Creates so much more work for these big boys to wait. Doubles the effort

Waste time? Weenies dream to play. 

lol I love shoveling 

[WeatherX]

And just like that 90% sleet. It was a quick transition. Is it supposed to retreat back?

I’m going to hug the 18z RRFS and hope it’s right pushing the sleet away.

[wilton_wx]

Rates have really dropped, almost graupel-y here

[Spaizzo]

No sleet but wind has picked up down here (ansonia)

[metagraphica]

30+ dbz now.  Vis down to 1/8th or less. Hoping it doesn't start pinging soon.

Sleet line getting pushed back a bit on the latest frame..

5F/-1F S++ about 8 new inches since onset.

Love the photos… distinct lack of photos too from most of this heavy snowfall.  Time to document it.

Yea shoveling is part of the fun. Will do it again at halftime before it get’s dark.

You stopping posting about sleet line SOP like you say was telling 

[203whiteout]

All sleet now. Fairfield CT. Eyeballing a foot to foot and a half or so. What do y’all think about the back end thing? Don’t buy into it like usual or solid possibility of a few extra inches on backside?

For those of you who wonder what a sleetfest sounds like? This is from the house in Clarksburg. 6.3 inches of snow and 1.0 inches of sleet and counting.  (Just passed 1 inch of snow here in Charlotte, VT too).

Big time wind now here

So is KGHG going to make this a blizzard officially from its often questionable AWOS observations?  Really it should be more than a single location to call it a blizzard or not.  That reduces chances of bad observations or malfunctioning equipment contaminating things.

Coastal front though BOS!

[CoastalWx]

Coastal front through here. 17 now and heavy snow.
