Even then though not sure since the backside of this doesn't look to have a big warm sector into E NY state that we often see that gets shoved over the Berkshires and ORH hills during FROPA. ORH, you say racing towards you, I understand quick mover, main "bulk" done say by 7pm??? thanks ahead of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Weird, JC. Snow here definitely has that look when the temps aren't ideal up above. Has that late March heavy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're predicting an ice storm for ORH? BOX only has 4" of snow for ORH now -- that leaves a lot of the QPF as something else, and you're saying it's all frozen...

I wouldn't say I'm predicting an "ice storm" though...that sort of implies they get a half inch of ice....they won't get that much because of residence time. They'll prob get about 4-5 tenths of their QPF as ice or so...and that will only equal about 1-2 tenths of accretion given the efficiency of accretion is lower during heavy precip.

Just in the time I'm typing I had fat to fine flakes with sleet still moving in. Prob some saturation issues above 700 initially...the mid-levels around 700-800 are marginal to support ice crystal formation so we're relying on seed-feeder....when you started initially, you may have had a dry pocket of air above 700 that caused the sleet....but you should be all snow the next 3 hours or so as the whole column saturates rapidly.
