Glad we’re both seeing the same thing. Hopefully it keeps cooling and we get some snow

You might not be able to trust the radar atm. It shows rain I. ponder when it’s been all snow. We also dropped 5-6 degrees as it came in

It got going for a few minutes, Denton might have had a a bit more based off radar. Still coming down, not as hard. I woke 3yrd up, it was worth it now I have to deal with him, haha.

It may look like it on radar but that is not what is happening on the ground. Dynamics are very strong, it may start as a mix but will quickly change to snow. A loft is quite cold at the moment.

Radar shows rain in Sherman, but it’s definitely a rain/sleet/snow mix!!!
