Winds gusting to at least 30 MPH. 12.4° F. Damn, only around 4" down there? I had the SVT ski resorts as more. Maybe you can get 3" of sleet now.

EMontpelierWhiteout Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Snow intensity starting to ramp up here with reduced visibility. For some reason, State of VT already on a delayed opening for tomorrow. That never really happens for a 6-12 " storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Can someone more knowledgeable explain why the correlation coefficient radar only shows the sleet line around the perimeter of the radar range and not in closer to the radar itself? Does it have to do with the angle over the distance? Edit: Ok I managed to find a reference. It has to do with mixed precipitation types. So the bright area really is the “line”. Fascinating.

Does it have to do with the angle over the distance? Yes, it has to do with the beam height. You're seeing "sleet line" at a certain distance away from the radar because it's where snow aloft is melting into rain and refreezing back as sleet few thousand feet above the ground. Think of it as a mix zone with snow, rain, and sleet. The closer you are to radar, the lower into the atmosphere the radar beam is hitting so it's seeing mostly same stuff again (which is sleet in this case).

wxsniss Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Dualpol line has breached the outer 495 ring and midway to 128, ticking northeast HRRRs have been a touch behind ground obs all afternoon... Boston area flirting with and completing changeover 23z-0z. 3", maybe 4" in spots, should do it. Yeah NAM schooled the other models here. 40 disco + 14+ obs pages of posts... in a more typical winter, this event would have received more like 20 total pages of posts.

ORH_wxman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ripping pellets now. Between 3" and 4" it looks like. Lots of pixie dust in this and cruddy flakes so if this keeps up for a while we can def add another inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better explanation than mine, but I was rushing to lock up my birds. Correlation has to do with the size and shape of the hydrometeors being sampled. A high correlation indicates precip with similar properties. Mixed precip will have different sizes and shapes (drops, flakes, etc) and will have a lower correlation (ie they don’t match up as well).
