All those getting precipitation be sure to MPING it, so we (and NWS mets) can see. http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/projects/ping/display/

Just got back in, it's finally starting to rain here. Temp says 31 degrees, but I'm not sure if I can trust it. It looked like there were a few sleet pellets mixed in, but nothing to really get excited about.

At least there is something falling out of the sky. It's been so long.

Currently a Mix of light rain and sleet with temp at 32.5 F on the west side of Fort Worth

HEAVY snow now... took about 15 minutes for full changeover

Looks like the precip is winding down. Hopefully we see a flurry on the back end.

If you could, post some pics!

That heavy band sits out west it seems like all day, then when it gets close to you it seems as if it picks up speed and wants to quickly move east!

This is too good, lol. Should be a framed quote for all events.

What do you mean? if you look at the 1 hour total the storm has been cycling, as one band starts to weaken, another one forms and starts to strengthen. I have already seen it do this twice and it is happening right now as we speak. I only hope I get hit with a band at it's most intense moment.

Happens just about every time, never fails! haha

12Z Euro doesn't indicate much for Texas later this week.

@NWSFortWorth: Latest aircraft data indicates warm layer aloft is cooling and becoming more favorable for sleet production in the Metroplex. #txwx #dfwwx

Just more miserable cold for wxman57? -WSI

Light sleet coming down now in the Roanoke area.

I'm seriously not getting my hopes up. GFS and Euro both not looking like it.

After dropping to 32.1 it has risen to 33.4 in Heath, which is fine so we don't get freezing drizzle/rain. 0.12 thus far and I'm not expecting much more than that.
