Do I count sleet in my totals for the winter?  I prefer not to.  What do you guys think?

Sleet is counted towards your seasonal total -- so yes.

I'm certainly going to count it!!!
4-5 inches of sleet plus 3 maybe 4 inches of snow adds
up to a hell of a lot more than we've seen all winter!!!

Navasink River Road in Monmouth County - bad icing.  Lots of trees down.  Rt 35 closed in Hazlet, Rt 36 closed in Sea Bright.  This area got hit hard with the ice.
