I am starting to get reports of sleet across the area. We had some HEAVY sleet move through downtown Cape Girardeau. It sounded like a hail storm on top of the studio.
Looking at our lightning data shows that we had some lightning and thunder overhead. That was somewhat expected and not surprising. You have heard of thundersnow? The same thing can happen with sleet. When you get some thunder and lightning it means the cell overhead has become convective and can produce a much higher rate of precipitation.

Thank you for all the great updates and hard work John! Here in Cobden it's sleeting pretty hard and is slick out.
John,
Just want to say how grateful I am that the storm coverage is so detailed, extensive, and in so many forms and forums. Gone are the days of window-watching, hand-wringing, and pacing while I wait anxiously for the next TV forecast report. Great job and it is so very much appreciated!!
John hope you liked the pix i sent will send more later as the snow/ice/sleet or what ever gets deeper...may venture out and get some other photos of the area
I am keeping my eye on the weather in southern Illinois where my son and daughter live; I'm in Florida, and of course, I am worrying about the winter storms and their safety. Thanks for keeping a worried mom informed..
