dbc Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Beautiful day. Breezy and in the 40s/50s. Refreshingly cool. 70s can wait unil May/June. Agree 100%. Similar today as well. Tad warmer than yesterday but along the Hudson River both at home and outside my office here in Jersey City, it is pretty breezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSkiesFading Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 All rain here with 1 really loud clap of thunder around 11:40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 it could be hail if the convection gets just deep enough. We had pea sized hail last march in a sleety snowy situation. I dont remember what day it was but I remember observing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green tube Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 dont care who wrote that this is not hail here it was slushy, larger than sleet, something or other. it didnt sound quite like sleet either. i dunno. i think i'm buying the hail concept.

Snowlover76 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 it could be hail if the convection gets just deep enough. We had pea sized hail last march in a sleety snowy situation.

NYCSuburbs Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Storm looks like it's weakening a little, but at least it's providing some needed rain... if it had been slightly further south towards Central Park this month easily wouldn't end up as the 1st or 2nd driest March on record.

I dont remember what day it was but I remember observing it. reason i say sleet is because first batch of precip was light echoes and all sleet, now its only sleet when heavy echoes are here. also less and less sleet mixing in as the dewpoint is rising.

green tube Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Grappel? (sp?) grapuel.... i always think of that as more snow-ish, than ice-ish. what fell tonight seemed more like ice. but i didnt closely examine it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats correct! Graupel is just heavily rimed snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSuburbs Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Starting to rain here. Not sure if it's hail or graupel, but there's definitely something frozen falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowlover76 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thats correct! Graupel is just heavily rimed snow. Is that why it tends to fall during blizzards such as Dec 2010b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 You got it! It can fall at other times too, when dry slots take over and your left with just a shallow cloud that snow is trying to form but is frozen in supercooled water drops. Graupel is also common in thunderstorms too and does have something to do with charge separation in thunderstorms.
