Local 6 viewers in Marion and Flagler counties reported light snowfall before 6 a.m., although it did not accumulate. Sleet was reported throughout Central Florida shortly thereafter.

Local 6 meteorologist Tom Sorrells had predicted that moisture would creep into the Orlando area early in the morning on Jan 9.

"It will be cold enough that some of this could have sleet or maybe a snowflake mixed in," Sorrells said.

Numerous freezes hit Central Florida before and after the snow and sleet fell as an unusual lengthy cold spell gripped the area.
