That being said, sleet bombs are cool for that very reason. Would make a great base if only we could transition right back into real winter. The 5" of sleet we had here on St Patrick's Day 2007 lasted longer than I have ever seen snow last at that time of year. It also made a great cross country skiing surface. It's like the groomed machine snow at a downhill area. Only time I ever downhilled the woods behind my house. Sleet bombs rock. Enjoy it! Expand Haha. That's awesome. Long duration sleet storms are probably more rare than 18"+ snowstorms around here--takes a lot of different moving parts in the atmosphere to align for these events to happen.

Expand Absolutely. I can only think of 3 and all 3 were in 2007 (Valentines, St Patricks, and one in December). Here in Smithtown, St Patrick's dwarfed the other 2.

Expand I don't think this will be as much as March '07. There isn't quite as much QPF, but the main difference is the atmosphere is a lot warmer, esp surface temps, which will cut down on accumulations as some will melt as it lies.

But yeah, the St. Patrick's storm is in a league of its own. Nothing comes close. I'll never forget shoveling that one...a single scoop of the 7" of sleet was equivalent to lifting over 20" of snow. Might have as well been rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah probably not, but a few places might get close. That stuff doesn't really melt much...the bigger issue will be if they can get enough precip. Given the look of the radar, 4-5 shouldn't be out of reach. Assuming they don't flip to something else of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Winds probably topped out somewhere between 50-55 mph, hence why we got dropped down to wind advisories- you need winds close to 60 mph or above for high wind warnings to be verified.
