Seriously, does this happen to everyone else???
38/26 so rain for a bit at least if the doughnut hole finally closes.

She's moved north of me, couple pingers falling. Not much moisture on radar atm........... 32.1/31
This storm is a perfect example of how little we know. Who knew a lack of moisture and or lulls would matter over temps for north-west NC? Ended up with half inch of snow mixed with a little sleet at the onset. Still snowing lightly. I think anyone from the north-west corner of the state can say moisture mattered more than temps. I am calling a HUGE bust for an ice storm in some areas. Others may still see some iso lift this morning for a glaze don’t get me wrong...

Did u see or hear of any snow or sleet up your way? @metwannabe
Didn't see anything on social media, mPING, etc.

The SPC still doesn’t get it with their new meso discussion. For Virginia it’s going to be about moisture too. Not the sleet taking over as the main moisture exits. Not the extreme warming taking place over the southern Apps. There is a lack of consistent heavy moisture. Heavy icing will likely not occur there either. I wish they or the NWS will just say as the main batch of moisture exits its over and will transition to non-snow due to lack of moisture/rates.
RGEM freezing maps leading up to the storm may be the biggest fail in years. In all areas. From NC to WV. Over 1” of ice and nada. Predicted Widespread coverage and now it’s looks like the escarpment areas only lol.
NAM did bad aswell, hrrr actually got lucky with its warm/mixing bias altho it still did bad Aswell, sure rgem showed ice but it had the fronto band/ early overrunning precip in the right areas
Some of these tools we have access to are misused every winter. I think the in-house model ice output ------------- has outdoes those RGEM maps 90% of the time. Nothing is perfect but might as well use what works better more consistently next time.
Well I'm ashamed to say but I missed it as it was happening but I just looked out and the cars, deck, rooftop to my shed all white and looks like mostly sleet. Had to be some snow mixed in though, definitely a solid dusting here.

Here you go this should help with your map later, .1 maybe .15? All IP it appears....must've been a nice pingerfest for a bit last night. Hate I missed it but 4:30 comes early lol

32-33 degree rain on my way in to work in Greensboro this morning. Slushy sidewalks. Just missed that two hour delay.
Can't believe no 2 hour delay out your way.... all schools here on 2 hour delay this morning. Now it's 32.5 with drizzle

Weve now had rain 4 out of the last 5 days with temps in the 32.5-35 degree range.

If you go back and look at yesterdays 12Z stuff, ICON and HRDPS seemed like it had the dry slot handled the best. 3k NAM too. But yea, we need to remember this kind of setup and if we see some models show that, we better take notice.
Had a decent front end snow. Would have liked to seen it before the sleet and ZR made if mushy. We are at 32/30 so busted high on temp too. Probably a good thing.

Thanks! I'm working on it atm! Definitely helps a lot considering there are hardly any surface observations out your way!
No man's land up here... Lol
They saw the warning and couldn't call 911 to report them

Here's a preliminary map of this event, mPING comes in pretty handy during marginal trace events like this.
Lol I must’ve gotten lucky with this event, my porch looked exactly like @metwannabe ‘s , .1 sweet spot ??

Possibly! I also am not sure how many other folks around you correctly noted the light accumulation of snow/sleet on elevated surfaces but who tf cares, it's better to at least think you were in the sweet spot

At least Roxboro wasn’t the sweet spot this storm?
Had about 2 or 3 inches of snow this morning and then it changed to rain during the day. Now its just a nasty slush.
It does look suspect seeing that .2 at my location and nowhere around me, but that's why I sent that pic.... it takes about .15 or .2 to be able to leave footprints like I did lolLol I must’ve gotten lucky with this event, my porch looked exactly like @metwannabe ‘s , .1 sweet spot ??

The wedge did not break here until 6 AM today so it was a very good thing it was drier than expected.
