weatherwiz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Mix of IP/ZR here...seems like it's trying to refreeze into sleet but the depth of the warm layer is just low enough to where it doesn't have enough time to fully get to sleet.

moneypitmike Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Maybe not appropriate for this thread, but here's a shot of the snow as seen through my family room slider and a look toward the back. I guess it's a lot. Light snow attm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You will probably only get 1-2" more. PL mixing with the snow here at 18F. You might be right... dryslot issue will be more of a concern than changeover IMHO, at least here. I had originally been hoping for 10-13" total between the 2, so I'm good.

Mr Torchey Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 HVN and BDR are 28. HVN is 360 degrees at 8 knots looks like the secondary may track close to the east end of li based on pressure falls and the coastal front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 People might wake up thinking the main event hasnt started when its actually over. 3.4"/9.9" total here. Might be the final. The qpf issues popped up in the ruc and hrrr runs pre midnight but it was hard to bite on it so early. So who got what for snow? Seems like Harv had a good handle? Channel 7 though probably moreso.

moneypitmike Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 For someone who doesn't get much qpf..you seem to have at least 2 feet OTG. Interesting 31" per the boards I have planted in the yard. More in the deep spots. I guess I should say "deeper" spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB-Weather Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Looks like we changed to pure rain, so tough to tell. Local weather station says we are up to 33.4 degrees. Was 22.4 degrees at 5:00 lol. 0.28 total ice accumulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
