I'm trying to get upstream obs and info so I can follow and anticipate what's coming next. Right now, it has almost stopped "precipitating" here. When I measured we had nice moderate snow, then it turned into almost like a light sleet mist, and now has almost stopped entirely. Not sure what to make of it. Sorry Steve... One thing I think will happen is that once precip shuts off this evening, we'll have a several hour period where temps spike above freezing in advance of the cold front. I think the worst driving is right now and things should improve greatly as the evening wears on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping the CAD holds for us in some manner as if the damn breaks and the HRRR/GFS depictions are right we are going into the 40's south of the turnpike.

Right now the sleet is pounding away. @Itstrainingtime , I just measured.3 of sleet, to got along with the 1.5 of snow, which brings me to 1.8 frozen for the event so far.

If you give me credit for the win, I'll take it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Big pingers with occasional flakes. While true snowfall did not quite add up, I love sleet. Worked out as I thought it would hoping for a little whitening on the back side. CAD held strong here. enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just came in, still sleet up to 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Looking down the road, the 12z GEFS is still very interested in next weekend for a potential Winter storm for us back here in the interior. It has a Miller B set up with a Storm developing along the coast. This certainly bears watching. We are at peak climo for temps, & there is some cold around. It just needs to be cold enough with a decent track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Well, we've been sleet for about 2 hours now, do I suppose were done with any quick accumulations at this point. Surface temps haven't really budged all afternoon (20 to now 24), but upstairs must have warmed quite a bit. One thing we didn't see is the "sleet bomb" that some others did. It's been mostly light to where it was more like a misty freezing drizzle. Even now, I have to really look at the streetlight to see if it's doing anything.

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The 12z Euro Op developed a good snowstorm for the far interior next weekend. It was really good for west of I-81 & around I-80 to the north. This certainly needs watching to possibly get the rest of us in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just some little freezing rain/drizzle now. Temp on the rise, now 31.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 @Cashtown_Coop , do you have any contacts at CTP to inquire about this? It looks like CTP didn’t bother to add the hours of accumulating sleet to the total at MDT today. They only put .8 of snow for the total at the 5pm update.

CarlislePaWx Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The end is quickly approaching as the models had the end in here by 0Z. I still have sleet with just a hint of freezing rain mixed in, enough to create a small crunch to the snow as I walked on it from my car. I'm going with 0.8" of snow and 0.5" of sleet. There could have been a little more sleet but I'm working without a board at the moment. So 1.3" snow/frozen with a trace of zr on top should do it. Temp is up to 30.2 degrees now. @Blizzard of 93 You always find a way to post something optimistic...lol...in this case the almost snowstorm next Saturday. I'm glad we might have something to track during the upcoming week. All the sleet should slow down the melting of the snowpack considerably. I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts until Wednesday or Thursday. Anyway, thank you for your posts and updates. Very much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I think I will end up with 2”. Pingers and then turned back to snow. Moisture just seem to dry up...few dry slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It looks like we are now done with this event in Marysville. I had 1.5 inches of snow & .5 of sleet for a combined total of 2 inches frozen for the event here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Cloudy and 33.2 here. Temp is up 6 degrees since 4:45pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just got in from getting everything cleaned up, we're getting patches of straight freezing rain now, with temps still near or slightly below 32ºF making for a nice glaze on everything. Totals were 1.2" of snow and 0.8" of sleet, making for an even 2.0" total... tied for the biggest snowfall of the season here lol. Roads and especially back streets are quite messy. Mesowest obs show temps have rocketed into the 40s in western PA and up to 37ºF now in JST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to need Blizz to keep us going as verbatim the LR models are literally punting into the second week of Feb. Jeff Feagles and Ray Guy are red with embarrassment as to how much punting they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
