The best tool to use is a Skew-T. This will help determine snow vs ice pellets vs freezing rain/drizzle.
Interesting and very good point. During a winter storm in southern New England, about I'll say four years ago... the temperature during the storm in Concord, New Hampshire was 12°F with sleet, while reporting station around my town were in the 20's with varying intensities of snow.
6-12 sounds good, but something like 8-14 or 12+ sounds alot better to me...let the storm come more northward! PLZ!
