With a broad trough like this, it's hard to get the flip to straight snow for everyone. Elevation will be the deciding factor...probably going to be a lot of sleet.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Sleet requires snow to melt and then refreeze, right? Or it requires rain to freeze. Either way, you have to have a layer of cold deep enough for that to happen. So, I would think that for places like here in Winchester, once the layers above start going below freezing, we are going to flip to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is orographic infuence of strong easterly flow is temporarily helping the column out your way. Once the heavy rates move through the column probably deteriorates again. Just a guess.
