Im not so sure im sold with the mixing of sleet and freezing rain in our area. Maybe if the rates really lightened up but at the hight of the storm? No way we are going from whiteout conditions to a sleet fest then back to snow...
Yeah the 6z goes from snow to freezing rain sleet mix at the heart of things. Then wraps back around to finish as snow on the backside of things but snow totals would be drastically cut down.
