bainbridgekid Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Finally turned to rain here in Evanston after 12 solid hours of sleet.

I was out shoveling and had to dig out / push a guy who got his car completely stuck when he drove outside the tire tracks in the street.

bud2380 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I would estimate 3-4" of slop here today. It started as snow early this morning then changed to sleet and sleeted moderately to heavy almost all day. We may have had a brief period of freezing rain, just enough to glaze things. Then back to sleet, finally got snow around 1:30 then switched back to sleet and finally snow again by 5pm. Almost impossible for me to say how much accumulated as snow vs. sleet.

Western suburbs now reporting snow.I've experienced it a handful of times, but it was always just for an hour or two before turning to rain. Never seen it accumulate like this.
