Wetbulbs88 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 8 minutes ago, konksw said: Could dynamic cooling with these heavier amounts bring snow back into the picture? That would require cold skies. The air aloft is much warmer. The only reason we're frozen still is because of the CAD (cold air damming). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird...the stuff accumulates on top of cars but falls off the sides. Deep tire tracks on street. No plows. I told everyone I know to stop shoveling at 8am. If you scrape the snow/sleet off, you’re just gonna make an ice sheet later. Better to have the snow be the pavement interface than Sleet / Freezing Rain concrete. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just cleaned up the entire driveway top to bottom between the 3 of us with shovels and I’m exhausted. But, fantastic workout!! Been constant sleet with some snow mixed in at times during the heavier precip. Easily 7.5+ inches out there and still accumulating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleet bombs, true ones, are RARE here and fun as heck. wait til you see people try to drive over the little bumps thinking it works the same as snow. we are gonna be locked in way more than people realize after this Just realized it's gonna be "giant sheets of ice and snow flying off car tops at speed" season. Been a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUsedToHateCold Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 5.5" of snow and 2.5" of whatever this sleet/graupel/snow mixture is = 8". It's coming down heavy and it's not pleasant to be in. I remember back in the day sometimes the Weather Channel would use "Unknown Precip" to designate a mix. Applies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Still pouring sleet out there. 20.6 degrees. Suprised how much wind there is today, especially near the water. Wasn't expecting that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
