15/Sleet/Freezing Rain here in Central PA tonight. I noticed that Weather Underground is misinterpreting precip codes tonight, resulting in -FZRAPL turning into "Mist." I'm guessing they couldn't interpret the FZRA (freezing rain) or PL (*new* code for Sleet (Ice Pellets)) and just read -F which would mean Light Fog which could be interpreted as Mist. Any of you who are converting METAR's to plain language keep that in mind, I believe the new sleet abbrev. went into effect recently, maybe last week?
