EastonSN+ Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 about the same here, but I have a ZR/Sleet mix now after a nice 5 inch snowfall-ice will cement it in, and tomorrow night's temp crashes to 10, so this will be an incredible glacier around here. Agreed. Interesting that the RGEM drops the mix line south turning us back to snow in a couple of hours. Let's see if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Temp rising to 29 here - still frz rain with an occasional sleet pellet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Still mostly snow in Rockland but sleet pellets are starting to slowly mix in from time to time, seems a mid level warm tongue is sneaking in, even up here I'm in western Bergen county just across the boarder to the south of you and have had no sleet. Wonder where the warm tongue is getting you from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman19 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yea....transition line seems to be splitting rockland right now. Sleet/ frz rain in Nyack, but still all snow in Suffern and up in Stony PointMy buddy in Suffern is still all snow but the sleet pellets are starting to mix in around new city right now. There is definitely warm air mixing in at mid levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ers-wxman1 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Is your temperature below freezing? Sometimes "snow" will be assigned to radar images when the temperature is below freezing even when there is freezing rain or rain falling. Also, snow may still be falling nearby and the radar was slow to recognize that the changeover took place. You have to look at the entire column, top down. Dual pol is better for this. Melting and warming wil be occurring above the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ers-wxman1 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Moved over to Garden City and its all freezing rain and 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXtreme Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 A lot of this should melt tomorrow as temperatures climb into the 40s. It's not gonna melt a lot. Sleet and ice on top of this will not melt quickly even IF it briefly gets into the 40's ...sorry no torching and no flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I do not know how accurate it is, but the RAP changes almost everyone back to snow later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SNfreak21 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It's not gonna melt a lot. Sleet and ice on top of this will not melt quickly even IF it briefly gets into the 40's ...sorry no torching and no flooding. Sun angle is starting to get noticeably higher, the only way to retain the snowpack from now on is if its overcast and below 32, even with full sunshine and sub freezing temps it would melt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithB Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Still all snow in Pomona. 3.7 inches. The last 20 minutes of radar not only didn't encroach NW, but if it's correct it moved back a few miles SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Whoever through out 5 or 7 to 1 ratios may be right, NYC reported 3.0 officially, they had 2.0 at 7pm with .19 liquid after that, so you'd have expected they got 4 but ended up with 3.

Won't melt as quickly and certainly not a lot. Temps may not even touch 40 anyway. My forecast high is down to 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WintersGrasp Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Measured around 3.75" here. Glazing over now. The mix line does seem to have stopped. Let's see if the short term models are correct in bringing it back SE. RGEM is particularly interesting as it has another 2-4" for the NYC area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsonsbuff Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You should submit to the NWS, if you feel comfortable with the measurement... Based on EWR/LGA, I would think the Zoo Keeper is out of whack...
