DeltaT13 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Ok well now that I’m in the red stuff it’s the weirdest mix of enormous flakes and sleet. Much easier to drive in but I should probably go back north and get into the snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still epic stuff ...AN AREA OF HEAVY SNOW WILL AFFECT PARTS OF ONTARIO...LIVINGSTON... WYOMING...ORLEANS...WAYNE...GENESEE...MONROE...NIAGARA...AND NORTHERN ERIE COUNTIES... HAZARDS...An area of EXTREMELY heavy snow which can rapidly reduce visibility to less than a quarter of a mile. This area of heavy snow is producing extremely heavy snow at the rate of over 4 inches inches per hour. LOCATION AND MOVEMENT...At 1250 AM EST, the leading edge of the heavy snow was from Niagara Falls to Brockport moving north at 20 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sleet with freezing rain here now. 23 degrees. That warm layer aloft must be deep to be getting rain at 23 degrees…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarbear Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Got up about 10 minutes ago to decide if I want to bother with going to work. Maybe 1”/hr here currently. Looking at Radar and all you guy’s reporting the 2-4” snow just to my south and moving north. Nah no thanks, no driving today . But what I did notice and I don’t recall who said it but the snow sounds crunchy/icey as it’s falling . Wow in the couple minutes typing this things have exploded in the snowfall rate dept….

I hear it, but it looks just like snow, and I don't see any pellets bouncing off surfaces. Yeah same here, just looking outside it looks like snow but I can definitely hear something, it's just not sleet or graupel lol I'm also getting some bigger flakes mixing in..

BGM Blizzard Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Nodded off on the couch and missed my 12:20 measurement... still getting nice dendritic growth with no signs of mixing to this point. We are up to 6.1... that's 3" in the past 2 hours. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It’s like giant pieces of shaved ice are coming down. This is the weirdest shit but it’s still stacking up so I take it. This will be the greatest base layer. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
