Mogget Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Pretty much straight sleet for the last hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Over an inch of sleet here with some sleet drifts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Think that sleet could hang on here for a couple more hours. After 21z it becomes iffy as the warm layer aloft intensifies and the refreezing layer shrinks/warms, so would probably take a convective burst to get sleet.

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Mostly freezing rain here now, with some sleet mixed in. Heavier rates preventing ice buildup at the moment. Ground very slushy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortex Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Temp down a degree to 31 with moderate to heavy rain. No longer appears to be freezing with the heavy rain. Had close to .15" ice on elevated surfaces. Miserable out with the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Might be some rain mixing in with the sleet here now. One thing about this sleet storm that differs from the one I experienced in LAF is that this is a wetter storm. The consistency is different when walking on it...I'm sure because of marginal temps. The LAF sleet storm had temps in the low 20s. Won't exactly be rocketing above freezing in the next several hours...given that and the resilience of a sleet pack, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of it survive the warmup later.

cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Thinking it's mainly rain here now. It's 31.8", but don't think it's really adding up anymore on anything. Lots of dripping now as well. Probably came pretty close to 1/4" of glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homedis Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 All sleet here. Ice pellets pounding the windows like crazy!! I'll measure in a little, but it seems to me that there is around 1.5-2" of sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
