someone earlier in this thread asked about cameras at the big traffic circle in Alexandria

turns out... there are DOTD cams there and you can view them at 511la.org

ETA: there's actually 3 of them along that traffic circle

So where has it gone up?

All three of those have actually done down.

Every county in Texas is under a Winter Storm Warning. Meteorologist is saying he thinks it’s the first time it’s happened.

The snow line keeps nudging ever so slightly SE with each gfs run.

I’m in Iowa and it’s showing 2” of snow now with .25 of ice. Who knows how much sleet.

There’s a shallow layer of warm air above the surface and when snow falls through it it partially melts and then refreezes as sleet when it reenters cold air.

several hundred or even thousand feet above your head it's actually warmer and above freezing

snow melts in that layer... then refreezes when it gets into the freezing layer on the ground where you are

This just seems insane to me. But thank you to you and Berrycajun for the explanation.
