February 14, 2007 I have listed as a mix of light snow, sleet and freezing rain (maybe 1.5" total sleet snow accumulation)?  My notes show that a low was forecast to move into the Great Lakes, but rather slid across southen PA.  A secondary formed off the Carolinas and moved north.  Heavy snow warnings posted, but warmer air worked its way into mid levels, resulting in a mixed bag.  Is this correct?  I think the 5.5" sleet storm occurred March 17, 2007?

March was the bigger sleet event. All sleet pretty much the entire duration. VD started a bit of snow and might have had some freezing rain but was a decent amount of sleet too. I measured 3.4 in Feb and 5.9 in March 

I think it was the 850 low track that screwed us as the coastal track was fine and temps were very cold

Even with yesterday, we're still well below normal in snowfall. So I don't know why any snow lover would want saturday to bust. 

Because my job is hard enough without snow falling, and im working friday night.  Snow totals when i cant play in the snow dont count.

I have a question about last Saturday's snow.  It was very light and fluffy, but it also seemed to have very high water content, melting immediately if I even lightly touched it.  Not sure I could have even gathered it into a snowball before melting.  I thought those qualities - the lightness/fluffiness and the high water content - were incompatible, that wet snow was always heavy snow, but clearly that isn't the case.  Is this type of snow rare, or was my impression incorrect?
