What a wintry day!

What can I say? I was proven wrong. Not too much, though. We managed to get about an inch of snow today. It started to fall just as I was getting ready in the morning around 9:00 AM. It continued in varying in intensity but eventually the roads started getting slushy and sidewalks got snowy. Around 2-3 PM, the snow stopped and it appeared to be over. I was thinking that MU would be thinking the same thing and then end up being caught off guard when the sleet started to fall later on. Thankfully, this didn’t happen. Snow began to fall again around 4:00 PM, on the verge between snow and sleet for a while. We got another half-inch or so of snow before the precip switched over to a light sleet, which is what is happing right now at 7:00 PM / 0z.

Over the next few hours the sleet and freezing drizzle will likely tapper off before freezing rain falls in the morning, which will soon after change to a plain, cold rain for the rest of the day. No fun, with a high in the upper 30s  or so.

I’ll post some pictures later on tonight.
