mattinpa Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Temperature doesn't seem to be budging here at 27 degrees. If we get heavy returns, it's still going to be a dangerous storm here even with sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I will do. Here is one from right now. There was about 2 inches on the table to begin with, i didn't clear it off before the storm.

I am ****ing relaxed pal! but seriously hope you're right but half of that is more likely.maybe six inches since we'll likely get 3 inches of sleet with all this qpf.

WeatherNC Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 26 miles from the leading edge of the transition zone, not sweating yet much further north than I anticipated. Even Allentown looks to flip here shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 4 inches here of cement. probably at least an inch of sleet maybe more that compacted the 3.5" of snow. now 90% sleet with rain mixing in...maybe changing to rain now in this heavy band... no mention of that in the "blizzard" warning that Mt holly inexplicably still has up. temp has been wavering between 30 and 31. plain rain coming soon it looks.

That mix line continues to move north.... wondering it makes past the blue mt ridge line to the north into the Poconos.... unfortunately I have seen it often when the line makes it north of the philly burbs it is huge bust for all with a lucky inch or two of wraparound at the end.

I don't see anyone getting more than 2 or 3 inches on the back side that is currently in all sleet. maybe Lehigh Valley gets 3-6 more since they'll transition quicker. just too much warm air to overcome. would be nice for any of the pros on TV or in the nws in the area to step up and explain what may happen but none have done so...Pretty telling to me. shows they know they blew this one and don't want to admit failure until it's over.

(5" on back end.....but then LOOK at how powerful that storm was) Picture the low spinning up the coast, all of that warm, juicy air over the ocean. If it has a slight east movement to it, the land can avoid that air....but when it moves almost due north, it's going to wrap that warmer air into pretty much as far inland as our current changeover every time, unless we have REALLY cold air.....the kind only Jan-Feb can provide. (even then it would still mix some, but the snow would be more stubborn to leave and come back earlier on back end) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Oh boy. 28 here, pingers started around 3:30, still sleeting with an occasional gust. Can't say I can recall this lengthy of a sleet fest. I do have one window frozen over, guess I'll take a pic of that instead of a pile of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just flipped almost instantly back to heavy blinding snow. Snowing sideways and very windy. Flakes the size of silver dollars! Easily near blizzard to blizzard conditions right now. Absolutely epic! Just kidding, driving sleetstorm here. Only thing epic is this bust. Makes 2001 look like kid stuff.
