Some accumulation is possible. Squalls - Brief, intense show showers accompanied by strong, gusty winds. Accumulation may be significant. Snow squalls are best known in the Great Lakes region. Blizzard - Winds over 35 mph with snow and blowing snow reducing visibilities to near zero.
Sleet Is rain drops that freeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
Sleet usually bounces when hitting a surface and does not stick to objects. However, it can accumulate like snow and cause a hazard to motorists. Freezing Rain Is rain that falls onto a surface with a temperature below freezing. This causes it to freeze to surfaces, such as trees, cars, and roads, forming a coating or glaze of ice. Even small accumulations of ice can cause a significant hazard.
