Then flip back to a mix and end as snow as the cold tuck undercuts the warmth aloft. This whole winter has been like nostalgia for the 80s, because almost every big event (outside of April 1982 and February 1983) that happened here in the 80s was like this.

Sleet is also an icestorm Kev as you probably know sleet gets measured as snow (at lower ratios, like 2:1). Frozen precip totals (what we call "snow totals") are actually a measurement of both snow and sleet added together. Freezing rain (glaze) gets measured and put in the books as just rain and only added to the liquid precip totals, not the frozen ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important to get the best info out there vs inflate expectations only to crash them back to reality just before (or during) go time. 18 vs 20", not that big of a deal. My expectations are 14/15" anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just about equally likely at this point that QPF busts as low as a borderline warning event as it is over 1.5" for SNE. Your Pike north line, that gives you goalposts of safely like 5 to 15" right now. Not a bad spot to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was NOT following my own rule of keeping it in a range. Maybe I can blame it on lack of coffee, not the fine folks in Gray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 If the 12z runs come in colder like the 6z runs, I would say confidence would be high enough for a Winter Storm Warning on the Cape, 6" or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with that being the upper end of the range though. I'm more comfortable with the 12-18" range at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgeek Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I always thought that the NAM is usually the model that sniffs out the mid level warmth that often results in pingers making it farther north. And now it keeps trending south as several of the other models bring the warmth further north. I know it’s usually good at recognizing low level cold being a meso and all. Interesting last hour model battle. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything a few miles south with h85 HIRES NAM shows throughout the storm a northeasterly surface wind over the Cape, means freezing rain and sleet is a great possibility over rain falling, I think we see 6"+ total from the storm, I think its a mistake for the NWS not to bring us into a winter storm warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
