I haven't mixed yet, but the couple times intensity has let up, my flake size has dramatically decreased... then I notice a few large flakes here and there, and that's when I know heavier stuffs coming, usually after 15 min it's back to all heavy large flakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 2.8", crappy flakes mixing with pingers and grauple and other miscellaneous bits. This event is a bit on the meh side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I'm surprised, thought for sure you guys with lat over there would do just as good...you think the rates weren't as intense by the time things made the push across the HV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West MT. NY Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I am all pingers the past half hour and dare I say a bit of freezing rain mixed in. Hoping the back edge just pushes through quickly at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Probably had close to 5" before the changeover then got nearly 1" of pure sleet and pellets before it changed to plain rain. Now it's 27* and moderate rain and this whole place is quickly turning into an ice cube. I have to go out for a bit and go to a wake then I'm hunkerin' down with some cold beers and tequila shots.

Yes but if any sleet or freezing rain compresses your totals from your max depth at anytime today you go with your max depth for the days storm. At least that's the way I now understand it, even if I don't totally agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really give AF... so I'm counting my 6.4" towards my total whether I compress later or not lol... I'm not reporting to NWS so lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably compacting by now , by the way 1.25 is actually 1.3 if u were reporting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's the way I now understand it, even if I don't totally agree with it. That's a little confusing, but I see what you're saying. Oddly enough, it seemed there wasn't much compression with this one. It might be hard to believe, but the measurement I took at 12:00 p.m. is the same as it was a couple hours later. Granted, that time period consisted of mostly freezing rain, and I guess that light glazing wasn't enough to add or "compress" anything significantly. All that said, I'm going with 1.25" of sleet, snow, and a little bit of ice mixed in. It's like a frozen sandwich, so measuring ice separately is nearly impossible.
