Typhoon Tip Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 4 minutes ago, RIcoastalWX said: 28/24 Quick transition from moderate snow to some sleet and mostly freezing rain. From the first sign of sleet to what we have now took less than 5 minutes. 3" of snow total. you might actually flip back and forth a couple times before finally committing ... if the p-type algorithms are any guide (and they are usually good to within 80 to 90% of truth) that transition zone is presently slammed up against the shore and is wavering. Also, there is clear indication for an interval of pretty heavy fall rates about to sweep through... Granted this is a waa snow in a purer form so in theory the growth region should be collapsing in time, but there could still be some big humdinger golf ball aggregates near the true transition as that heavier stuff comes through. These things can be hinky like this... you could go squarely to freezing rain... then, at like 34 when that's ended, a brief period of pingers kicks in then it rains... Ur like, what - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Using radar and obs both here and official... all combined, if this doesn't change soon we're definitely going to breach the Warning level for snow here along Rt 2. It's now beneath 1/2 mi here over the last 20 minutes, and we are just under 3" ...which means we gained an inch in the last hour, and, again ..the heaviest returns on radar are yet to sweep through. This should get us 7" here I would think. Been wrong before, but we'll see -... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
