Winter Weather » Precipitation Type Observations: 0000 UTC Day 2 (Hour 24)

The observed sounding is consistent with the model forecast sounding and shows saturated conditions in the lower and middle troposphere, with a 60 hPa deep warm, above-freezing layer near 800 hPa. As the warm air arrived aloft, the snow began mixing with ice pellets about 6 hours ago. Light ice pellets are being observed at the surface. There is a 4-inch (10 cm) accumulation of snow and sleet on grassy areas, and the roadways are covered with patches of ice and slush.
