Had some sleet showers on Friday morning and wouldn't be surprised to see more tomorrow, looking at the weather forecast.

About 4" (10cm for young folk  :) ) overnight but it's been gently thawing all day, so about 2" now.  Just starting to freeze, but that rain is forecast for here tomorrow too, after a very cold night.  Fun on the roads in the morning - rain on ice. Take care.
