Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of sleet either, but this is literally the best way to get it. Getting 6"+ of snow underneath it, and to get it heading into a week where the pack will be an absolute glacier with lows in the single digits and low teens for days on end is a particular kind of deep winter many of us have never seen! Despite a very small tinge of jealousy of those up north that got 20"+ inches we could've gotten, the I am thoroughly enjoying this rather unique event and all it's glacial awesomeness
