They shouldn't. Usually sleet is considered part of snow totals, not ice, but not sure. There was ice happening on the 15th in the hills. I don't have a good radar from it but I do have this saved.
You can see the freezing rain reports from NC here Nov 15th. The "?" is mixed or sleet reports so maybe there was sleet. It's only 1" or less on the map so nothing crazy anyway
Few hrs later actual Ice accumulation reports from hills of Virginia.
Well, apparently off and on snow and temps falling from the upper 30s to the upper 20s during the day caused a lot of icy bridges yesterday evening. Area police departments reported over 180 accidents last night with the majority of them during the evening rush hour on bridges. There was an 8-car pile up on one bridge. 2 cars in 2 separate accidents hit an icy patch on a bridge and both ended up in the water. I didn't experience any ice on my drive home but some interstates, especially at interchanges, were just crawling. I guess the city wasn't prepared. Indy said they only had 4 salt trucks out with the rest not planning to go out until 11pm. Whoops.
Nearly 9 inches of precipitation this month, just ridiculous.
