All sleet in NE Middletown DE 

Just went to sleet here in Newark Delaware 12 miles to your north.

Good storm. Wish it could have stayed pure snow, but this finally broke our 10 years of no 6+ inch snowstorm. A record that held for just 1 day. Ill take it!

As of 10:30 am, snowing legitimately heavily (1/4 mile visibility) with a bit larger dendrites and we now have 5.2" otg (1.2" last hour) at 13F (10F dewpoint). Just went for a Jeb Walk and took a few pics - gorgeous out there.  
 
Also, I got my snow to liquid ratio for the snow that fell through about 9:00 am when we had about 3.6" of snow - it was 14:1. I thought it would be at least 15:1, so off on that guess a little bit, probably because the flakes the first few hours were not large dendrites, so even though they were smaller dendrites and very dry, they packed in more than expected. Did this by taking a 6" x 6" x 3.6" cube of snow and melting it and doing the volume ratio.

Heavy snow in Allentown. A little over 5” so far. Looks like we may get to around 10-12” before the sleet gets here. Also a little interesting that the mesos crash the sleet line SE later in the afternoon so it flips back to snow here.

I kind of wonder if the sleet really makes it that far north - bet you mainly mix with IP unless rates are light.
