SleetStormNJ Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Interested to see what develops later. Can see precip backbuild into NJ and some coastal effect taking shape. Even if light, should maintain the wintry feel rest of day into tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're riding the NAM looks like there's a second wave that favors interior areas and then a third wave that might give immediate coastal areas another round. We'll have to see if it verifies.

I just kept hearing a prolonged event with round 2 is it supposed to develop later? some models have it late tonight into tomorrow. I doubt it will come anywhere near what we all had in the initial round....IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 25/21/N3/Freezing mist again After getting a beautiful, fluffy 2+" I went out to move it and it started sleeting and now it's a snow soaking, ice coating disaster unfolding.

RU848789 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 1 hour ago, RU848789 said: Did some "forensics" and closely inspected the snow "column" and I have about 3" of snow underneath about 1/2" of the mixed rimed snow/sleet (was definitely looking like pure sleet in there and others have said we had sleet while I was gone). If that layer is ~3:1 like most sleet, then 1/2" of it is about 1.6" of 10:1 snow, meaning I would have had about 4.6" of snow if it had been all regular snow, which makes more sense. Right now it keeps going back and forth between pure sleet (I checked it closely and it's sleet) and giant aggregates of snowflakes - if we could get an hour of these aggregates, we'd accumulate pretty quickly, but I have no clue what we're going to get for the next 1-2 hours whlie we're still getting decent precip. I did predict "3.5" of snow, then 1" of sleet (3" snow equivalent) on Thursday, then 1.5" of snow on Friday over a long period" yesterday for my house, which could end up being close. So, we got almost all sleet since this post around 1:00 pm, when I cleared the board (it had been 6 hours), and we got another 1/2" of sleet over the last 1.5 hours, so that makes 4.0" of snow/sleet, which includes about 1" of sleet, which is equivalent to about 3.3" of snow (if one uses a conservative 3" sleet to 1" liquid to 10" snow (some use 2.5:1), 1" sleet is equivalent to about 3.3" of snow). So I have a "snow equivalent" of 6.3", which I'm pretty happy with. I usually shovel in shots, but I was out today, so I did it all at once and it absolutely felt like ~6" of snow. Would've been much prettier to have had all snow, but plenty of models were showing sleet up through the 95 corridor, so can't complain. Would be nice to get another inch or two tonight/tomorrow morning. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointed, was hoping for 6" +, because I'm a greedy duck. Only reason we got warm air intrusion is because the precip slacked off too quick.

Yeah - a bit of an "under" but not a terrible winter event, definite winter feel still out there. Looks like some possibility of some nuisance precip through this evening.

Thanks for measuring, I did earlier before the sleet and saw 3.5...didn't sleet too long, but enough to ruin any additional accumulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
