SnowlieSnowstormson Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I just can't believe how much potential this storm had on paper and how much of a flop (relative to modeled potential in the days leading up) it ended up being for most locations in SNE. 20-60% underperformer.

Expand I was going to say that it looked suspicious to me that we'd be getting sleet 25 miles north of the dual-pol line. We're getting a mix of rimed flakes and small flakes here - definitely feels like sleet but I don't think it is. Visibility is back up to about .75sm though after being whiteout earlier. Measured 5.3", but given I had 3.1" 2 hours ago and the rates we've had, I would have expected higher. Ratios are definitely bad though here, we're under 10:1 for sure. I was able to take a core out of the pack by just using a ruler and cutting a circle and pulling it out - don't have any way to melt it down to confirm it but I'd guess it's 7-8:1.
