Looks like conditions in Temple are deteriorating quickly. Media reports I-35 icing over and numerous accidents. Sleet steadily falling there.

And ice on the US Hwy 183/Toll Road 45 flyover here in town has caused a bad wreck. Yeah, this is just the beginning. :roll:

We want you to take Champ The Charger out and chase the snow. The PWC fans want to see it. You know it is the mascot of the PWC!!

Coating of white on patio furniture, roofs, and flower beds from steadily falling sleet. 29 degrees at 6:30pm. Kids are out playing in our neighborhood. Going to be an interesting night! I would love for 1985 to happen again! :D

OK, I left work? The Sleet was coming so hard it hurt! in Round Rock! Also, I almost fell on my rear from accumulating ice in the parking lot!!! And then again, at the Exxon in RR? Same experience! I called the NWS and let them know!!!! Sleet & ice accumulated nicely on RR-620 out of Round Rock on grass and in the medians. There are wrecks on TOLL ROAD I-45 IN NW AUSTIN due to guess what????? ICE!!!!! The toll is CLOSED. Who is surprised? Be safe folks!!! (thanks Porta! 45 is my way to work!)

My friend ... that will happen providing the snow happens. I plan on a chase locally and, hopefully, taking a vid which I can upload on YouTube.

The Champ The Charger cars are selling like hotcakes. We cannot keep them in stock. We have lifesize action figures of the men and women of the PWC too. Also, Champ the Charger has Grey Goose stickers all over!!

Radar shows us on the western edge of the precip with not much appearing to move in from the west, is there still more to come?

It looks like there are some light returns appearing in central Wise county and southern Tarrant county.

I had to go to the Dyess Air Force base radar in order to see it.

Yes indeed! Moderate sleet falling right now at the PWC.

Austin PD shutting down roads/bridges in northern part of town already due to accidents and unsafe conditions.

I'm kinda concerned that I haven't seen any sleet here in College Station. I keep going outside to check but still just a cold rain.
Radar shows a mix here, but I'm not seeing it. When do yall think I will start to see some frozen precip here?
