CoastalWx Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think it was all sleet here. Just a hair under 2" of QPF from the storm. Wet season's here. A lot of it was until the very end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 To be honest, don't think we saw any snow here. All sleet, but man was it pounding sleet at like 4am. Good stuff. Car frozen FTL this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 For me in Albany, this was the biggest snow event since February 14! I measured about 3" this morning, so there might have been a bit more than that before compaction. KALB reported 4.8" with 0.08 L.E. back on March 13, which I strongly beleive was an erroneous report since I live 2 miles from where the report was made and I measured under 2". The last 1/3 of winter was really lousy. Fun storm last night. Steady frozen precip from 5pm to almost 1am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The ground is too warm argument really ticks me off. It seems to happen all the time. That and the "sun angle" argument. I had about an inch. A nice refresher for the pack - lol. Actually, it gives my son one more time to play in the snow. That's all he wanted to do all morning.

CoastalWx Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Was there some freezing rain last night? It's amazing the amount of ice on everything I think it was just water on the trees that froze when it dropped below 32F. I have it here as well. I'm actually surprised how the slush froze on the pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 I gotta say.. This is probably a top 2 or 3 of all time super front for SNE. Granted we don't see 90's one day to snow and 20's like they do in the Plains, but to go from temps and dews in the 60's to sleet/ snow / flash freeze in 4-6 hours is pretty significant for us.

From a pure temp standpoint, back doors are still the best. 30F temp drops in 1 hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 flash freeze ftw April freakin 15th to the coast. Cold winters have a lag effect. It was a marginal flash freeze...we were still drying out pretty quick though during the snow at 1-4am. So the roads avoided the worst of it, but there were def a few slick spots. If we had kept the dewpoint depressions a little lower, it could have been a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 A great end to a really sweet winter, more extensive snow than anyone thought last week but great modeling signal well ahead of time.You love digging for these old posts to bump. Those posts were from a week ago and I think the context of that exchange was lost. Anyhow...I liked the idea of some snow/IP here, but always felt PF/Mitch were favored which turned out to be the case.1" in mid April is really NBD here, but it was cool to get it 6hrs after being 60F/60F.

They shut down 84 from Willington thru Tolland overnight due to ice so they could salt/ sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
