April 12 wintry event.

Some flurries/drizzle now as it comes to an end. Maybe 3/4" of mostly sleet out there with a some ice accretion under it. 61" on the year with this sleet! lol

Im not sure its going to end right away here in Central NH. Radar shows nothing to the SW but I think that's because the light stuff is from lower clouds.  The main shield is now NE of Plymouth NH but Albany had light rain last hour so maybe a few hours of light snow?  I have changed to light snow as the precip is coming from the lower layers perhaps and not the thicker clouds that had precip going through the warm layer.  So perhaps a coating to an 1" of snow this PM.  I am not a Met but that's my thoughts

28.8F vis 1 mile light snow

36F here with the rain ending. Rain here from start to finish and the NWS forecast was 100% accurate with regards to precip type.

 

I spoke with my wife earlier but I have not had a chance to talk with her since the back edge came through but she said there was an occasional sleet pellet mixed in up in Stafford.  That back edge was almost all sleet even down here in the CT River Valley (at least in MA) so I'd be surprised if you didn't have anything.

That's been the case here.  Steady light snow continuing.  I'm not sure how much it's adding up, but with the temp at 31.3/31, I'll take what I can get near the middle of April.

It was all rain as far as I could tell, I did not observe any sleet.

Big bag of not much here........... :)

Augusta the same, RA with probably some pingers.  3P temp 32/28, not seeing any accretion on trees, and the lawns are the same green/brown as when precip began 2 hr ago.  Wunderground obs up toward home show most at 32-34 with dews in the mid-upper 20s.  Five days back, I opined that we'd get just enough IP to notice, then 33F RA.  We'll see how close that was when I drive home.

Oh, that's interesting, Will -- I never knew that about ASOS, that PL meant augmented -- I wonder what the "P" and the "L" stand for?  I always thought "pellet" ( duh haha), but maybe it's a conceptual thing.   BR means mist -- how that is so, who knows ...

 

Can probably thank the WMO Frenchmen for that. Brume is French for mist. Likewise, MI, FU, GR, GS are all French abbreviations.

 

I can see some pockets of sleet accumulation around Old Port, and can hear a few pingers left on the window as the precip comes to an end.

Latest snowfall map from GYX has moved MBY into the <1" zone. The narrative still has the foothills with 4-6", but that's because we're lumped with zones farther north, and because there will probably be that kind of accum on foothills locations above 1,000'. I think the map will be closer for my place at 380'.

Odd to read of (apparently) more sleet in the Old Port than I've seen in Augusta. But then there's been a lot of upside-downs this cold season.

Things have tappered off now but that was quite the sleetfest for a while. I'm at work in the valley but even here there's at least an inch of the stuff on the ground. Pretty funny to see people walking around campus sans prudent footwear, lol.

 

Dartmouth campus, all sleet:
