Yeah basically the way Tidbits determines what p-type is falling is pretty flawed and doesn't look at the entire column. So if an area is 33-34 at the surface and 850s are fairly close to 0C but above it it will show that as "snow" on the accumulation map even though it would be rain or at best sleet falling.
Not quite, DGZ is very dry. Probably mostly sleet.

Not to mention, all it's gonna take is a thin warm nose (maybe even between model levels, so not depicted here) and boom, sleet
 
They particularly state IP in that Georgia Graph so I assume they expect due to temps majority of Mix will be in the form of Sleet
 
If anything, this thing has trended to a tighter gradient trying to set up along 85. I need it to wiggle that line a tick south which it will do every now and again especially with a cold wedge in place
