Anywho, all the footprints when I was going to the wood pile are gone. So going with 2” of whatever. It’s sleet or graupel. Leaning towards graupel since it doesn’t crunch when I walk through it. Everything from here on out is pure gravy.
Graupel & sleet for me all day in Rowlett. Negligible freezing rain. Good rains yesterday. Some snow earlier but not enough to stick.

Definitely seeing the predicted dry slot in the radar for Wichita Falls. Not sure if it shuts off the moisture for us completely or just temporarily.

Here in East Austin I have 25º with I guess a "wintry mix." I see accumulated sleet on my driveway, hear it falling, and suspect some freezing rain coating items as well.

Looking at the radar returns in Brownwood heading toward DFW and the radar out of Midland, I am now seeing why the potential for 4” of sleet was in the conversation yesterday. The amount of moisture at 19 degrees and potential accumulation is really hard to fathom.

What’s crazy is I’ve lived out here in SW Parker county for a tad over 4 years now and this is the most winter precipitation I’ve had and it’s been all sleet.

No big storms off the coast of Houston sucking up moisture, too.

Update: Full on sleet. That didn’t take long at all…

Well, every time the dry slot comes to me, it gets filled in, there's a lot of snow that keeps backbuilding in Lawton then coming to me

Same here in Round Rock. Heavy sleet falling now and 22°. About 1/4” accumulation and everything outside is iced over! Lots more to come too per radar. Heck, maybe we’ll even get some thundersleet later. Wooo!!

It seems like what ends up at my place goes through Keller. So probably 17F and couple inch of sleet.
