May be hallucinating, but appears to be some very wet flakes mixing in.

No need to do that ... :)

...go to you car.  Enter said vehicle.  Observe particle impact behavior upon windows/windshield... If the 'blatting' pattern ends up in 'star' structures - your transition level is probably not that high up and you are close...  Rain drops in that phase of early transition will catch your attention as they zip by ...sort of 'glowing' a little bit but ... they may also not be falling quite at the same terminal velocity of straight liquid particulates...

1.25" accumulation here in Ayer, Ma

33 F ...

Underscoring the point...  This is in a valley?  It is - ...it is interesting that in this area, we are not really depending upon elevation.  Everyone/where else seems to be seeing that but I am not. 
 

I drove up to Groton center and across the NE side of town, just over the Littleton line and back into Ayer and home and this whole region was committed to snow as of 1.5 hours ago

Looks like melting later is pivoting NW and encroaching towards 495/north shore so a change over back to rain/mix could be possible soon for cntrl-nrn Middlesex county.

Could you post a screen shot of that or is there a rain snow line on dual pol some can post a photo of

We went back and forth all morning. Had sleet for an hour .Finally pounding for good now. Have a lot of ground to make up

You might do well pretty quick.. .

That's what happened here - we silver-slush to whitened everything exposed at the same time.  Interesting... wasn't differentiating at all between tree, road, car... grass. It all seemed willing to glow and then just be white.

33 F here over an inch... The sound of civility is muting ...atoning to the damping nature of snow filled air.  The white noise of humanity is snuffed(ing) rending the only thing audible are those damn beeps of DPW vehicles in reverse...

That's how we know we've really crossed the threshold into an actual snow storm as opposed to whatever that was this morning - that "muting" effect.  Its getting quiet out there...

Trees starting to sway a bit.
