Ligh frozen drizzle in Port Lavaca. Everything has a nice "donut glaze" on it.
The Weather Channel app on my iphone says "wintery mix" is falling here now.

Can you tell us your location?

Light drizzle falling in Galleria area. Hopefully this will help cool things down and prepare the air column for some snow later on.

Really starting to look like US 59 from Wharton to downtown and 20 miles either side is going to be one location that is going to get some higher totals. Constant banding in this region

Steady light freezing drizzle/flurries here at the house. Not enough to take pics of yet though. 29f now so the temp is dropping.

If you look at the radar on KHOU it shows a lot on the moisture, it is South West of 290 going North East towards Tomball, could that be good banding, could it be anything?

Jeff, which radar would you suggest we use to best see the banding?
