No problem sir!

Here's a look at current temps across the area...

MD out for us concerning freezing rain rates of 0.05-0.10”/hr

I just had a moment, I suddenly realized that with both cars in my garage my snow blower was blocked in, so I hurried up and changed things around. My driveway was still mostly wet, still raining, but ice starting on metal light pole for example.

Per Local12 74 out past Greensburg is shut down WB due to two jack knifed tractor trailers.

First report of the day! Thanks! Keep them coming everyone (when you wake up, that is )!

Radar as of 5:00am for that area...

Here in N. Butler Co, I am 28 and moderate freezing rain that is accumulating on the trees, cars and driveway. Wind is howling. Big change last night when wind flipped

Quite a storm! Plenty of precip to come down the pipeline.

Thanks for the report, Bud!

Starting to glaze up on the back deck and cars here in Deer Park.

Switched from freezing rain to sleet in the last 15 minutes.

Moderate freezing rain here and 30 - everything has a glaze.

It is a skating rink up in Columbus

Snow mixing in at times

Starting to hear some sleet mixing in.

31 and ice on everything except driveway so far

How to measure and report sleet/ice to the NWS. Just thought it was interesting.

DAY reporting sleet and snow with 28 degrees.

@Les where are ya!? Do I need to send you a wake-up call?

Sleet here at the woodpile. Elec was out about 20 mins. Back on now.

Alright alright alright, rise and shine. No doubt an upgrade to my map is needed. Raising upper amounts an inch for most zones locally. Keeping lower amounts the same due to the possibilty of sleet lasting longer . Especially difficult along and south of 71 guessing when change over to all snow occurs. A delay of just 1 hr could be .30" of qpf . Some guidance going much higher south of 71 but just not buying those amounts, plus , i would rather be pleasantly surprised than mildly disappointed. I know, I know "that's what she said"

Good morning, I'm up! 32 degrees and frz rain here. Dew of 30. Looks like a fun day upcoming!

Freezing rain in Oxford 28. 3°. Trying to change over to sleet right now. The entire city of Oxford just lost power for about a half an hour. Back on now. Been out salting since about 3:00, .1+ ice on anything elevated

Sometime overnight freezing rain occurred. Everything has a nice base coat of glaze with some small icicles. My first look outside at 6am and it had already transitioned to sleet. Accumulating sleet at the moment. Outdoor temp says 29.
