Back to straight snow here.
-7, dewpoint -8.3
Very interesting.
Looks to be mainly sleeting here , looks like about an inch of new snow on road before the sleet arrived. Don't think it's freezing rain,leaves aren't glistening from ice forming yet.

I spoke too soon. Mix of snow and sleet. Going to be one of those days ...

My office is going to roast me I think. I had warned them a lot about today and now it seems to have busted.
But most people will think it's safe to drive, they have no clue about rain turning to ice on impact.

Not much you can do, sometimes all the models bust.
Hey, I'm glad its this one that busted and not Sunday-Tuesday
On the plus side, given how it transitioned to ice pellets so fast last night, I was expecting it to be 100% freezing rain and not this wintry mix now. The more precip that falls as something other than freezing rain, the better.
we got some snow, hard to say how much but it was very light, I checked a couple of times during the night, didn't see anything coming down but the shoveled path was covered.
now it's ice, ice baby, as Heavy said, you can hear it as it hits; very crunchy, powder snow covered with ice pellets
-5.7, dp -6.9

your getting ice pellets...frozen chunkers..they dont coat everything like freezing rain does, which is liquid that freezes on surfaces on contact, bc all surfaces are well below 0, like -7c for instance
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++
