CoastalWx Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 1 minute ago, The 4 Seasons said: Ryan has been posting on Twitter continual updates of ZR accumulation at KHVN. Does anyone know how to get updated ice accretion at the airport ASOS stations? The PNS statements are old, from 9:29AM You can add up the “I” column in the metar. But I think oceanst said be careful because it measures on flat surface and real accretion on surfaces like wires and trees does not work like that.

weathafella Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Shut off for now. Was snizzle/ip which coated the roads which are pretty bad. Dual pol seems to verify further south with mid line vs most guidance at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it’s just an algorithm off of the ZR sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 2 minutes ago, The 4 Seasons said: I'm ignorant here..help me out... I thought that was just total liquid that has fallen in the last hour/3hours/6hours whatever and not nessisarily ice acrettion due to factors like run off, temperature, expansion of water, etc etc.... HVN, for example is also reporting a mixture of UP and ZR, so there could be times of sleet mixing in as well. Not sure about HVN but here there was ZR then IP then back to ZR Just trying to figure out a valid method of reporting ice totals The I groups are 1,3,6 hr accretion. The regular P and 6 groups are 1,3,6 hour pcpn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
