My wife got 2 pair after tearing a tendon in her foot the very FIRST TIME she went on snow/ice here after moving from California. I had her hand as we slowly crossed and said 'Now be careful, this stuff is" and she was down. Anyway, a pair stay in the house and one in the vehicle we take out now in the winter.

Same here. I have a second-floor deck over a lower-level patio. 97.8852% of the time that patio has enough snow on it to brush off with a broom after a storm. Not this time! There is more on the patio than on the deck above.
-
Same way it was doing it here at 11 degrees this morning?
-
And the sleet is back, pretty good timing watching the radar for a restart time.
-
I had 1.05 at 7 am this morning. I'm likely around 1.5-1.75 now.
-
I am back to a snizzle here. Looking at radar, I may get a 30-45 minute pause before getting into the next round. Temp has popped up to warmest in last 24 hours at 16.1/13.0 at 3:15 pm. NWS lowered my forecasted 27 high at 7 am to 22 at noon and I likely won't make that either.
-
How close is that to Norrisville?
-
Still sleet with some snow grains/dust here, intensity varies. Temp 14.1/10.2.
-
So measured right at noon, 1.5 inches of new sleet. We had a small 20 minute break where we went back to a snizzle, but the sleet with some snow grains mixed in has returned. Currently 13.3/9.9 at noon. The snow still being compacted by the sleet, 5.0 currently OTG and untouched snowboard.

We had that back in 2007 VD storm. Closed US 220 for about 3-4 hours until VDOT could get front end loaders there to clear. Was about 3 -4 feet deep!
-
And looks like I'm headed for that dry slot in about 45 minutes or so. If it hits I'll measure. Currently 12.0/9.0 with sleet still falling.
-
Yep. I had 3" at 1 am of all snow. At 5 when I got up it had changed and 4.5". But the 'snow' under the sleet was 2" at most.
-
IP/sleet. Maybe a rimed one in there.
-
Well, in a way yes, but if these rates go thru your area I've had for last two hours, it is interesting.
