Itstrainingtime

Everything is white here. All surfaces.

Moderate to heavy sleet. 29.3

Won't take long for Chickies to become a mess...

Pingers have arrived. 30.4 currently.

I had to tell my wife and kids that bad weather was coming this evening. None of them heard anything about it. The event earlier in the week was played way up, I guess because it's the weekend this one got far less attention. Many, many people are out on the roads on Saturday evenings going out to dinner and other activities. More should have been made of this.

(clears throat) That answered that!

You should be getting some significant precip at any moment based on radar - wonder if it's sleet or freezing rain?

Of course, it doesn't matter what a meteorologist numerically defines it if the local road crew starts plowing at a different depth.

Wow. Interesting. I remember as a kid, Elliott Abrams would be on WSBA York live in the mornings. He would talk about plowable snows and one morning the guy interviewing him asked him exactly what that meant. Elliott said that he and his Accu Weather friends generally defined it as at least 3". That's always stuck with me. I just did a quick search to see what people are saying today. The short answer is it depends on who and where. For every forecaster who says 3" there's another that says 2". I didn't come across anyone saying 1" but they didn't consult the Rouzerville road master. LOL

Down to 30.6 here - whatever falls is going to wreak havoc me thinks.

I must live in an archaic area. I don't think I've ever once seen a plow on my road for anything under and maybe even including 3". LOL

I still contend and look forward to a snowy Tuesday. I'll be surprised if it isn't. I like 2-4", heavier amounts south.

Interesting. No flurries here. My sleet lasted 47 seconds and now the sun has popped out. Radar looks...uninspiring.

Precip arrived as 100% sleet. 32.0

I can't post a map right now but it looks like the 2" line runs the southern half of the southern tier counties. About 1" up your way?

This is 100% false.

I agree completely. It did seem like some thought we were going to get buried on Tuesday. That's all I was saying. I'm still fully invested in Tuesday for snow.

Bring it!

LOL, thank you. I try to ignore them but it does get challenging. I wonder what happened to the dozens of snow maps for next Tuesday that showed me getting 1 to 2 feet? I'll save my opinion.

I'm excited for the potential of sleet tomorrow. I genuinely like it. If I get 1" of that I'll be thrilled.

I still have sleet coverage in shaded areas of my yard from the other night.

I'm genuinely excited!

Woot there it is!

Enjoy what (if?) we get and hope for more when the pattern improves. This beats the living crap out of some of our recent winters.

The concerning thing to me is he's expecting light rates. During the daytime in mid February that could be problematic. He said it will be a weak, disorganized system.
