Snowciopath Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is the correct translation that 1 inch of sleet = 3 inches of snow? I think sleet has a 3:1 ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Great Box disco 605am: *** very heavy snow with 1 to 3 inch per hour rates will make for avery difficult and dangerous morning commute *** 605 am update...A classic front end thump of very heavy snow is underway early thismorning across southern New England. Strong warm advection wasresulting in tremendous Omega in the snowgrowth region...with 1 to 3inch per hour snowfall rates. Roadways are rapidly deterioratingand visibilities down to one quarter of a mile will make for a verymessy and dangerous morning rush hour. Have even heard of some isolatedreports of thunder.The main concern continues to be how fast the warm air aloft willchange places over to sleet and freezing rain. Dual pol radarindicating that transition to sleet/freezing rain was moving rapidlynorth across Rhode Island and will be approaching the South Coastthrough 7 am. This will then overspread northern CT/Rhode Islandand southeast Massachusetts between 8 and 11 am. Given that its snowing sohard...a small timing error in thermal profiles will make for asignificant difference in accumulations. We still like our currentsnowfall forecast with a general 5 to 9 inches south of thePike...except less on cape/islands. Expecting 8 to 12 inches withperhaps a few higher amounts not out of the question to the northof the Massachusetts Turnpike. The precipitation should also remain in theform of snow north of the Pike. To the south of thePike...transition to sleet and then freezing rain. A tenth to up toa quarter inch of ice accretion is possible across northernCT/western Rhode Island later this morning/afternoon. Boundary layer warmsenough to change far southeast Massachusetts/southern Rhode Island to all rain thisafternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Sleet can be like 2 to 1 or 4 to 1 depending on the exact compositiong and how much pixie dust is mixed in with the sleet. Sometimes you get horribly formed flakes mixed in that look almost like dandruff...esp when the BL is really cold. If the sleet is more "wet" and almost dead straight with no dust mixed in, then its usually closer to 2 to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarshall Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 contrast this to all the Logan flights that were preemptively canceled the night before the overhyped 1/22/14 dud... Jet blue too. People here pacing. Just board the damn plane and let's get out of here. I heard at dunkin donuts only one southwest flight getting out. We're from New England we know how to fly in the snow.
