    So measured right at noon, 1.5 inches of new sleet. We had a small 20 minute break where we went back to a snizzle, but the sleet with some snow grains mixed in has returned. Currently 13.3/9.9 at noon. The snow still being compacted by the sleet, 5.0 currently OTG and untouched snowboard.

    We had that back in 2007 VD storm. Closed US 220 for about 3-4 hours until VDOT could get front end loaders there to clear. Was about 3 -4 feet deep!

    And looks like I'm headed for that dry slot in about 45 minutes or so. If it hits I'll measure. Currently 12.0/9.0 with sleet still falling.

    Yep. I had 3" at 1 am of all snow. At 5 when I got up it had changed and 4.5". But the 'snow' under the sleet was 2" at most.

    IP/sleet. Maybe a rimed one in there.
  6. wxdude64
    Well, in a way yes, but if these rates go thru your area I've had for last two hours, it is interesting.

    So you DIDN'T take my hint and pound that thing down to the 6" mark when installing the other day....

    Been a while (maybe never) when it is sleeting so hard (again, a few mangled flakes) that vis is .2-.5 mile. Temp finally budged up a hair after falling over 16 hours, currently 11.3/8.1 at 8:20 am. A solid .5 to .7 of new sleet/mix in 75 minutes!

    Just measured. 4.5 inches at 7 am. I measured 3.0 inches at 1 am before calling it a night and swapped gauges 0.34 in it. 1.05 inches when I measured and added together this am. Amazingly heavy sleet falling with an occasional clobbered flake mixed in. Temp is colder than 1 am, 10.6/7.9.

    At 11 pm I have 2.3 on the snowboard and the deck. 12.7/9.1 and pounding big flakes.
  11. wxdude64
    Yep, I'm still dropping here. Now 12.8/9.3 at 10:30 and ALMOST heavy snow, really picking up.
  12. wxdude64
    Yep, really got better in last hour. minimum dime dendrites with some almost quarters mixing in.
  13. wxdude64
    Had 2 plus hours of that when it started here.
  14. wxdude64
    Temp still dropping, 13.7/9.3 at 9:55 pm. Moderate snow.
  15. wxdude64
    OK, just checked, exactly 1.0 inch on the snowboard and on the deck at 9:30 pm. Still 14.1/9.2. Flake size has increased at least 50% in last 10 minutes. It ONLY took 5.5 hours to reach an inch.

    Maybe, I think VDOT is broken down into about 8 or 10 districts across the state.
  17. wxdude64
    What?!? I think VDOT pre-treated even the secondaries both Thursday AND Friday here.
  18. wxdude64
    Yep, I keep dropping too. Currently 14.1/9.2 at 9:15 here, eyeballing I'm close to an inch. I'll measure at 9:30.
  19. wxdude64
    Yep, makes PERFECT sense. And when does someone from the county inspection team come to fix/repair if the pipes go? Yeah, exactly what I thought. Hope you get them to reopen and not burst!!
  20. wxdude64
    At 7 pm snow and 14.2/9.0. About 1/2 inch now OTG.
  21. wxdude64
    I've seen one or two ACT timid, but they were just plotting/scheming for the next chance or opening.
  22. wxdude64
    I thought that would be Pinky and the Brain?
  23. wxdude64
    Cheating here. Pulled out a DiGiorno's and doctored it a bit. That and a bowl of 'tater soup will be dinner.
  24. wxdude64
    So, we DID start a lot earlier than what NWS was calling for, but the 2 hours of snizzle and, as @Bob Chill said, sand took forever to accumulate to making everything white. The flake size has definitely increased in last 20 minutes and visibilities are down in the 1-2 mile range now compared to the 5-7 mile vis earlier. Just a holler to those upstream.

    After TWO HOURS of very light snow, have enough for the ground to be white, lol. Currently 15.8/3.0, light snow and ENE wind at 6 mph.
