We've had some weenie flakes mixed in here too, but still mostly sleet. Intensity has lessened though. East slope ftw. Snowign moderately now with decent flakes.

weatherMA Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Pouring ZR 30.1F. Surprised there's little sleet mixing in right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thats almost impossible that it wouldn't be mixing with sleet...its completely torched above 850mb. Maybe you are in a pocket of weak lift mid-level lift right now and all the lift is below the inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so cold aloft just off the deck, cruddy flake production certainly possible below inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if most of the lift at the moment if below the warm layer, then you can see snow production since the cold layer is so frigid, like -6 or -7 even.

I have no doubt the situation will change, but is what it is right now, and I like it.
