It really did come in like a wall - would've been cooler to see a wall of snow, but this is still pretty good.  Every surface covered already and we have some flakes mixing in.  

Sleet melts slower than pure snow so it can help build up a base quicker on warmer surfaces. 

[Franklin0529]

Ripping here

[RU848789]

Latest HRRR (if it's right) has me getting 3" snow by 11 pm or about 1" per hour.  Not so sure sleet doesn't mix in earlier, though, looking at the radar map at 10 pm.  My sounding is definitely snow through 9 pm, but 10 pm looks iffy.  Any experts care to comment? I'm hoping it's just wet snow...

That's how it started here in northern Monmouth county. Then within 5 mins turned to snow 

Snowing here now too.  Not heavy snow but at least it's snow.
