Disc Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 We are snow when it's heavy and mix when it's not. THose bands mean business to your south. They look sexy. I've actually switched to a sleet/rain mix. Maybe only an inch on grassy areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think the NWS RNK ends the season like the forecasted-- BAD. They jumped warnings UP to LYH (Counties just west) and 2-4 other areas. Don't think that happens. We may see a sloppy inch, but it comes in waves-- heavy then back to sleet. Snowing now, but just had rain 5 minutes ago.
