Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

Even though it's the GFS, kind of crazy to see it put a lollipop over my area. Trying to put down nearly 6 inches. Ofc, I don't think it's right.

Looks like it’s picking up that band we’re waiting on.
 
Lol, NWS HUN just put us under a Winter Storm Warning. Seems to be drying and warming here pretty well. Sure, maybe for the three mountains in the county.
 
Anybody got the C Coefficient on radar to see where it’s all snow to sleet and if it’s changing back over
 
31.3 and snow coming down at a good clip. Dusting on grass but nothing on roads yet. I’d imagine roads are going to start getting messy soon.
 
Watch em ski in a Blizzard, cant even standup after putting on snowboard.


Currently 23, windchill in single digits here at house. We have accumulated over a inch of just sleet since it flipped from snow.
Pouring sleet continues

Doesn’t freezing drizzle accumulate faster?
It will accumulate more efficiently than a heavy rain, but it will still take much longer to build up an accrual. Right now my trees have almost a .1” of accrual, and that’s been from about 20 minutes of legitimate ZR earlier, but mostly from the mist that has been mixed with the sleet… it would take a while for freezing drizzle to build up to higher than a .25”
