We have a quarter inch of ice. I don't have much experience with zr since I'm from coastal mass, but it appears to be a decent event considering over 25k have lost power. I'm curious to see what happens once the winds increase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 5 minutes ago, mahk_webstah said: It isn’t typical sleet. It very teeny sleet and other stuff mixed in Yeah, lots of small sleet pellets and a good amount of snow grains. I'm going to guess and say my visibility is only 1/2 to 3/4 miles but it is because of the snow grains. When I flip I will definitely post.

SouthCoastMA Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 54°, heavy heavy downpours. Yard is still flooded with about 1" of waterlogged snow and slush. Not sure how long that will stay with these temps. Ground is pretty saturated though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Pretty high impact storm here. 5”+ if dense baking powder snow followed by close to an inch of sleet. Should be some epic snowbanks in town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I took my first walk around the neighborhood. My first impression as that we were lucky we got over 32 when we did. This would've been a pretty severe ice storm if the freezing rain had persisted another few hours. One neighbor lost a large tree onto his house. It was obviously diseased, but even so you don't see a 5' diameter trunk snapped off at the base all that often. The white pines by the NHCC took a beating as well. There were several houses with severed power connections. I do wonder what the wind will do if the ice doesn't melt before the cold sets back in.
