When I left my house I only had about 0.25" and found 1.5" in the parking lot at the ski resort when I arrived about 8 minutes later.  Very light snow falling in town but turned to SN/SN+ up here at 1,500ft. 

 

We'll see how much we can grab before it mixes.  Looks like at least one more burst so 2" should be in reach.

 

It is cold though.  Colder than forecast.

 

MMNV1 is still 19F at 4,000ft and its 25F here at 1,500ft.  That sounds like a good sleet column to me with probably 3,000ft of sub-freezing air at least.

The sleet is always closer than you think.  When it lightens up it goes to sleet and then when it gets heavy it goes back to huge aggregates.

 

Must be warm up there somewhere.  Both of our stations up high 3,600ft are showing 19F and 21F (they are about 1.5 miles apart at the same elevation)... and MWN is showing 20F at 6,000ft.  Warm layer must be higher than that if we are getting IP mixing.
