RU848789 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 hour ago, RU848789 said: As of 11 am, still snowing heavily and up to 6.0" of snow otg, for a rate of 1.6"/hr the last 30 minutes - wow! 13F and just pouring snow. Sleet line looks to be in Wilmington - latest HRRR has us in snow until about 3 pm and if that verifies, we'd get another 6" or so before the sleet. We'll see, but certainly seems like 9-10" is a lock before the change and then maybe 1-2" sleet (but likely mixed with some snow, so maybe higher ratios than 3:1 for pure sleet). Also, I got my snow to liquid ratio for the snow that fell through about 9:00 am when we had about 3.6" of snow - it was 14:1. I thought it would be at least 15:1, so off on that guess a little bit, probably because the flakes the first few hours were not large dendrites, so even though they were smaller dendrites and very dry, they packed in more than expected. Did this by taking a 6" x 6" x 3.6" cube of snow and melting it and doing the volume ratio. As of 12 pm, we had 7.0" of snow and it was snowing very heavily at 14F. I then shoveled for the next hour and around 12:40 or so, some sleet mixed in, but it wasn't "classic" spherical pellets, it looked more like small rods that might've actually been poorly formed flakes - weird stuff. Anyway, finished my 2nd shoveling (denser) around 1 pm and we now have about 8.3", but it's getting harder to tell as the winds have picked up considerably, blowing/drifting the snow, so I had to average a bunch of measurements (luckily there's old crusty snow underneath, so not measuring on the board isn't an issue like it is on grass). Made a nice snow angel. Definitely a mix of snow and sleet and it keeps oscillating on which one dominates. And if you want to see downtown Metuchen, News12 is doing a remote from there.

We did 1.5"/hour rates before the viz dropped to where it is now (about 1/8 mile). Temp is up to 15.3° ...sun angle coming into play 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsor Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 50 minutes ago, NorthShoreWx said: CC radar shows a mix line. It's not a solid sleet front. Parts of it advance and then wash out. We could potentially hang on for another 3 or 4 hours here. That might be enough to get us to a foot. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=OKX-N0C-1-12-100-usa-rad RRFS has been doing well overall with the advance of the sleet. It shows the sleet stalling and then retreating slightly next few hours, with mainly snow hanging on for North Shore of LI until around 0-1Z and northern parts of NYC even until 2-3Z. The additional snow it shows from 17Z on is likely slightly overdone, but the idea that central-eastern LI catches up vs. most of NYC makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the good news is it seems the RRFS is close to as good as the NAM and better than the HRRR on this. The HRRR actually picked up on it this event, probably because it was such strong warm advection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinRP37 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I have never seen so many prolonged travel restrictions and bans before for a storm like this. Yes it is big, but no where near as severe as many in the past. Dutchess county until 5pm tomorrow? The big stuff will be over long before then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_other_guy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 hour ago, Rjay said: You've been discounting the sleet since this all started and guess what, it's going to sleet. I think there's only one poster who said this wouldn't be a significant storm for NYC. Great storm for all and an even better storm inland and up in New England. actually, what I said was this is a 10 to 20 inch storm. And whatever falls is gonna stick and stick hard.
