I agree just a matter of patience right now......between 1am and 4am rates should be heavy. I want this to change now, just gotta wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know I was one of the "assholes" driving 20-30mph on the way home from Carlisle today. Had plenty of people in pickup trucks swing out and pass me at 40-60 and then almost spin out as they hit drifts/piles from plows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First two cams I looked at one dude was spinning out off the road...another one a guy was stuck in the middle of an uphill bridge. The guy that was spinning out almost got hit by a pick up flying by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 According to my drone app, the temperature at 5,000ft dropped 2 degrees back to 30. Perhaps I may have dodged the sleet bullet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 @Eskimo Joe I just read some of your analysis in the Mid Atlantic thread on the possibility of changing back to snow in northern MD.

jm1220 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 State College with 9.5" from what I saw? Could be some really big amounts there with the band shifting east again. 18+ I'm thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherBell doesn't include sleet in it's snow map like TT does. There's a separate accumulation map for sleet (using a 3:1) map. Which brings the question, does anyone have any noteworthy sleet accumulations to report? Typically I'll measure and clear when a transition occurs and measure the sleet separately.
