CTP’s 9 pm forecast discussion writes off anything of substance due to temps. Lol....Did you not read my post??? I said snow to mix... No one thought this was a pure snow event. CTP is on their 5th idea of the day for this minor event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Well, I went outside again to look at my snowboard and to my amazement another 0.1" had fallen over the past 2 hours! (lol). I'm probably not going to know if any more falls before the mix since any sleet that falls will compact the tiny amount of snow. But, it's nice to see the ground "white" maybe for the next 12 hours before it melts. Temp has dropped almost 0.5 degree over the past hour and is now at its low of 28.8 degrees.

MAG5035 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Half decent burst of snow currently. It's been generally a very fine grainy type snow most of the evening. Measured 0.4", which brings the day's total to 0.6" as I woke up first thing this morning to a light coating (0.2") to start the day. Maybe we'll graduate to measuring whole inches again this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they are guessing instead of forecasting. Not a who lot of precipitation on the radar this morning.Most of it is to the north and sporadic.

pasnownut Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Nada in Akron. Flurries for a bit before bed. That’s it. onto the next one.....or the one after that..... ............. ugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Maybe this will be the one that delivers this Sunday or Monday? The 0z Euro delivered a crushing snowstorm by early next week. All of the models show a storm. The details of course need sorted out over the next few days. Hopefully this time everything trends in the right direction for snow.

Itstrainingtime Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 As pretty much expected...ended with the tracest of Traces last night. 5 minutes of flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 0.5” snow/sleet from 0.15” qpf. Currently 28 with a sleet freezing rain mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It just started pouring sleet mixed with a little freezing rain. A heavy sleet shower for several minutes. Enough to hear a good crunch walking on it. Temp 30.0 and slowly rising. Final snowfall was 0.2" which melted down to 0.06". A little bit of sleet made it into the gauge before I brought it inside which might be slightly inflating the liquid equivalent. For the time being the snow that fell last night is still keeping the ground white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 What's the difference between a trace and .1"? That I'm sure is a dumb question, but I don't really know exactly. .1" is ... nothing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By true definition, a trace is when you confirm precip hits the ground, ie a rain drop or snow flake etc. 0.1” of snow or rain is enough to officially measure on a snow stick or a rain gauge. Hope that helps. Edit: liquid would be 0.01” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I'm sure is a dumb question, but I don't really know exactly. .1" is ... nothing lol. I have a small metal ruler that I can use for anything up to 6". After that I switch to my 1 meter snow stick (NWS approved because I got it from them). The rulers are ticked down to 0.1" increments. Once I have more than 0.05" it goes from a trace up to 0.1". A trace is anything from flurries that amount to nothing on the ground, on up to a literal dusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mag did a little better than me I counted about 30 flakes last night before bed. Thats my trace..... Currently gloomy w/ nothing falling here. Does anyone have a new can for me? I kicked this one so many times, that its shot and shredded....just like our storms. What a waste of a "good" period. Just another way for us to be snakebit i guess. Ok, my Debbyin is done....for now. Hoping nooners continue to show some continuity for early next week. Yesterday started that w/ CMC/GFS/ICON and EURO all showing signs of something. Lets not widen goalposts today and that'll be a win IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Off and on sleet so far this morning that put down a very light coating on the ground. 29f at the current time. The flakes from last night were just that, flakes. If I hadn't got up to answer mother nature's call, I wouldn't have looked out the window, and wouldn't have even known it flurried...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I will record 0.1" of snow today (maybe more if I get more sleet) because that heavy sleet shower easily measured more than a trace. I think most everyone around here knows that the NWS treats sleet the same as snow for measuring purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
