I’d rather have zr than sleet personally. Way cooler

In some cases, like if tempts are low to mid 20s zrain can be good but having heavy zrain with marginal temps will amount to nothing and actually warm up ground temps, whereas heavy sleet will still accumulate and will turn into a glacier after a hard freeze.

Seeing the rates offset the cold nose - can even see it on radar! 60% sleet and 40% snowballs currently - but snow is increasing!

 

we are at 27 in Leesburg, we are not going above freezing are we?

You are not even half way done brother. Really nice band just south of Winchester coming in soon. Then heading your way.

Thanks for the heads up! I hope so.  It’s the most snow I’ve seen in 4 years, like many in the forum and I don’t want it to end. 
 

digging out will be rough. I’ve got a mile long steep driveway through GW Natl forest I’ll have to clear before I can get out.  But that just means I get to enjoy it longer.

Makes me feel good to know I am measuring accurately. Right in line with everyone else around me. 

Wind is starting to gust a little bit out here. And we are getting mauled again.
