You all disappoint me more then the crappy frozen ice pellets falling outside my window right now!
-
0.4". 0.1"/hr sleet rates.
-
I'll let you know 5 minutes before it gets to you!

Have managed to avoid any white asteroids so far in Columbia.
-
0.3" of sleet reported to LWX. Above 15" winter total
-
Puff puff pass dude. Don’t hog it all.
-
Pouring sleet. Guess we get to see if I can accumulate 1-2” of pellets.
-
I’m guessing either that 850 layer is pretty warm or extends down to like 875 or 900 given the FZRA.

How’s Monday looking? We usually do well when a low pressure tracks through northern Michigan. -
Nearly all sleet again. Everything whitens up quick.

Freezing rain sleet mix

I’m trying to interpret it now and not having much luck.

Yeah, still don’t agree with all the NAM hot taeks. It missed the synoptic setup badly.
-
No model had freezing rain for us. None.
-
Ugh yes. What the hell?
-
Well, looked out and definitely a healthy portion of snow mixed in. 28/12
-
Same. Ugh.
-
So nice to be able to wet bulb from a temperature already in the 20s

@Bob Chill, totally agree on the soundings. Razor thin line between 2”/hr or sleet that can peel the paint off your car. Hopefully @high risk agrees with @psuhoffman that it can be a little aggressive with warm layers at times.

Seems a bit drier vs the overnight runs (that’s been the trend all winter up to game time), but generally stronger with the initial snow thump. Less sleet. So far happy hour’s been pretty good for the cities and immediate suburbs. I’d say 3-6” plus some sleet is a pretty reasonable call for our yards. If we can hold off the warm layer just for another hour or two, it would make a big difference.

Lol not sure what to make of the RGEM. Focuses the heaviest morning band through DC and southern half of 495. Then has a long second wave which most other guidance has dropped. But overall fits with the happy hour theme of good for the cities and drier for far N/W areas.
