Rain tapered mid afternoon. Snow and sleet melted as they fell except where sleet rolled off steeply pitched roofs. Air near ground, which was very dry at onset of rain, was cooled by evaporation enough for some snow/sleet, the first occurrence of frozen types this young cold season at this location, to reach the ground. Although temperature near ground remained cold, air aloft soon warmed to preclude frozen types.
