Side streets here are a complete mess. 

it hasn't started to melt there yet? the ice is melting to puddles of water, which is good if you want to be able to drive safely.

33 and rain. Probably a good call on the delay, was icy. Looks like a 1/2” of snow/sleet. streets are still slushy. 
 

things brings me to 10” even on the season. Talk about nickel and diming it…

it's like 10 pennies that added up to a dime lol

[eduggs]

Road don't seem as bad as expected to me with temps around freezing. Seemed worse last Sunday with mid 20s and snow mixed with ZR. Also nighttime. But I guess not so many people were driving around like an idiot on Sunday evening in bad weather.

Yes. Nothing better than a cold rain washing away snow….

[IrishRob17]

Off and on freezing rain showers, 25/22.

Same here. Had about 1/2” of snow then  1/4” of ice pellets. 

[winterwx21]

0.4" of snow/sleet here, obviously mostly sleet. When I woke up at 5:30 and heard the pinging, I said NAM for the win lol. As SnowGoose and others pointed out, we didn't get the early thump to overcome the mid level warming that was coming in. Too bad, but still a pretty good impact with all the sleet.

it's like a half inch of a slushy icy mess here, still sticking to the grass but gone from the roads and driveways

Rt80 West by Parsippany is slick. East looked even worse.

I had 1.1" on the board when I left for work. I doubt it got any higher than that.

[eduggs]

With this last burst I think we might have gotten more plain rain than freezing/frozen with this event. I did not expect that.

[gravitylover]

2 hours of freezing rain and drizzle sucks. It looks like it's almost over and about to pop above freezing though so that's nice.

[the_other_guy]

Pouring. Turned into a real rainy day.

 

Models real blew this one epically…and I had a lot of ice this morning

Heavy rain here

[lee59]

 the rain has gotten harder. Temperature 37, miserable day

[gravitylover]

Yep, miserable. It just popped to 33 at the town garage at the bottom of the hill, still 32 here but rising. The mist and drizzle has been persistent since the snow and sleet ended around 10. It's crusty, slushy, icy and soggy  Actually, don't dance, you'll fall on your ass and get all wet. lol

[jm1220]

After the rain and temps now around 36, just some sloppy slush left. Winter of Fail rolls on!!

Just a reminder when people complain about school closings this kinda stuff happens far more often when we get just a little bit of winter weather.

My stone driveway is a disaster. I just salted and sanded it, hoping tomorrow the sun gets after it, still haven’t reached freezing, 31/30.

Oof. We got above freezing luckily, although some side roads are still iffy.

It’s close enough to freezing that it’s breaking up a bit. The real issue is that rock salt doesn’t work as well as it does on paved surfaces and obviously you can’t really scrape a non paved surface. 
 

1.1” was the max depth I recorded on the board. The snow, sleet, freezing rain melted down to .33”

[sussexcountyobs]

1" total here of mostly sleet I guess? I was at work.

34.4" for the season. More to come.

[The 4 Seasons]

Tri-state snowfall totals

 

[wdrag]

To supplement the above... CoCoRaHs as of 8AM Fri 2/7.  The event yesterday basically 4A-9A in our area for snow-sleet.

Lesson learned if anything,  warm nose compromises snowfall and NAM will probably have the best idea, especially closer to T0. 

 

Sleet instead of snow still made this a widespread hazard, even parts of NYC-Li, though shorter duration there compared to inland.  My last on this thread.  Thanks for all the supporting posts. Continue on now for 2/8-9, 2/11-15.

Lots of poo-pooing the "SWFEs" in this forum, but I can come up with many that changed to rain when it no longer mattered (most of the precip was down), usually to light rain or drizzle.  What happens after the precip ends is important...  does it torch or does the accumulation freeze up.

Add Saturday night's 5" snowfall here to the list.  And it didn't end as rain, just freezing drizzle.
