round 2 here.....dont know how the hell it can sleet when its 13 degrees.

If I understand correctly, water can be "super saturated" in temperature, either to the hot or the cold. When the equilibrium is disturbed it flashes over. So liquid goes instantly to solid. As the water hits the car it turns to ice.

The size of this storm is impressive, but I've seen more sleet than anything. I think Mother Nature is saving the snow for our friends in the Northeast.

The forecast sounds like a song arrangement.

First verse; sleet
Second verse; freezing rain
Chorus; both sleet and freezing rain
Then, we'll just stir them together in diffetrnt keys for the bridge and remaining verses.
