I was hoping for more rain just to clean everything up plus we need the rain. Was just outside. Can hardly see anything on the ground but you certainly hear the crunch of sleet underfoot.
Already 34 in Philadelphia but no melting near me.

The good news is it will stay above freezing all day and overnight too

I'm hoping stuff melts by this afternoon as I'm off work and would like to get out for a bike ride. I saw it will stay above freezing overnight!
I got to ride the bike into work Tuesday and caught just a gorgeous sunrise by the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sounds like I might get a repeat tomorrow!

🙄 depends on where you live. The schools in the southern half of the state are on a delayed opening or remote learning schedule.

Deep enough to cover my fingernail. Not deep enough to reach my first knuckle. And gone off of the street. No ice to speak of.

Sleet with freezing rain. Models were onto less snow last night and the NAMs did better than those global and gfs. All the models cut back on qpf

Is it really a bust when they were generally forecasting about an inch or less..even in the nws text product


Seen these sleet events in my times

That said it's still will be slick and tough going for a couple hours for cj and more to the north so use caution

It was a bust for those wishcasting the “storm”.

A real mix in Bergen. Roads not that bad with pretreatments but sidewalks icing up and very slippery. Right around freezing so it will probably stay that way for a while.

Am going to wait an hour or two before shoveling my sidewalk to allow the warmer temps and rain to soften things up a bit to make it easier to shovel (doubt that much melts by then) - right now it's very slippery and bound pretty tightly to my driveway/sidewalk. Will let the driveway just melt today/tonight, but the public sidewalk needs to be cleared up soon.

A dusting that is all gone because of the rain.
