Kick-Off '25-'26 Winter Storm Obs

[TheMainer]

About 4 inches of at least 15:1 fluff in PQI, wife had early dismissal from school (teacher) back home and said we had close to 3 when she got home, but she's been sitting by the wood stove since then so no updates

Getting into the heavier rates now, have some ground to make up to get to GYX forecast. 5” atm. Really nice wintry scene out there

Looks like my 4-8" zone for the all snow areas will work out....I just didn't see the huge rates/amounts with that shitty SG.

I guess I wasn't in that zone.

All right that's enough of the gloating. Powderfreak South.

Never ignore the NAM sniffing out a warm layer above the surface. Not sure anything else had sleet up this way. 

[CoastalWx]

3K Nam didn’t  really have a sleet look. Probably half ass flakes that melted a bit and refroze.

Peeling paint off the windows now

This was a really weird sleet event. Not common you get sleet with a warm layer around 900mb, lol. But I agree it was probably not-fully melted flakes refreezing quickly into pellets.

3.0 to my NW. A hair less here.
