Snow/sleet/freezing rain mess OBS Tuesday night/Wednesday 1/15-16/2013

[Parsley]

Other than a few sleet pellets......99% rain here for the event. 32.5 was my lowest temperatures.

[Pohopoco]

Went from Snow to a very Lt.Mix at 29.6,,,Snow Acc.5"...

[NaoPos]

started as mid 30's and rain, and ended as mid 30's and rain... Not much else to report

[iceman56]

32.9 in NW Chesco with light rain and a few pellets mixed in.    No real accumulation at 350'.

Some icing - probably not more than .1" on tree limbs once up to 500+'

.48 rainfall for the event so far

[fsu_wxgirl]

Had some little sleet pellets on my front steps around 5 this morning when I let the dog out and checked my driveway surface. Driveway was just wet. Saw some sleet and snow mixing in with the rain then temperatures warmed and changed to all rain by time I left for work around 6:15. 

[PoconoD]

5" here.

[Quakertown needs snow]

Traveled from Q-Town to Lansdale this am.

Q-town had ice on trees, didn't measure and some sleet.

Souderton area also had ice on trees.

Hatfield didn't show signs of ice or it was minimal.

Lansdale none.

31.7 lite zr

All freezing rain in NW Chesco at 700ft

anemometer froze at 230am and remains so. Total ice accretion 0.25" total ZR since midnight 0.68".

[tombo82685]

definitely a glaze a decent glaze on the trees here at work at 500 ft.

[am19psu]

All wet half a mile away on Swedesford

[tombo82685]

All wet half a mile away on Swedesford

 

elevation, elevation,elevation. Its odd though, the temp only bottomed out at 32.8 and you can see things glazed up on all the trees and fences.

[tombo82685]

since adam always questions my snow totals and icings from down in the shadows of mt wayne. Here is a pic of some of the ice accreal on an eastern white pine

31.7 lite zr All freezing rain in NW Chesco at 700ft anemometer froze at 230am and remains so. Total ice accretion 0.25" total ZR since midnight 0.68".

I can echo this ob regarding ice accretion in NW Chesco, elevation 800'.

[lab94]

3.9" total  melted was 0.62" 

[chubbs]

0.98" rain - 1.40 for both events. 34F

[RedSky]

icy landscape in qtown, 32F

 

looks around .20" ice

[winterwarlock]

had all rain save for a few pingers here and there

[famartin]

Trace of sleet in Ewing.

[famartin]

Parents had 0.93" of rain since last evening, too...

[RedSky]

Still 32F amazing hasn't budged all day, kept the ice cover

[am19psu]

LOL. I always believe you. Elevation has been a thing this year.

[FUCK JOE BIDEN]

cold rain here all day....that's all she wrote.

[Big Jims Videos]

quite a bit of ice on trees near the Lebanon/Lancaster County boarder through the hills on route 322.  Amazing the difference about 200 feet of elevation made in freezing rain vs all rain.

[Voyager]

It's been 33 all day here, and all along my trip down 309 and 100. Amazing.

[hazwoper]

33 and rain here most of the day. Took a drive over Jericho Mt just down the road and you could see the ice on the tops of the trees, but nothing right at surface. Talk about a visual for the elevation dependence.

[famartin]

Guessing this is the final PNS for this event...
