CASILIST : Monthly climate sumary for Trenton, MO / METAR decoding problems

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?
