1985 Polar Bear Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 30 degrees here and back and forth between sleet and freezing rain. GYX changed their forecast at 4 a.m. from emphasis on sleet to possible ice storm inland. Ugh: "If trends continue it could be possible to consider that we may end up in an ice storm situation in some the areas well inland." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It will keep the mountain open. Net gainer around here, and up at the cabin. Here in Lowell, ended up with 2" of frozen. No school today. Looks like sleet at the cabin as well. http://24.103.196.50/stream.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbenedet Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I was sleet/snow most of the night but at some point recently we flipped to heavy snow. Snowing heavily right now--visibility less than .25" mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well looks like the warmth aloft did better on the nam. Euro and gfs were a bit too cold, but you can't get mad on an error of a half degree. It was borderline and everyone pretty much hashed it out numerous times. Sleet b**ch.

moneypitmike Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just took stock of the situation. We actually do have a few inches of winter out there. The deck has surprisingly little though. 29.7* tick, tick, tick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Never had any liquid..A wire to wire sleeter at 31-32 the entire time.

Ryan Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Eyeballed 3-4" of snow/sleet at my house in Atkinson. It was almost all snow when I left at 5:45. Surprisingly, less accumulation at CON. 93 was a mess from Salem to Derry. Slushy, treated north of there. Sounds like DOT was going off of NWS' early Monday forecast of zero in that stretch...

backedgeapproaching Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 4.1" slight high bust. Not sure why i had snow for 3-4 hours, when every model had a massive ML torch here and I seem to be in a prone area. 4.1 on .81" LE, so there was definitely PL mixing in. Also might the be the only time in history I had more than Woodford vt which had 2" as of 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass was closer to 3" Wondering if there might either be a flip to snow later as slot fills in or maybe a sleety mix? Expand Zip, zero, nada in Brooklyn. Had an hour or 2 of sleet last night with no accum. Woke up to light rain, and the feel of a cold spring day. Over here in Manchester maybe 1" or so of sleet. This storm can't disappear fast enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
