Lady Di Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Right @ 32 w/freezing rain. Going to end up with more rain than anything else down here. Lots and lots of RAIN....ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Getting a mix of powdery snow with a little rain mixing in at times. Since the ground temp is still below freezing (31) the snow is dusting colder/untreated surfaces. Dp has been bopping around the upper 20s to 30 so am getting a little fog too.

wkd Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Well that was fun for 10 minutes. Back to very light snow. 26F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Moderate snow here now. Winds have veered around out of the NNE. Classic CAD doing its work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 As heavier precip moves back in we go to a Sleet/Snow mix as it lightens up back to mainly ZR - temp up to 29.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very classic setup with the NW burbs in it for the long haul. R u in Trenton today or home in L-town? Home in ltown today. They closed the state which I was pretty surprised about. Took a drive to Trenton though for my normal breakfast and it wasn't that bad out. Slick in less traveled roads, main highways like route 1 and 13 were just wet though. Starting to mix with a little snow in a lull now though, didn't expect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrrr last night was showing the warm nose in our area between 6-9am then eroding with cooling taking place aloft after 9am so it actually nailed that aspect. Doing rather well with thermals thus far at least up this way. 29F and moderate snow/sleet mix.

JSharp Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 52 minutes ago, KamuSnow said: Currently 31F and freezing rain here, slept through the changeover so to speak. Did pick up an additional 0.2" after my last measurement at 2 am, which makes the storm total 3.9". Seasonal total is now 14.7", slowly inching towards respectability. Hope everyone up north does well today! Glad I dressed up the snow pile last night (at 2 am), lol. Awesome! I finished with 4.1". I noticed that the HRRR actually gets us to go back below freezing between 2 and 4 PM. That would be interesting if that happened. It has been nailing temps so far.

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Latest hrrr delays 32f surface temps another 2 hours later now for this area til after 7pm. If that trend continues the batch that was supposed to be all rain overnight could theoretically begin as frozen. ETA: here is extremely close to a minimal change to rain. Even hints that when the convective line blows thru it mixes and isnt plain rain just N of here....possibly signaling rain, pinger mix.

ChescoWx Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Now over to mainly snow here in NW Chester County and almost moderate visibility down quite a bit over last few minutes- a bit surprised as I expected mainly IP and ZR before the change to rain this PM.

Newman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yeah this is going to be a complete sleet storm here. No freezing rain. No snow. All sleet. Temp locked in so far at 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Some sleet with mostly freezing rain. Picked up about 0.2 inches of sleet so far. 2.9in storm total. The sleet only compacted the total snowcover from 2.1in to 1.9in and there is that 0.2 thick layer of ice on top now that will break with about 5 pounds of pressure. The freezing rain is filling in the sleet making a smoother surface, I just wish it would deep freeze now instead of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 For far northern zones, precip remains as snow, but the snow/sleet freezing rain line continues to creep to the north. Snow totals remain in the 2-4" to 3-5" range for Lehigh Valley, NW NJ, and southern Poconos. Ice accumulations will be a bigger threat, with isolated ice amounts of 0.50" or more, but think up to 0.25" will be the story elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasingFlakes Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 After 30 mins of zr, its sleeting moderately to hard right now. If this was snow it would be in the 0.5-1.0in an hour range forsure. If it keeps up for any appreciable amount of time, it may start sticking to the roads.

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Have been fooling around with getting Bufkit up and running again (had it installed on a linux machine a bunch of years ago and finally getting around to getting the latest version on my newer windoze laptop). It has been switching back and forth between a snow/rain mix and a snow/ip/rain mix here. There's about 0.1" of slop snow/ip/FZRA coating where the area had been cleared. Temp just went to 32 so now getting more water on top of whatever coating of ice had accumulated.This almost looks like an old-school clown map.

Newman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 SUMMARY...A wintry precipitation mix will persist into the afternoon across the northeast states. Mostly freezing rain is expected from central to southeast PA with rates from .03 to locally .1 inch per hour. From southern NY to southeast NY and northern NJ, areas of moderate to heavy snow should transition to freezing rain toward noon or by early afternoon. Farther north from east central NY into northern CT, western MA and southern VT, areas of mostly moderate to heavy snow are expected. DISCUSSION...A large, mature winter storm is in progress over portions of the northeast states. Surface low will deepen over MI within zone of strong forcing for ascent accompanying a progressive shortwave trough. This process will result in a strengthening (60+ kt) southerly low-level jet shifting northward through PA, NY and southern New England later this morning into the afternoon. The interaction of the low level jet with the east-west oriented baroclinic zone will augment isentropic ascent, promoting a continued northeast expansion of the precipitation area. Bands of moderate to heavy snow promoted by an increase in frontogenetic forcing will develop northeast with time through central and eastern NY. While farther south from southern NY, northeast PA into northern NJ and southern CT, increasing warm advection along low-level jet corridor will contribute to northward advance of the melting layer aloft, eventually resulting in a transition from snow to sleet and freezing rain. Precipitation should remain freezing rain across central and southern PA this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Pixie dust mixing in with sleet, I'd say half and half. Still heavy precip, cutting visibility to about a mile. No dendrites just columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
