I'm up by 78.
Going to shovel now.
Sounds like a couple hours until any sleet arrives so a good base layer of snow should fall after I'm done.

have you flipped yet?
No. I very occasionally hear sleet, but it's still snow. The NWS revised its winter storm warning for most of New Jersey, including my area, just before 11a.m.They say 4-6 inches have already fallen. They forecast 2-8 inches (notice the precision!) of additional snow and sleet. Their forecast is for a changeover to sleet and freezing rain in the afternoon into the evening. They also say there will be about .2" of ice. The storm is supposed to end by 1 tomorrow.

Fascinatingly enough, the local forecast for my Cherry Hill zip code is still for "sleet, possibly mixed with snow before 5 p.m." In other words, it hasn't been updated.

the yellow orange line is where the sleet mix line is
The "z" at the bottom is Greenwich mean time, correct? (what used to be called Zulu time -- hence the Z). So I should subtract five hours from the time shown?

I notice that there is red below the clusters of yellow. Does this mean that we will have a changeover back to snow?
