powderfreak Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 2" on the board...most of the event was ZR it seemed. A lot of branches down locally but I'm in an area with a lot of evergreens. Havent seen any hardwood stuff down. But some of these evergreen branches are huge. DIT style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just under 2" of sleet, with a tiny bit of snow. Must had had some freezing rain too overnight as everything is sagging with glaze. Woke up to light snow, so a little bit of everything. Would have finally been epic back here with a colder airmass but still a neat storm. I can't remember one producing this much sleet. Maybe back in the 80's or 90's while in CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I looked at VT, but I guess the snow didn't pan out. I thought it would be at least some snow there closer to the pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wasn't thinking snow. Nam seems to have it as sleet. Not to say NAM is right, but it's got the hot hand this winter.. so I'll at least consider it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

512high Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Measured 3 areas, have to say just over 3" ASH, temp @ 31F, light wind 6mph, gust 11 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Took a walk with the dog. Measured in numerous spots. 3-3.5" but I'm guessing the wind piled it up so I'm sticking to my 3" report. Almost zero sleet. I know I got a little from the pings but the stuff on the ground is all snow. Roads are very slippery where they plowed due to freezing mist 29.2F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx2fish Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Pretty steady freezing drizzle the past few hours. Trees glazing up a little. Reported 2.8" earlier but it's probably more like 3.3" after taking a bunch of measurements around the yard. Not real uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main roads were mostly fine with a few exceptions, but I'd assume they are clear by now...back roads were snow/sleet covered, but I suspect they will be improving fairly rapidly today with salters out in force.

My experience with 100% sleet has been closer to 3:1, though it's a small sample as there's usually some ZR taint. Had 1" of heavily rimed 7:1 grit with temp 23-24F when I left the house at 6:30. Commute took 1:05 instead of the usual 45 min, and there was 5/8" of nearly pure ball bearings outside our office, which is 2 miles SE and 220' lower than the airport co-op site. Had a band of 40-45 dbz stuff pass over the house 8-9 AM and some 25-35 after that, and a call from the homefront about 8:15 reported very heavy (and near-horizontal) snow.

A lot depends on the temp too...if you are getting a pure scalping at like 31-32F, the ratio will be lower, but if it's 25F, then it will probably accumulate much better. Though in my experience, it's somewhat rare to get 100% sleet once you get colder than mid 20s...there's usually some really fine dust in there that aids in the accumulation. (since mid 20s at sfc usually means that you're probably in the teens around 900-925 which is cold enough for ice crystal nucleation) Last night here was def in the 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 range, but there was a lot of actual snow mixing in. There were periods where it went to just about all snow. The one great thing though about some good sleet is that it makes the snow banks look a lot better...looks more like an 8 inch storm than a 4 inch storm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
