If AKQ is monitoring observations, I'm 29 with sleet currently. However, total qpf in "the hole" should be less than .05".

Thanks weathervswife and everyone posting obs! I'm working the MID shift here at AKQ and will periodically monitor reports for the PNS/LSR.

Down to 28 now with sleet beating in the windows. Very loud.

Edit: went outside and mainly zr now. When the heavy stuff comes through we switch to ip. Maybe .10" on most surfaces.

Edit: my asphalt driveway is a sheet of ice, but nothing on the roads in front of my house, but they put that slime down on the roads abusing my neighborhood dues.

Is that ice accretion or sleet accumulation? Thanks in advance...

I agree. I was up in the West End (Dumbarton/ Staples Mill) and noticed the trees didn't look wet. Trees starting to block right hand south bound lane on Powhite. I haven't measured the ice, but my Loropetalum on the front of my house are acting like they got 4 inches of snow on them. IOW, they are hanging down to about 4 feet when they are usually about 7 feet. Roads are fine and the bridges are fine, but the shady spots on the side roads did seem slightly slick.
