We flipped to mostly sleet with occasional light flakes mixed in around 2 pm. Surprisingly Epic sledding conditions with my kids for the last hour. As of 230pm, we have 1.5 inches of snow/sleet combo. Hopefully the heavy sleet gets me over the 2 inch mark later on for the event ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it reached this far inland. (I was in north Jersey at the time.) After 13" of snow i proceeded to have 5" of sleet!!! All with temps in the teens.

Voyager Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Precip lightened up dramatically, and is now is the tiniest ice pellets I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Perusing the latest ASOS obs it appears that they have a problem identifying sleet. All I see is Unknown Precip. Can they not identify sleet/ice pellets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleet extended back to about 81 or so? Amazing. Yeah, I guess I was thinking more along the lines of Harrisburg vicinity. Lancaster definitely closer to the center. Still would not have guessed you had 4" of sleet. Wow. I wonder if there will ever be another superstorm in our lifetimes? I'm not sure if anyone ever compared that storm to the great November 1950 storm. I think PIT got 2 feet from that while EWR had hurricane conditions with sustained winds of 75mph for 12 hours. I know that seems impossible but it happened. Also, sub-zero temps in the panhandle of Florida. Would have loved to have been around for that one.

Yes, it is also odd that MDT for the last 2 hours has had Obs of “Fog/Mist”, but has recorded .12 of precip combined in those 2 hours. Hopefully they account properly for the sleet for the storm total later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Storm of 93 caused sub zero temps in Florida as well (I think) and plowable snow in several areas down there....just no plows to plow it!

The buildup was unprecedented...everyone knew it was coming for 5-7 days in advance. The water vapor loop for that storm is jaw-dropping. I had snow cover for 10 days after the storm. Of course, that was the middle of March.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Heavy Freezing Rain with significant ice build up at this point. Probably should have gone WSW for us as there are 1-2" icicles hanging from all exposed areas at this point. Trees, mailboxes...street is sold ice. Still 30 degrees.

The ocean made it back to Weekiewatchie which is well inland. 96MPH gust in Tampa and one 6" snow report on the panhandle. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I know it's nice to reminisce about 1993, but can we please talk more about THIS event? I'm trying to get upstream obs and info so I can follow and anticipate what's coming next. Right now, it has almost stopped "precipitating" here. When I measured we had nice moderate snow, then it turned into almost like a light sleet mist, and now has almost stopped entirely. Not sure what to make of it.

Their was a brief pause and then we went back to all sleet, as Mike said it’s pouring sleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
