CoastalWx Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Wonder if some of you getting slight CF enhancement where it’s cold below 900? That could generate medium flake size. The stuff above you is warm per radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been leery of the ice calls, but was got sucked in because of the uniformity of them. 0.0 ice. Surprised to see flakes--no sleet. Not sure if it's transient and we flip back to rain or if we might actually whiten the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Poking back in from SW Sullivan County NY again, elevation ~750 feet. It's been just straight rain. Indeed, the elevations were the place to be here. They're definitely getting their ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Dodged a bullet! Only about 0.3" of ice accretion. We went to sleet around 4-4:30 AM, which is much earlier than a lot of the model guidance had suggested. There's enough to cause some bending of the tree branches, especially the birches, and cause some twigs to come down. No significant damage or disruptions to power/telecom so far. Currently getting some light snow growth beneath the inversion, but the precipitation from aloft is sleet. Kind of weird and there's blowing snow around too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Straight snow of some type. Meanwhile, my Accurite must be reading high.

Typhoon Tip Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We just flashed froze here in Ayer. ...We had a thin sheen of watery sleet on the ground, cars and side-streets at dawn, but temps would not allow it to completely congeal as it was 32 .. 33 at most local Davis' type home-stations. Just in the last 45 min we're 31.4 (ish) at most sites, and the drizzle/pixie mixture has not only gone pure pixie, there is are small, steady light aggregates of snow accompanying. The water part of that slop is hardening quite fast! The snow ( I surmise ) must be nucleiating below 800 mb if those models were correct. There is an occasional ping along side the snow, furthering evidence of multi-layer genesis going on aloft. Fascinating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokeupthisam Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Driving south was strange to go from sleet into light snow with decent flakes, then back to pouring sleet in Portsmouth at 9am. Now light snow here in Portsmouth, with occasional pellets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
