weatherMA Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 100% sleet now...even a few flakes mixing in. Sidewalks and roads are a disaster. I'm loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Things are taking a break here in the lower CT River valley. I just got back from a meeting up in Holyoke and it was sleeting pretty good at the time...enough to whiten the ground in spots. I suspect there was a good band that came through at the time but it was interesting to see here in the valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Back edge racing east. Almost over. Only .30 of rain. Massive underproducer AWT I was just noticing that on rad -- this system may end 4 hour faster than guidance. Interesting to be on that side of progressivity -- unusual actually.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 37 wonderful degrees. Torch. Rain is easing back now. We did have a very, very brief period of enormous drops that had cores that slid down the window. That was about the first 5-10 minutes of the heavier stuff and that was that.

wxmanmitch Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 All done here...0.75" of sleet accumulation. Still some flurries from time to time, but meaningful precipitation has ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Mixed RA/IP reached AUG about 1:30. They had 36/17 at 1P, so I'd expect the temp to drop below 32 fairly soon. Updated GYX map showed almost all Franklin County forecast for 4-6", wit a few lollis of 6-8" in the NE part of the cty. Only two towns with 2-4" shown - Coburn Gore, up by the border, and New Sharon. ;( NS has 4-6" on it's south end, reasonable as that's Mile Hill/Kennebec Highlands country. However, other than that, the bit of SE Franklin 2-4" almost exactly follows the NS town line. I've seen these maps with the "NS stepdown" before, and they usually verify. However, even 2-4" seems a stretch if it's all IP - would require about 0.7" LE minimum and I don't think we're supposed to get quite that much.

Typhoon Tip Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Tomorrow's one of those days where it might be down right chilly on the hill tops that poke 1,000 K, but places around the CP of eastern Mass are like 15F warmer in backyards. Still looks like a nice day is wedged in there, before the trough axis and residual cold pool slip through on Sunday. BOS has 850's ~ 0C by late afternoon tomorrow, with west wind around 10mph, and both R3 and R5 support at least partial sun. Could see temps bouncing to 60F or even more, while the roof top of the Berks are hung up at 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The snow obs are all in the back third of the precip...so I think Scooter and I's explanation of most of the lift being below 850mb explains it well. There were some very cold temps in that 900mb range...enough to produce ice crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 On the web cam I can see that the precipitation is snow at the house, so it seems to be a fairly widespread changeover from sleet to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
