Wish it could be this all night! Went down to check. Front porch looks like close to 2". Snow whipping by. 27.6F off to bed.

I agree with Brian...never seen a storm like this that would start as moderate sleet and then magically become a snowstorm. Surreal given that areas well to my south started as snow. Oh well, bedtime. You guys may flip as this lift moves north. I even have flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just took a look outside and not hearing any sleet. I think it's just crappy aggregates. Wonder if my thermometer is broken. Been holding at 33.4/32 for past 90 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Flipping wildly back and forth between +SN and SN/PL mix. It is pounding precipitation right now. Roads were pretty nasty on the dog walk. Down to 30/29 now. Nice to see temp tic down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 And I'm not surprised that there is a lot of sleet to start. There wash sneaky warm layer all day today, and we have to get rid of that first. The NAM and HRRRX also showed waves of sleet and snow as lift waxed and waned tonight. It makes sense with marginal warmth aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's like 150mb thick profile near 0.2C....things like lift will cause mesoscale ptype issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 So cool how it's a SN/PL mix under weak returns then pounding parachutes when the good omega moves in. Nothing better than big lift producing massive aggregates. I'll take that over 20:1 pixie dust any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a huge positive bust, wasn't it? I was out of it then....just remember the best was south of me, out along the pike...I got like 14", while Boston had like 2'.

The firehose was def a big positive bust...but some of us saw that coming...even if we still underestimated the magnitude. Anyways, that was more of a QPF concern and big rates in the lowlands rather than mid-level temp issues. The mid-level temp issues are always hard to overcome. You need a huge omega bomb....ala 12/16/07 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
