Birds~69 Posted Thursday at 08:58 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:58 AM Had some light sleet about a half hour ago. Now just light rain and 30°. Took a walk out front and the payment is just wet, not slick. I don't think I even received a flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted Thursday at 10:20 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:20 AM Roads just wet but they salt and brine the hell out of everything up here. Sidewalks a tad icy in spots, trees and other a coating of ice. Pretty much just a cold rain as far as travel.... 29F/ rain . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penndotguy Posted Thursday at 10:30 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:30 AM 30F moderate sleet nice coating on all surfaces roads are a mess out this way, getting ready to head to work in Morgantown Pa. edit: took a measurement before leaving .5” sleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted Thursday at 11:46 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:46 AM Still getting ZR (moderate) and although I am registering 0.05" in the bucket, I expect the tipper might be frozen. Temp is 31 with dp 30 (earlier fog/low stratus appears to have dissipated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted Thursday at 12:34 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:34 PM Looks like I'm 100% ZR now. Coating of ice and sleet on all surfaces, including my street which was brined. 31F/DP 29F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted Thursday at 01:25 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:25 PM Nice glazing of ice out there, and while the garbage trucks appear to be making the rounds, I'm certainly not going anywhere for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM 32° and ZR. Totally shafted out of any snow. Glaze on trees and grass. Roads are fine, I can make a turn at 70 mph if needed. Appears to be a little fog out there unless cataracts is setting in . Onto the next event... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM .30" sleet and graupel zero snow currently 33F All guidance obviously dropped the ball on frozen precipitation N&W areas Radar estimates are .25-50". Looking at the frozen and water in my gauge appears I received between .40-.50" Despite the frozen bust a pre salted walkway is now the slipperiest surface known too man I challenge anybody to try. The driveway is going to be trouble if it doesn't melt today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted Thursday at 06:03 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:03 PM Looks like this system is pretty much out of here. I ended up with 0.1" of ice accretion but found that out back on colder grassy areas (back faces NE), there was about 0.2" IP (sleet) that had fallen overnight. None of that was out front, which was heavily treated and faces SW, or even on my patio, but was away from the house and in open areas nearby. Currently a misty 34, with some fog/low stratus, and a dp 34. Bucket tips resulted in 0.08" liquid, as anything that had accumulated in there and froze, has melted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted Thursday at 06:52 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:52 PM Picked up 0.10 inches of ice due to freezing rain and also a trace of sleet. Next! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted Thursday at 09:50 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:50 PM Ended up with probably less than .1" of ice, but did get 0.56" of rain, so at least there's that. Had some sleet, I guess, before the change over to freezing rain. The ice was cool for the short time that it existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
