Although I suppose it's possible. Large aggregates don't constitute good snowgrowth. That just means the flakes are sticking together because of a near freezing layer. The actual snowflakes composing the aggregate could themselves be either efficiently or inefficiently grown snow crystals. Seems like the predominate crystal habit here has improved to dendrites... albeit fragmented and heavily rimed. It's piling up much more quickly now. Also, I always understood aggregation to decrease snow density since the mechanical locking of flakes traps lots of empty space, even in the absence of dendrites.

cleetussnow Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=DIX-HHC-1-24 mid leviels are cooling to the west looks like as the storm pulls east and according to that radar. it shows snow for me and but that's too loud to be snow. North of HPN pingers now off and on still. Bad snowgrowth. Probably lost out on 3 or 4 inches to sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
