Yes_Probably_Maybe_No Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 saw snow mixed in with rain (70% snow/mix to 30% rain) and I think graupel (sp?) at my oxygen deprived elevation of 120 feet this morning at around 7:15 when I got to school it was like 95% rain 5% snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I guess this time every foot made a difference, I'm at 480ft and didn't get any accum. Tamaqua is 825' and there was barely a coating on the grass. A couple miles west of town and about 100-200 ft higher and there was about a half inch to an inch. It seems that right around 900 to 1,000 ft was where the more significant accumulations started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm surprised with how persistent the precip has been today... kudos to the EC for being the best model (as far as I can tell/remember) as far as picking that up. The GFS and NAM seemed much drier after 18Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The sun broke out here a few times after 18z, but overall crappy and windy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlwx Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I guess this time every foot made a difference, I'm at 480ft and didn't get any accum. Intensity mattered too. The areas that got a couple of inches (Exton) are lower elevations than Wayne is...there were some pretty impressive echoes that moved through the western burbs...you might have just been a couple dbz short.

Rainshadow Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I'm surprised with how persistent the precip has been today... kudos to the EC for being the best model (as far as I can tell/remember) as far as picking that up. The GFS and NAM seemed much drier after 18Z. Yup. One time when the slower Euro timing worked better. I only traced out with snow yesterday, which means I'm still at 40.000000000000000000000000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMolineuxLM1 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 just had the same here. Rain with sleet and graupel I was outside digging more in the yard. And felt some rain drops huge ones, with some sleet bouncing off my nextdoor neighbors driveway, was surprised to see and feel it, I was like wtf. But i continued to try to dig out this trench to drain the water from the back of the house to the front towards the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
