It’s the precip over western Pennsylvania that will raise your temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you've seen my sometimes exhaustive (lol) posts on this, but I strongly believe sleet is almost as impactful as snow and that people greatly underestimate the impact of sleet because 3:1 ratio sleet is only about 1/3 the depth of 10:1 snow. Problem with that thinking is that for 1" of sleet and 3.3" of snow, for example the frozen mass is the same and frozen mass is all that really matters for driving and snow/sleet removal; and, in fact, sleet will melt more slowly than snow, given its much lower surface area per unit volume vs. flakes, since melting occurs at the surface and less SA means slower melting. The one exception to impact is that sleet obviously has nearly no impact on visibility, which does matter. Agreed w your science. Also more painful when wind driven and moderate. Save that info for future posts... What now must occur is better science translating the sleet into proper accumulative amounts in these algorithms that bias very high in mixed precip. Gotta walk the dog before the ice pellets or heavier snow arrives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 We are about to changeover to sleet or freezing rain in the NW Philly burbs where I am now in Phoenixville. That line is rapidly advancing east. It's still about 25 degrees outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
