It is odd that SW Nassau County is seeing a mix of sleet, but in SW Suffolk(my location) is still pure snow. 

 

 

 

SW Nassau is to the south of SW Suffolk in terms of latitude...the Island extends ENE / WSW.  Moreover, the warmth aloft is coming in from the SSW.

Just ripping heavy snow right now with moderate sized flakes - piling up quickly - got 1/4" in the last 10 minutes.  About to go get some salt for the ZR that's coming - just gives me an excuse to get outside, lol...

Snow changed to sleet around 3 pm, just as I was getting back from getting some salt (had to go to Lowe's and get water softening salt as they had no rock salt - same NaCl, though).  Measured 2.75" of new snow and it's sleeting moderately with maybe 20% snow mixed in.  Should at least get to 3" snow/sleet.  Also, just shoveled - still pretty light, but will be much heavier for those who wait until the sleet and freezing rain mix in.  Haven't had time to check the board to see where the ZR line is yet - still just 25F here, so I'm hoping the ZR holds off for a few hours.  

 

Edit: snow mixing back in - about 50/50 snow/sleet now.  C'mon snow...
