Has anyone seen an explanation for the freezing mist/drizzle that we are still getting here in N Vermont? It doesn't seem to be creating a crust layer but it glazes any solid surface it touches.
I haven't seen any atmospheric temp profiles to see were a warm layer may be. It is very strange. Even if there is a warm layer, where is that warm air even coming from? The Atlantic?

Same thing at Stowe yesterday. It looked like snow until it hit your goggles then it would melt then freeze immediately. At around 10:30 changed to snow and then back to that crap around 2. It didn't do this on clothing just the goggles. The drive home around 4 was the same way on the windshield on and off.

Drove from Lyndonville to Barre around noon. Snowing in L'Ville turned to sleet around Cabot/Marshfield. Left Barre around 3:30 headed to Burlington and the sleet had turned to freezing mist/rain. And it was 14 degrees. Freezing rain all the way to B'ton. The temp even dropped on the west side of the Green Mtns to 9 degrees! Roads got pretty slick. Still freezing rain when I left there at 6:45. The freezing rain turned back to snow just east of Waterbury. I think I went through an entire gallon of de-icing windshield wash. I had to give the windshield a spritz every 30-40 seconds to make sure I could see. Some people must have run out because there were several cars on the side of I-89 scraping their windshields.
Hopefully it stayed sleet and snow in the mtns. The sleet may have kept totals down a bit.
