Heavy sleet in Douglaston

Glad some of you got a couple inches but it really sucked here. Scratched out roughly an inch before turning to rain. Gonna watch tv. Stay safe all.

Where in TR are you? I’m at the Manchester border, inland. Definitely a cold spot in TR.

My grass is coated in mixy sleet / ice along with our cars, but p-type appears plain rain. 

I'm right along the river just east of downtown

Sleet mixing in. Hear it pinging off windows and ac unit.

Aargh sleet! Man down man down!! 

You might go back for snow with the heavier echo about to move over you?

[psv88]

Absolutely dumping parachutes. Measured 3.1”. Temp up to 30.0

[ag3]

I’m still 50/50 snow/sleet.

Temp 29.3

Mainly sleet here now in Bayside, right around 3”. I wonder when Central Park took their measurement 

[psv88]

Are those yellow echoes snow in central Nassau? Looks like the sleet line has washed out on CC…

As of 9:30 pm we have 1.0" of snow/sleet mix on the ground at 28F.  Went for a drive locally on 287, 1, and 531 in Metuchen/Edison just to see what it was like and everything, including 287 and 1 was snow-covered and slippery with people going 30-40 mph mostly.  1010 WINS said lots of accidents (mostly fender benders) out there; I saw one on the shoulder of 287.  Was pouring alternating snow and sleet and mix and now we're just about all sleet, although it seems like "larger" sleet pellets than usual for some reason and judging by a few other posts in our area, we're locked in to heavy sleet for awhile.  Would rather have snow, but it's still pretty gorgeous out there.  Radar still looks healthy. 

Switched over to freezing rain a few minutes ago, earlier than expected, so I just took my final measurement of 1.25" of sleet/snow, bringing our season total up to 12.4".  Disappointing we didn't get the 2.5" of snow/sleet I guesstimated and especially would've liked more snow, but that's the way it goes sometimes.  Not loving having an hour or more of ZR, which could put down 0.1" or more of ice with temps at 29F.

Sleet mixing.  About 3 OTG so probably will wind up about 3.5 of solid snow toped with crust when its over.  Not getting 5 to 8.  Oh well.

[WestBabylonWeather]

3” now

snow and sleet mix

All out sleet downpour here. Don't think I've ever seen it sleet this hard before.

[psv88]

Snow/sleet mix now, 3.5” down

[wishcast_hater]
