Sleet and rain 

meh event 

We haven't had any freezing rain yet here. VERY heavy sleet right now. 1 inch on the ground out there. More sleet than snow. A significant impact when you get this much sleet accumulation.

As of 8:30 pm, roughly 1 hour into the decent rate precip, it's pouring snow again (lots of switching) and we have 0.4" otg at 30F with RH up to 80%.  

As of 9:30 pm we have 1.0" of snow/sleet mix on the ground at 28F.  Went for a drive locally on 287, 1, and 531 in Metuchen/Edison just to see what it was like and everything, including 287 and 1 was snow-covered and slippery with people going 30-40 mph mostly.  1010 WINS said lots of accidents (mostly fender benders) out there; I saw one on the shoulder of 287.  Was pouring alternating snow and sleet and mix and now we're just about all sleet, although it seems like "larger" sleet pellets than usual for some reason and judging by a few other posts in our area, we're locked in to heavy sleet for awhile.  Would rather have snow, but it's still pretty gorgeous out there.  Radar still looks healthy.

Changed over to sleet on UWS at 9:45. I know because I went out for a short Jebwalk and was delighted to find it was still fluffy flakes. Within five minutes it was pinging on my hood.

 

I measured 2.5” on benches before the change over.IMG_4346.jpeg.9eac0ebc7c2091708d767b79eb85f8b7.jpegIMG_4343.jpeg.6b5305cf5b977146c86e30312306dfba.jpeg
