Interestingly enough, pouring sleet here and temp back down to 10F from 12F.

Sleet drilling down...almost a weapon.

13F/heavy sleet

10F holding steady, snow starting to mix back in with the sleet

That's encouraging...I guess.

[Chadzachadam]

apparently there was some thunderZR at 27F near Charlotte. heavy sleet here in NW Philly, currently 19F. still some huge disagreement on how high the temps get this evening, I've seen everything from 24 to 35 in various models/forecasts...we'll see what verifies

Did some fooling around with the weathermodels.com stuff and found this (it was definitely what the NAM has shown for a couple days in a row) -

Still mostly snow here south of blue mountain ski resort. Bigger flakes than earlier though.

Looking like you should flip back to snow soon.

Sleet/Snow mix in Bushkill Township. 7.3F all day. Temp hasn't really budged. Had to switch to oil heat as the AC/Heat unit was getting iced up. Hard to tell how much snow fell with the drifting. Maybe 7-8 inches.

Other radars I looked at not capturing the sleet and ice change good as that one

 

[hazwoper]

This may end up being the longest duration sleet event I can recall in these parts.  Sheesh

Yeah that depiction is pretty cool and is also capturing the "overrunning" rain of this event that had been forecast early on and now as it moves east, TN is getting some nasty ZR.

NAM nailed the warm nose but was not even close with modeling precip in the initial thump. last NAM snow maps I saw had Philly at 4.5" total snow and sleet and like 0.65 liquid equivalent which was way too low and dry

Some ridiculous reports of change back to snow in DC 

[Violentweatherfan]

Hey @Newman or @MGorse does warm air intrusion follow the same atmosphere levels or can it vary

Probably blowing off the roof I thought the same thing when I looked out my front door was like it’s snowing again just blowing off the roof

[Birds~69]

Sucks the NE/Den game is in Den...

13F/sleet

You don't have wind?

[Rnt1969]

Wind gusts gotta be in upper 20s low thirties

 Just kidding. I was criticized a few days of this threat and many  posters said i was off my rocker that this was not going to be a problem. They will find out the hard way tommorow evening when the blowing snow may keep the schools closed Tuesday  too.

My neighbor has a front end loader on his John Deere and just dug out the base of my driveway

The good thing about the sleet is that it has stopped the blowing snow off the roofs etc, but i would rather it go back to snow

[nesussxwx1]

34F in Cape May.

Snow blowing off rooftops is scenic and part of the winter experience. Now I have another reason to hate sleet...
