Sleet pounding on the windows right now The Nam forecast soundings I looked at last night and this morning were all over this. Showed a warm nose this morning with the mid levels cooling to an isothermal sounding for a couple of hours resulting a a turn to snow right around when it did and mixing back before 3pm (right on schedule there's more sleet than snow here now). I was actually having my doubts about a flip to snow after 12 noon, but the model had it right. Back down to 32 here with a sleet/snow mix. Everything is covered, including the street. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured intuitively that when the ground gets wet it matches the wet bulb temp so that should be the highest temp freezing rain can fall, wet bulb=32! Also, when it's falling really hard, rain may not freeze even when the temp is below 32! (by a couple degrees). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Sleet and a very cold rain mix going on over here. On a side note, it hurts very much when sleet hits you in the eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could still be freezing rain, but whatever is falling is not making any noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 What a mix out there. It was heavy wind driven snow for a while then flipped to heavy sleet and now it's both. There are all sorts of flake types and sizes from tiny grains and cylinders to huge parachutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
