Well, my “one question remains” comment from yesterday certainly got answered resoundingly. Plenty of snow had time to fall before sleet entered the picture. Looks like 6″-8″ inches in my yard while we’re in a temporary pause. Sure missed that part of the forecast, but the storm’s not over yet.

As snow returns later it’ll be mixed with sleet with sleet becoming dominant by late afternoon. Then sleet turns over to freezing rain tonight. The sleet and rain will compact the snow so that by morning snow depth will be less than it is now. Biggest concern now is for freezing drizzle after Midnight which may have the capacity to create some icing on limbs/wires toward morning. I still think it’ll not be enough to create significant problems.

Tomorrow, periods of light snow/flurries will return, but accumulation will be light – up to an inch.
