Gimme a break. All forecasters have their biases. If you can't see that JB always looks for the cold in the pattern and goes for the big storm, then I don't know what to tell you.
Our snow came at the end from what I remember as the storm pulled away and colder air worked in. Most of it was a driving rainstorm with temps in the mid to upper 30's with ferocious winds.
There was some minor sleet here, but it was only for 15 minutes-I think we were on the western edge of where it sleeted, which makes sense since the best lift was over me and to my east.
