 34-36F range, with only 0.38" of rain. Snow pack is down to 3", hoping for the cold air to get in and lock in what little is left. Hoping everyone is staying safe and warm where they are getting the major icing!

CardinalWinds Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Been hovering between 31° and 32° here since 8pm last night. No ice accretion whatsoever that I can detect, however. Looks like the ice accumulations/sleet made it as far east as Stowe/Waterbury but couldn't push the few extra miles east to my location. Some snow loss but pack still soundly intact. No ice (or sleet), enough rain to completely clear the driveway and snowpack still solid...win/win/win...and lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It is not really freezing drizzle here so much as tiny snowflakes (snizzle I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
