January 1, 2020

Jan 1(Sat)

Cloudy start, SE wind. Light rain beginning 9am-10am with temps below freezing many areas. Lots of 20s. Around early afternoon, pockets of moderate sleet occured, which helped limit ice accretion in areas a bit. And also helped with traction both walking and driving.

Bittinger 2nw Valley

Sleet measurement of .3, there was a bit of freezing rain during the couple hour sleet period but primarily sleet. Best sleet measurement I could do is .3″. When measuring it wanted to mound up a little, so it took many tries to get as close as I could. Also a ice layer under was NOT included as ice is not snowfall- but sleet gets added to the snowfall tally.
