Ralph Wiggum Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 If the hrrr is to be believed, there will be pockets of sleet moving thru SE PA with some of the convective banding however it now implies the main mix "line" stays East of I95. Pockets of sleet wont hurt us much as long as the main line stays East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 We made it, Mt Pocono, let me know if I am in the wrong regional sub and if there are any members out this way. Started snowing in Dover DE, think it is 476 up was bad but I took PA 903 and Long Pond rd the last 20 miles, got hairy for a bit. 4" in the parking lot, temp around 21.

Ralph Wiggum Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 so according to the hrrr it will rotate between sleet and snow? don't think I've ever seen that before. usually it changes to sleet and doesn't change back til the end. According to the hrrr yes. Not sure Ive seen that before either, just reporting what model shows verbatim. Irt those bright bands entering SE PA on doppler they are doing the classic yellow/orange to dark green dbz change on doppler which is indicative sleet is hitting a wall and echoes looking more snow-like. Keeping hope alive for PA....one band at a time, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'd like to be a bit more NW but can't complain... Hrrr continues to up the ante. Pretty much locked in past 3-4 runs or so to keep sleet line East of I95. Continues increasing snowfall amounts for our area and adds roughly an additional 18-22" here on top of the 3" or so already on the ground. Wowser!!!

RevWarReenactor Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just a word of caution from here on I-95 at the Delaware toll plaza, we got MAYBE 2 inches at most and it is pure RAIN, (Freezing Rain). That HRRR output is complete nonsense. That 8-11 inch HRRR map is pure fantasy. Good luck to you guys up there, but I think the change is coming for some of you more than you know.

This is what I'm afraid of, that HRRR couldn't distinguish precip type and counted everything as snow even if sleet or maybe even freezing rain.

Hrrr has you guys as a mix right now then the line hangs right there or teeters around a bit before collapsing SE as the storm bombs in a few hours. Few pingers and a few dippin dots mixed in here 95% snow tho. I expect pockets of mixing periodically even up here today as is inevitable with these strong coastal winter storms.
