Today, Lubbock was forecast to have drizzle, freezing rain, and snow. Mid-day, you could see the snow flakes interspersed with the sleet, drizzle and freezing rain. By late afternoon, the moisture continued, and continued to interchange in form, but mostly was unfrozen.
I was even able to scrape some snowy ice off of the walk on the north side of my house, so it was truly above freezing today, and helping the snow and ice to melt. I heard a comment at work today, and it was on target: With this slow melt, the snow is melting into the ground, where the moisture will do some good, versus melting quickly, and creating run off that will either flood or run into areas that do not need the moisture.
Tonight, I saw lightning to the north. Not much, but it did occur. It was again, a winter storm.
