Picture of the wind blown snow.
Most places across the 6 county area saw between 2 and 3 inches of snow, Which was less then forecasted, The reason this turned out is because the low was far enough west that most of if fell as rain.
The Day started out mild right around 32 and 33, Then some light freezing rain showers moved though which produced a glazing of ice, Then Convective showers started to form, the first shower came as actually pretty moderate rain here, then the next shower came as sleet pellets mixed with rain, We got a total of 0.8 of rain in the showers. Then a line a snow moved in from the west with an Arctic cold front We had heavy snow and blowing snow with Winds gusting to 30 to near 40MPH I had a gust of 32MPH on my wind gauge, other places had higher speeds. We had a total of 1.50 Inches of snow.
here is a photo of where the sleet pellets built up from the convective showers.
One thing is for sure it is Cold outside today, highs today only going to get in the upper single digits maybe teens if lucky, tonight temps will fall below zero, some places as cold as -10.F
Derek, thanks for the recap! I wish I would’ve had my anemometer mounted and relaying data for this past storm. The wind was loud last night and is still whipping today as I type.
