Better than getting it as all ice I guess… 3" of sleet is a decent amount. If you are gonna sleet, it's best when it's an assload of the stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a good correlation between fun snowstorms up here and monster sleet events down there. The correlation is almost as strong as smoking cirrus up here and monster snowstorms down there . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedsnow Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 kind of a weird observation but I noticed when the models bring the cold over lake Ontario it takes awhile to cool the lower levels east of it.. could that be slowing the cold push on some models?
