Sparky Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 A rather quick change over to mostly sleet. A little over 2 inches of snow prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaWx Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Goes over to sleet in the heavier stuff and rain in the lighter. Lots of melting right now - it was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Really happy with the snow I received today, almost 1.5 inches, see a report of 1.3" from just to my north, so makes sense. Up to around 2'' on the season, which about beats last winter I'll take it, thats 1.5" more than many expected, and more could be on the way Saturday.

clskinsfan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 12:30 update: 4.1 inches...Moderate snow/sleet mix now. Shoveled driveway and half hour later 1/2 inch covering. My front yard over 6 inches of snow now with the Monday event. Best driveway snow piles in 2 years. Hope it changes back to just plain snow.

clskinsfan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 How are official measurements taken? If you have 4.1 inches of snow that changes to sleet and compacts down to lets say 3.5. Which is the official measurement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 How are official measurements taken? If you have 4.1 inches of snow that changes to sleet and compacts down to lets say 3.5. Which is the official measurement? Take max snow depth right before switch. Clear the snow board and record the sleet like you would snow. If it were to switch back to snow, clear the board again at the switch. You can add the snow and sleet totals. Using the 6 hour rule, it's ok to measure max snow depth within the 6 hours.. You just can't clear every hour because that will inflate totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just can't clear every hour because that will inflate totals. If I'd cleared board every time it switched here I would basically been outside all day! Anyway, back edge of precip has passed by, had a heavy burst of snow swing through just before. Another 1.5 officially measured at 6 hour period including the sleet, storm total of 3.0 for here and 2.6 is on ground. If we'd stayed all snow probably been in 8 inch neighborhood.
