ORH_wxman Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 5.2” looks like it will do it with that final band of pure fake champagne. The first 4” or so was prob 10 to 1 at most while the final inch or so was like jspin fluff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 As Tip mentioned, the sleet might have been just enough for some of us to miss the 6" warning threshold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I assume you and others realize that missing 6” due to sleet is deceptive since water content is same and sleet is more durable and problematic on roads than snow. Shouldn’t warning threshold in theory be lower if % that’s sleet is higher? Example: 3” snow and 2” of sleet (5” total) is a bigger deal on roads than 6” or even 7” of pure snow. Opinions?
