WWA just got extended till 2 pm, temp still hovering around 32 and small icicles forming on the trees... I actually think the snow on the ground made a slight difference

Yeah rain falling into the melting snow that's on the ground from the last storm probably keeps knocking you back to 32F

About how much glaze (in nearest hundredths or 5 one hundredths of an inch) did everyone see today? Not too many reports for me to go off of atm

Had around 5 inches of snow, 0.10 of ice accrual this morning. Southern Mitchell county between Little Switzerland and Grassy Creek

What you think, .07ish or so? I'm not good with the ice accruals (not the best pics I know)

Thank you. Debating whether to make 2 separate maps for this particular storm, one for ice and one for IP/SN

Yeah I hear ya. Interesting storm for sure. Had 2-2.5 inches of snow from that initial band around 5PM then had about the same amount from 3AM-7AM then freezing rain commenced for about a hour or so.

Nice pics! That seems like a reasonable guess, anything near to slightly below 0.1" doesn't seem too crazy. Thanks for this, lol you know how hard it is to get reliable snow/sleet reports in the northern coastal plain during most winter storms, even harder when there's ZR involved. Also helps when you're in the jackpot zone for the previous snowstorm and had some of the best low-level cold available in the area, so I have an idea for what the overall ceiling is around there.

I'm with @Myfrotho704_ I saw a trace of sleet. Also are you going to wait until after tomorrow to make your map? Or are you not interested in tomorrow

Yeah I'm gonna at least wait til tomorrow maybe even Monday if the trailing upper low that's attached to this system drops a little snow east of the mtns. I'll come back into this thread later & scour it for ZR & IP/SN totals. Every little bit helps especially when it comes to ZR

Sweet. Yeah there was no ZR at all here in Mooresville.
 
Although RDU didn't record a trace yesterday (they did today), it definitely would count as a trace (or maybe even 0.1" of sleet) here (between Raleigh and Cary) since I had some light accumulations on elevated surfaces. The snow/sleet mix only lasted about 30 minutes though, from around 11-11:30 pm last night.
 
Started out as sleet and quickly changed to rain. The temperature never dipped below freezing. 33.2 was my lowest recorded just south of GSO. We got 0.97” of rain since midnight. Mud pies again........

Webber..... you can put my location down for 0.3 inch of snow from that initial band yesterday. I did not notice any glaze this morning even though it was at 32 degrees for a period of time.
 
Just crossed the 1” mark for today, that takes me to over 6” for the month of Jan. Few rouge snow patches hanging out still but they will be gone shortly. 40.8/40.5
