Just a minor gripe bout this event. Although moisture amounts was sort of iffy, the one thing we were assured was that temps would be solidly below freezing for most of this event. Clearly that didn't happen. From a weather enthusiast stand point I can admit I'm slightly disappointed. I had higher hopes but none the less from a safety stand point I'm glad it's not worse.

I am receiving waves of light-moderate sleet here in Baytown with light snow flurries mixed in, too, from time to time.

Dixie Farm Rd. at I45 S- 32 degrees, dewpoint @ 30. Freezing rain started about a hour ago, now mixing with small sleet pellets and a small flake or two every 10 seconds or so.

Ice thickness on metal and plastic in backyard not too far away from equaling the amount I saw Friday. As I finish typing I can hear the sleet really starting to come down now...

Now we wait and see if the roads and bridges are frozen after the freeze tonight.

Light Rain, Sleet, and micro-flurries mixing in Dickinson. Heavier echos coming over top shortly, hoping for some sleet to dust us a little.

I dont see any moisture left on the roads tonight. Anti-ice chemical has worked its magic today thus far

*Sigh* Another snow day with zero ice\icicles\snow on the ground here in Spring. If we have to make up a day in April or May I sure wish we could have had *something* to look at\play in. So...is there another one of these Snowpocalypses in our Feb forecast?

Are the surface roads freezing? Or will they freeze today before 5/6 PM?

I have been watching that myself. I do have my doubt about it getting here though. The drier air may be here before the precip makes it.

Light snow reported at IAH. Maybe an official trace of snow for the date?
