jm1220 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Love how from 15 to 18z the NAM just absolutely books the sleet line up to Staten Island from Wilmington DE. Must be crappy rates and shredded precip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astoriaweather Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I’m thinking 5 to 8 in the city, then a flip, is a good call 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North and West Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yup. Expect 8-12 inches then a flip to sleet . This was never our storm except on the GFS I’m sorry, but that really doesn’t sound bad at all. My NWS forecast is around a foot, give or take, with a chance of snow. Not being our storm would imply rain, right?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metasequoia Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 4 minutes ago, WeatherGeek2025 said: i'd rather get 10 inches of snow and no sleet than 9 inches of snow and a bunch of sleet. I like snows that rips from beginning to the end! seems like lately that's hard to come by cause It seems like the city always gets some type of wintry mix! I can't stand wintery mix! Freezing rain isn't so much fun. However, I think of sleet as low ratio snow that helps keep the snow pack around longer. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxbear25 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 9 minutes ago, NJwx85 said: All that really matters anymore is where the primary transfers to the coast. The further North that happens, the more warm air will be pumped in but also the more precip there will be. It’s a double edged sword. The rest is just noise. The surface is a reflection of the upper-levels, not vice-versa. The strength and positioning of that wave is what will dictate the primary/secondary strength and transition as well as the strength of mid-level features which is what is driving the warming, not the surface feature.

weatherpruf Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 minute ago, psv88 said: How is a foot of snow “not our storm”? what a crazy comment I’m confused too… I would consider 3-6 a big letdown but not 8-12. Now I’m on record not buying 8–12. But I would consider it a good storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jt17 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 6-10 is my callNah. NAM is overdoing the sleet the last 2 runs. FYI it's basically the same as last run not worse contrary to the comments I'm seeing. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear some all timers like Nemo broke people from being able to appreciate big storms. Because Upton is going with 10-14 inches with some mixing and the latest guidance has trended warmer. That’s all I’m saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe some sleet is good here before hopefully we get clobbered next week and our snowpack stays well into march lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's wrong. Might not even make it to a warning event south of I-80/city and coast with that outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC got 5 or so inches of sleet on top of a couple inches of snow. 2 inches of LQP. Lots of thundersleet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastonSN+ Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The sleet does not get as far north as 18z. Sleet arrived a bit faster but did not go as far north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prue11 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Sleet is better than rain/freezing rain so if it happens so be it. Maybe we’ll get some thunder sleet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
