It started about 2 hours ago with moslty sleet, then it became a mix of sleet and rain, and now it is mostly rain with just a few pellets of sleet thrown in. I expect that by midnight most areas will be seeing mostly rain. I have noticed that with this latest round of rain/sleet that only a few pellets were visible on my lawn furniture before melting; with the first burst (around 8:30) there were over 30 pellets on one chair when it was done! Well...all good things do come to an end and it was a nice surprise to see tonight. Now lets hold out hope for a more significant event next Tuesday; a little snow would have made tonight even better. We'll see... As for now though, I am happy with what I got.

Yeah, it's doing the same here. This latest patch is definitely mostly rain but I can still hear a few pings thrown in.
I am glad you are happy. I know what it's like. Some years when I lived in Dallas if we had just a tiny bit of freezing drizzle - something - anything - I was happy (some years we were lucky to even get that). Of course I always wanted a blizzard to come charging in, but I would settle for a tiny coat of ice if that's all we could get.
I guess I'm the only one on here that's been hoping against a snowstorm next week. Actually, some snow would be just fine with me (I love it as much as you do, I promise), I just don't want a hard freeze to follow. Seriously, it would be a disaster for my yard. I'm talking a few grand. I'd rather take a road trip to Centerville and see it than have to replace half my plants. It's not worth *that* much to me. Heck, for that kind of money, I could take a ski trip to Colorado.
But I have to admit, tonight's little show was a nice treat. Especially since it was harmless.
