NYCSuburbs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Snowing/sleeting moderately here with the dusting slowly increasing. 1/2 more hour of this and I can call it something more than a trace, probably 0.1 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StatenWx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 If you can do a better job, then how come you are not a forecaster?? Dude calm down I'm just joking I'm actually happy they busted because I love the snow, and I'm 16 so calm down teens like me tend to troll.

eduggs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bigol bust by Upton....back edge of the precip will move through in the next 2-3 hrs before any changeover--2nd batch out in western PA So far the forecast is playing out very well north of NYC. Snow vs. sleet vs. rain is a very difficult call in a light precipitation, showery event with marginal surface temps, and slightly above freezing mid-level temps. Some flakes and/or light frozen accumulation is hardly a bigol bust. But I suppose since this is the first accumulating snowfall of the WINTER, it seems like a big deal.

StatenWx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Question in a winterstorm scenario would snow accumulate faster if you had a 1/2 inch coating of sleet to act as sort of a coating of ice to cool the ground faster ex. You had a storm start as sleet but change to snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Would prefer a pure sleet actually right now. Will whiten up things better. Too warm for the snow to accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ict1523 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Was driving home from Brooklyn, saw the greatest dustings around the Maspeth area. Wouldn't call not calling for accumulations a bust though if sidewalks and grassy surfaces picked up a light dusting. Nice, but no big deal.
