metalicwx366 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 ..sleet is the initial precip before the main event of cold rain starts.Yeah on 2/12/10 here we started as sleet for about 30 minutes then changed over to rain for 10 hours then to snow for 4 hours but 2/12 is nothing like whatever this is. Just saying this about the sleet and cold rain thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Lol. No, burns. Never once in my life have I ever considered 2 minutes of rain followed by 12 hours of snow a jxdama. It is most certainly a snowstorm. I've never wavered. Don't you know what jxdama means for goodness sakes? Yes I do know who/what jxdama is. I was congratulating you about admitting you were wrong in thinking I knew better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yes I do know who/what jxdama is. I was congratulating you about admitting you were wrong in thinking I knew better. Lolz. My bad. You're right. I was, indeed, very wrong in thinking you knew better. I hope you accept my apologies for this horrible misunderstanding. I'll do my best to avoid this kind of mistake in the future, but there are no guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
