What is this weird weather forecast?

What is the forecast for February 4th? Triangles are going to fall from the sky?



Does anyone know what this means? Here's the web page (subject to change); I didn't find a legend.

Does that mean ice?

No... I'm just an idiot. I should have known that.

I took it out because I realized the the way the chart was set up.

I didn't look at the Y axis. That's most likely the reason I failed math in high school.

I bet its snow right around the freezing temp, so maybe it means a rain snow mix

I think it means freezing rain. I looked around the website and can't seem to find anything explaining what the pictures mean.

Whatever it is you better be careful. Wear eye protection. Triangles have sharp corners and might hurt you!

Really I am thinking freezing rain?

I does look like a painful forecast! Seems ice like snow, sleet, or hail are usually portrayed as round objects... maybe it is freezing rain; it freezes jagged upon impact!

note to lookingglass, I answered your post and then couldn't find it, so I deleted mine and added the p.s. to my original post. We kept quoting each other's deleted posts!

Oh I just looked at it again...yep, its rain that starts out as 'rain' and then turns into ice before it hits the ground...yeap, that's what it is alright.

I'll bet you are right; it does have that little raindrop, and you are in Texas so you know about freezing rain!
