Jebman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Most will switch over by 4-5pm, as it looks right now? Things just starting to come together. 34.2 and rain/sleet (had to throw in an ob per the rules) Agreed on the switchover time for most - about 430pm. 33 degrees and much more sleet mixing in with the rain.

marked8 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We had the same in Manassas. I was coming back from Sears when all of the sudden we started to get hail stones, not sleet. After a few minutes it transitioned to sleet, but the hail looked like it did during a storm last May that damaged my wife's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Very light rain and a temp of 33. It will be interesting if I get as much sleet as those to the SW. Maybe I can get an earlier switch to snow? If I do, Phineas and mitchnick are going start talking about their jackpot.....which may very well be the case.
