[sensoria]

Had some big flakes at the start of this little band, but quickly turned to a light rain / sleet mix.

(or stay home and enjoy your snow day ......IF it will stick around for longer than 15 minutes.

Where is that warm mongerer.

On a serious note seems like the pattern of upper lows and troughs are going to continue to roll through here for the next 7-10 days. So more chances for rain. Long range GFS does look a little cold after the 22nd or so. The show is over here in Del Rio. Official temp at 30 but I have 33 with light rain.

Same here. In the last 5 minutes, we've had a mix of light rain, light sleet, and even some snowflakes. Seems to be turning into more of a light rain.

Marble Falls all the way to San Angelo looks like they are in the thick of things. Must be a lot of white neighborhoods that way

More moderate sleet in Wells Branch now. Heavier than the first go round.

The bad news ... I do not have any still photos.

The good news? I uploaded a video on YouTube with a "special message" for wxman57!

Enjoy it while it lasts, Portastorm. By the way, that doesn't look like sleet, it looks like graupel, which is basically partially melted snowflakes.

I think you may be correct. That precip fell during the first band ... the second band was more of a mixture of zr/sn and light rain.

Thanks for being a good sport! You know we love ya! Besides, we both know this may be "it" for us winter weather fans until late this year.

[Longhornmaniac8]

Heavy sleet mixed with a very few snow flurries here, now.

I think what we are getting here in north Austin is graupel, getting a light shower now mixed with rain.

Northwest Austin/south Cedar Park - Started as sleet, but changed to ALL SNOW around 1:30pm! So happy I saw SNOW this year!!

[weatherdude1108]

Snow stuck to the low spots in the yard and house roofs.

[ndale]

Radar showing precip about to end here and Austin wfo says for later today, ALL
PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE OVER TO RAIN TONIGHT WITH RAIN LIKELY
THROUGH 12Z.

[natlib]

Almost an inch of snow on the ground here is San Angelo.....alternating between snow and sleet......NO WINTER CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!!

No! Dallas will get pounded, too! It could happen.

[Kelarie]

This is all headed our way....tonight should be fun...

[hriverajr]

My dewpoint here at home has already gone above freezing... warm advection well underway and heading north. I have my doubt about DFW getting much. Hopefully I am wrong

Link to my cheap weather station since my Davis bit the dust. Readings are fairly accurate except for wind speeds since it is in a somewhat sheltered location. It also does not have the best radiation shield for sunny days.

You can actually see the onset of precip early this morning with temp and dewpoint.
