dendrite Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 15 miles and 350 ft elevation made a real differenceEh...that little elevation had no influence in this. The further N and E you went the longer you held the snow. Obviously there's some slightly higher amounts here and there and measuring differences. If you measure at the end the 1"+ of sleet is really going to weigh your snow down even though the snow was already of higher than normal density. I had about 1/4" of sleet on top of my snow core when I woke up to measure at 6a (SN began around 1145ish) and the total was 4.1" so I probably had about 4" of pure snow before the PL began pounding away at it.Looks like we may stay below freezing right through tomorrow evening now and start that off with some -ZR/ZL? I haven't looked a lot at temp profiles yet...just crudely eyeballing maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Pounding sleet and mangled flakes along with tiny snow grains. Pushing 5" of SN/PL. 18F congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 4.5" of snow/sleet in Atkinson, NH...on the cold side of the coastal. Temp went briefly to 30º now down to 22º/20º with a NNE wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 36/36 rain. Shoveling was much tougher than an inch deserves to be with all the water in the snow/sleet. Took me hours.Wont it melt tomorrow? I'm not shoveling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 nice Ryan Made out pretty well. Coastal front is only about 5 miles to my east...so I lucked out with some bonus snow/sleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Wont it melt tomorrow? I'm not shoveling Well I wanted to see what I have to deal with in a bigger storm and its formidable. I may buy a blower knowing I have t get it early on work days and whether the snow guy makes it on time. Will clarify before the next event but I also think we may get some zr or pl tonight with temps subfreezing so I decided not to chance it. Always fun being in a wintry scene...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Ice on the trees in Enfield when I left for work at 10:30am, not so much ice in Windsorville and none here in South Windsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx2fish Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 4.5" of snow/sleet in Atkinson, NH...on the cold side of the coastal. Temp went briefly to 30º now down to 22º/20º with a NNE wind Maybe 3.5" otg in Londonderry although it's compacted under the sleet now.

I was going to while the kids were trying out their new sleds, but decided not to. I had a feeling it would stay AOB freezing interior today and then tickle back into upper 20's tonight. I guess it's possible this stuff all won't melt since there's so much water in it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Cold air winning out? PSM had 33 at 9 AM and reported 21 at 11. Not sure what, if anything, is falling now in AUG, maybe a few tiny snow grains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Up to 30/29. Soon we drip? -pl continues. About 2.5" otg, like moving wet sand. I get to test the model Ariens snow blower I want to buy since I'm borrowing last years model from my neighbor. Should be a good test, lol. Roads still quite slick here, even after plowing.

wxsniss Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hey wxniss..we moved. The hood is yours alone now. I'm at 32/32. View through kitchen window about 5 minutes ago:image.jpeg Ah that's too bad Jerry, I took comfort in having another weather addict so close by. A really dense 1" and looks even more impressive when plowed. Based on NAM/RGEM last night, I'm guessing around 1-1.25 water content? 37/37 drizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...temp dropped quickly and continues to drop...I got just shy of 32...just a coating of ice when we got close...but mostly snow and sleet.

Logan11 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I think this is too heavy for my snow blower...would get clogged constantly and I'll snap some of those pins. People have also driven all over the 3" of sleet packing it down....so I guess I'll hope some of it melts tomorrow. Or live with this base for a long time. Up to 30/29. Soon we drip?-pl continues.

MarkO Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Pounding sleet and mangled flakes along with tiny snow grains. Pushing 5" of SN/PL. 18F Similar results here. I measured 5" in many areas which consists of 4-4.5" of snow and the rest being sleet. I was at about 0.55" melted when I did my earlier core, but it's up near an inch now based on my most recent core. Great base building material! 22.1/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
