Simeon that last sentence scares me just a bit sir, even if I don't know you. You got anybody you can talk to?My personal life has been crap lately and this was the only thing that I was looking forward to, like if the winter weather didn't happen I was hoping it would at least get cold but fricking no.
It feels like everything I get excited about just goes away. I bet if something happened to me, CLT/NC/The SE would probably have a blockbuster storm not too long after.
I'm sorry I'm just really upset rn, and yeah I do.Simeon that last sentence scares me just a bit sir, even if I don't know you. You got anybody you can talk to?
Don’tHonest question here. How do I drive in freezing rain?
Alright man, I'm glad to hear it. (that you got someone to talk to)I'm sorry I'm just really upset rn, and yeah I do.
Man, WE don't want anything to happen to you. Glad you have a resource to talk to. You can always hang with us on this board and enjoy the plight we all experience with crappy winter weather chances.

I just literally just saw this forecast too and thought....our temperature deviates 11 degress (44-33) for the next 4 days? How often does that happen?If you like cold rain, this is the best forecast I've ever seen. View attachment 74127
Sorry to hear that man. I don't know you personally, but I want the best for you. Let's all keep visiting around the weather. I appreciate your contributions you've made here.I'm sorry I'm just really upset rn, and yeah I do.
If it's below 28 or so, you probably shouldn't. (as Sleet City man suggested earlier) You should just hunker down and hope your power don't go out.Honest question here. How do I drive in freezing rain?
Thanks. I only have to face any kind of winter storm every 3-4 years or so. Of those I've only been through a couple minor freezing rain events, so I thought I'd ask.If it's below 28 or so, you probably shouldn't.

I'm not an expert, but I've noticed from years of observing this really depends on surface temp. If you've got heavy rates and 30 and above, you'll get some accrual, but a lot of it will really just run off. But the lower you go, it really depends on surface temp.If someone is under an ongoing Ice Storm Warning with heavy rates overhead, would this cause my runoff than accrual on surfaces? Or is this also highly dependent on how low the surface temp is?
Excellent! Thanks for the feedback. Was something that came to mind with heavier rates overnight and into the morning hours at my location even though we were holding steady at 30. Not a significant amount of accrual so your message makes sense.I'm not an expert, but I've noticed from years of observing this really depends on surface temp.

If it's heavy and you're below 27, then it's time to start getting worried.
Yessir. If you’re at 30 you’re likely ok. Not that you can’t have problems there, but it’d have to be a long sustained event with lighter to moderate rates. If it’s raining cats and dogs, then you might have so much rates that temp at surface is rising slightly and less accrual.Excellent! Thanks for the feedback.

Absolutely agree! It was ‘94 for me at 6 years old.Yessir. If you’re at 30 you’re likely ok.

Honestly the vast majority of frz rn events aren’t worse than snow. And they can be pretty. ( I bet tomorrow morning will look stunning at you’re locale) But it’s the really bad ones that you got to worry about and why you hear fear in some of us. I’d say 1 in 20. Those are the ones that humble you and make you talk in reverent tones at the potential that Mother Nature can wrought. For me, it was Dec 02. Others can relate or toss up other storms. You will likely see at least one in your lifetime, but likely not this one.
