The Iceman Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Not sure shoveling was the best idea, now there’s a glaze of ice over everything. Heavier echoes have mixed in sleet but overall just light freezing rain, cars and other non treated surfaces are beginning to become encased in ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, RU848789 said: Of course that band is sleet, damn - best looking band of the storm lost to sleet. The dual pol looked like it and verified. Final (I think) snow measurement as of 8:30 am was 2.3" and I cleared the board to measure the sleet (which does get added to the snow, although sleet is much more dense than snow - typically 1" of liquid translates to 3" of sleet and 10" of snow). Hopefully the freezing rain holds off for awhile, although the temp has jumped up to 28F... Well, we flipped to freezing rain a little while ago, but it did sleet pretty decently for 30-45 minutes, which put down 0.1" of sleet before the ZR, so our final total for the storm is 2.4", which is a bit of a bust vs. the NWS advisory for 3-5" and my prediction of 3.2", but still a nice storm if you like snow and it'll be around to enjoy for at least a week and might even be topped off on Friday. I recall being excited, but a bit skeptical when the NWS-Philly bumped up their forecast yesterday afternoon; in hindsight their 2-4" forecast for 95 and most of CNJ/NNJ/NEPA would've been better. I cleared a small paved area when it changed to sleet and yes, it's now covered with the 0.1" of sleet and a glaze of ice on top, which will likely get worse for untreated paved surfaces, as temps are still only 29F and freezing rain continues to fall until early afternoon here with temps only forecast to reach 32F. Time for some sleep, then some shoveling... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Still snowing lightly here in Allentown. Looks like about 3” here. Hopefully we get some backbuilding going on as we’re just barely missing that precip in the Philly burbs right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Going to try to avoid removing any of the snow from the car until this thing is done due to the ZR that will inevitably encase everything (as noted from folks above). Might be time for a Currently 27 with moderate ZR and dp 26. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Still a steady light snow out there. We briefly mixed with sleet but we’re all snow again. Hoping this little band keeps expanding and drops another inch or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Continues to snow lightly here in East Nantmeal have picked up some minor additional accumulations from the snow and earlier sleet. Will do the final measure when the precip stops. Looks like I will need to go back out and shovel or sweep again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyweather Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Guesstimating 4” or so maybe a bit more in Bethlehem. Still moderate snow but starting to wind down. Cmc and RGEM smoke is Friday 8+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Still have ZR with a temp of 27 and dp of 26. The back edge seems to be near but don't want to touch the blanket of snow on the car. Makes me want to do like those old grandmas in South Philly would do - boil a pot of water, open the door and dump it out on the front stoop, and then come back inside and call it a day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
