Google Hillbilly Weatherman, he'll give you the S.H.I.T. 21.9/20, looks like snow may be moving through a thin warm (>32) layer and partially melting/re-freezing. Looks like 3-3 1/2" out there.

Your area will be interesting. All models show severe downsloping NW of the Whites with like 50kt gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 We will see how much sleet there is to shovel should be interesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Getting absolutely scalped here with pixie dust. I'm betting this will be the 2nd storm this year getting over an inch of sleet. Not easy to pull off multiple times in one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR was always 30min-1hr behind in sleet advance. Euro was my reason for the higher 3-6" range in Boston area, but that too was too cold. RGEM... has been off this season, I didn't give any weight. And most importantly: 18z GFS still has snow/sleet line at MA/CT border at 0z lol I will say the RGEM was too far north at 48 hours with the sleet but it was the first model to indicate that mid-level warmth was coming north. It came south, the NAM family came north, and the GFS still thinks it's cold at H75. As usual a blend of everything and SWFE climo (mid-level warmth moves north faster than global models think) seemed to be the right play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiktock Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Still snowing pretty nice here in Plaistow. Maybe 3-4" so far. Light fluffy stuff. Took my 2 year old out to walk around. Snow up to his tiny boots seemed deep to him. Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually thought I'd make 5" for a time because I ripped about 2" of baking powder in the first two hours but the rates then turned kind of crappy between 3-5pm which cost me before ramping up the final 45-60 min prior to flipping. Once the sleet is added in it'll clear 4"....still a win in this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tavwtby Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 absolute scalping here, estimate about 2" of just sleet, crazy how it calms down for a few then ramps up again... gonna be hell clearing this up...20/14...& nearly 5" of snow and ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom12309 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Interesting stuff in Schenectady. Very small sleet about like granulated sugar or sand and at the same time very small snow flakes like it was drizzling snow at about 15 degrees in my back yard. It's been doing this since about 4pm after maybe six inches of snow fell in the afternoon. I wonder what the air column must be like up there because I get how sleet works but the mix is something that puzzles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 1.5" here so far with moderate rate of snow falling (0.5-0.75"/hr). Estimating we're 2-3 hours away from pinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual a blend of everything and SWFE climo (mid-level warmth moves north faster than global models think) seemed to be the right play. Agree I think 2 other variables that meh-ed this event, even with H75 advance and timing of sleet changeover as it was: 1) the poor snow growth: it was baking soda just about the entire event... the lift was always significantly displaced from the DGZ... decent dendrites for the past 6 hours and we'd have a different tune in here 2) the initial thump was actually kind of meager: guidance last night was hinting at a more robust thump, ~0.5+ qpf for parts of SNE before a changeover... and then it kind of back off today. It came in like a wall but then was pretty meager the middle 3-4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the air column must be like up there because I get how sleet works but the mix is something that puzzles me. The cold layer below the melting layer is cold enough to produce its own small snow crystals. The problem is, there isn’t enough lift in that level to really get any decent snow growth. So you end up with sleet and snow grains. A human observer would code it -PLSG. ASOS is automated so it usually just gets called -SN. I really only see -SG from MWN.

powderfreak Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Eyeballing 1.5" or so here so far...bout 1/2" per hour since it started. Very dry snow but growth is terrible, like it usually is in mid-level warming events. Should ramp up in the 9pm to midnight time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
