SLEET NEAR HUNTSVILLE

This shot of some sleet was sent in from a weather tracker in the Huntsville area. The depth of the cold air in our area has not been sufficient for snow. In fact, aloft at some 5000', temperatures are well above freezing. So, rain, perhaps melting from snow higher up, in essence is falling into a below freezing layer of air and producing some sleet and freezing rain where there is just a very shallow layer of cold air.
