Looks like 700mb to 800mb warm layer Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

MU launched a balloon at 18z, 1PM Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

13". Mostly sleet again now. Very happy with this storm. That last hour surprise was amazing and nice to see. Definitely not a normal experience with miller B without the coastal bombing out Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

This warm layer coming looks more thick. Wish we had a balloon launch right now Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Sleet mixing in more now Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

We won't know anything to super late tonight or tomorrow with them Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Wow, .75" in 15 mins. 3" hr rates. 12.75" to almost 13' Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Basically at 800-825mb level. Heavy heavy snow with big flakes here mere miles north of sleet line Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

12" here Crazy lift right now. Threading that line here. Less than half mile visibility Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

780 to 800mb. Heavy snow here with big huge flakes and a pink or two but accumulating fast Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Yup Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I guess the nam peak warm layer at 4pm might not verify Moderate snow now Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Yup. CC don't lie Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

As of 1258 Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Warm nose was between 775mb and 700mb peaking at 750mb. Sterling height beam at 8100 feet is just about 750mb CTP beam 6100 feet is about 800mb Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

14 miles in 12 minutes Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Definitely seems like it's crashing Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I'm at 11" so far Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

From KLWX 12:04 to 12:46 Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

12:22pm to 12:40pm the sleet line crashed 23miles in 20 minutes. Maybe this is what @MAG5035 was talking about with the coastal ramping up. Some models did have line crashing. To early to tell Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

The 3k nam from 0Z last night had them at 0.50" as of noon. Which seems to have been the theme of the name since Virginia. Correct with the thermals, horrible with qpf. Which is why total accumulation was off. Also once the sleet started I hope everyone with boards took measurements and cleared board. Sleet on top of dry snow = big compression. To get accurate accumulation you have to measure the sleet portion of storm seperate Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I'm fast approaching 11". It's a crazy heavy mix with visibility well less than a mile Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Not unless your willing to shoot the Euro and every model but the RRPS and NAM because they all were similar in the end Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

The current precipitation regime is a hybrid of partial melting-refreezing aloft and active low-level crystal growth, resulting in a sleet-needle mixture with significantly higher accumulation ratios than standard ice pellets. While the marginal +1.0^\circ\text{C} warm nose provides the energy to collapse snowflakes into dense sleet cores, the saturated sub-freezing head below supports independent crystal growth within the -3^\circ\text{C} to -5^\circ\text{C} needle habit window. These acicular needles act as a structural "filler" between the falling ice pellets, trapping additional air gaps and preventing the efficient packing typically seen with smooth, spherical sleet. This microphysical "scaffolding" pushes the sleet-to-liquid ratio (SLR) from a standard 2:1 or 3:1 up toward a crunchier 4:1 to 6:1 range, leading to a faster-accumulating, lower-density ice mat on the ground.

I'm just happy it was off the storm total. You already blew by it's total storm accumulation from last night Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
