Not only for this area to have such a prolonged sleet storm/accumulation; and at 22 F.

Now get this, I'm 3 degrees colder than the Poconos in the middle of a winter storm. Very odd.

Jim - idk, but look at the radar. Notice the mix indication pushed into the western/central poc's? Relatively warm air pushed there by the old trough? You are 20 to 25 miles from the Mt Pocono AP aren't you?

My precip is changing to fine thread-like frozen precip.

They are as thin as coarse hair and maybe 1/10 inch long. Some are free and some in bundles like little haystacks.

Is there a technical name for this? Or are they crystals of frozen drizzle?
