I love mesoscale phenomena in these storms and always look for localized precip maxima and such. 2:1 is a good starting place for sleet but it does vary quite a bit. My first round sleet only was 1.8:1, but as always, measuring frozen precip is somewhat subjective. I didn't wipe until after the first round was over, so settling and maybe some melting probably accounts for my high water content. Depending on measuring technique, pellet size/shape, etc., it can be 3:1 or 4:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 30.2 and snowing light to moderately.

You gotta love the staying power of sleet though. I had 2.0" on the board yesterday and this morning after mostly rain yesterday and no measurable frozen I have 1.8" in the yard. For those of you playing at home, snow pack is measured to the nearest 1/2" so my snow pack gets logged as 2" this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Sup homies, down in cape may. talk about non snow this year.
