snywx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Quick question guys... Was sleet in your forecast to begin with or is this coming as bit of a surprise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 def was expected here.. Dont think many thought the mix would start so fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inudaw Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 A bit of surprise its this early as far as sleet goes. We did not have much expectation for anything really here. And yea NWS said a mixture of snow/sleet and potentially freezing rain for the area... Granted they had snow in the forecast till 10 a.m... then the switch to the mix.. Edit: It's all snow here now anyway... :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Commute could be tricky. A bit of the sleet has melted on some surfaces only to refreeze. My car is a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Owell my part of glenn allen now is in that no precip at all hole...

Martin Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The media is such a joke. You have the meteorologists saying no big deal and moments later they are interviewing reporters in the field with flashing winter storm graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patreeot Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 On my way to work, roads just wet except those in shady spots. Huguenot going over Chippenham was slick. I had sleet and fr. rain when I left my house, freezing rain all the way to Chippenham, then sleet from there with freezing drizzle now. The trees have a slight coating on them, but no big deal.
