Waiting for the pings, lol. 25F. It's mainly sleet with some freezing rain mixed in here in New Brunswick so it must be IP/ZR in Metuchen as well.

yak Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Now changed over to a mostly sleet mixture in downtown Reading at @ 23 degrees... Looks like some bright radar echos south of Allentown so I imagine parts of the Lehigh Valley will be receiving a mix as well very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE CHANGE OVER WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE UPPER LEHIGH VALLEY AFTER 300 AM. Correct...I am quite sure that I would be considered the lower lehigh valley And another FYI the 6 Z NAM now keeps from ABE northeast into NE PA below freezing! And temp has now dropped to 21 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 ABE and XLL have seen a significant visibility rise in the last 30 minutes... likely mixing with sleet now. Even larger visibility rise at UKT signals transition to all sleet/freezing rain there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 ASOS doesn't know what sleet is...it may report freezing rain, snow, or unknown precip when its sleeting. However, note that the visibility is now 4 miles.. much higher than the 1 1/4 it reported an hour ago. Its a sure sign its transitioned to sleet.

Just came back in from outside..i would say it is...in the transitioning stage but it was still snow with sleet...probably very shortly it will be completely sleet but still does not negate it was expected by 1:30 AM here... Oh and yes my software does detect the difference cause it is now showing snow/sleet with the latest update ..could have saved the outside trip by waiting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atownwxwatcher Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 You do know what ASOS is, yes? You do know that my software updates every 5 minutes do you not? Hence why my software shows a temp drop when your Automated Surface observing System has a different temp... For example currently it says Precipitation at 21 degrees.. which means while ABE is still reporting 22 degrees ..it has dropped back to 21 degrees... I am not sure why you even asked that question?
