DomNH Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Not a hint of sleet or ice in the pack. Don't think we transitioned beyond snow grains in the dry slot. Didn't measure before clearing but looked like a solid 3'' at least. Good enough to cover the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Steady snow/graupel mix has started up. I was kind of ready to be done since I've already cleared the driveway. Twice. Whatever falls stays put at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Rare for Greenfield to be one of the JP zones but these are the events to do it in. I almost feel like the higher hills to my WSW help enhance snow here when the precipitation is coming in at this trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 First of all i don't want people to have property damage or harm to anyone on this forum or out there in the real world. But what i want or wish or not wish to happen doesn't change anything we all know this. Snow storms cause millions of dollars in damage, loss of life and property etc but i think we can all agree that we want snow, big snow, recording breaking KUs. So what's the difference? What's the difference between that and ice storms? It's winter weather and it looks "wintry." We're all here because we love extreme weather, record highs, record lows, tornadoes, snow storms, wind, squalls whatever. All of those cause damage and loss life, it's just a fact. To me ice storms are no different. It's wintry outside, it's not plain boring rain that i would otherwise forget even happened. Trees are crackling, roads are icy, the grass looks like frozen death spikes and most importantly this will go down in the record books and its something to watch and measure. If it's not going to snow i'd rather have ZR then PL. That's just my opinion/perspective on things. Today was one of those days when you used to watch the weather channel back in the day and it said "Wintry Mix" with that animated graphic icon. We got snow and sleet, then zr then back to sleet then back to zr, mixed both of them again, then all zr. It was a wintry day no doubt. Oddly temperatures rising again. Back up to 31F and freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
