GSO says 39/22 but my home station says 34.3/20.7

If we were to get something similar to what is in SE Va to near @metwannabe down here we would be in big trouble. That Danville to GSO to Roxoboro area isn't going to be pretty View attachment 76057

Those dews have even more time to drop in central VA. Wonder if we have a mechanism to press it down into our area. I dont even know where and how strong our HP is.

Thats awesome. Since I am a weirdo I take the snow from my driveway and put it in the shade on the north side of my house and see how long it stays around.

I made it outside the kids window. That’s not weird at all, sounds like a good idea, be right back

6 inches so far in south FlorenceView attachment 76056

Our education system has failed us. That’s 2.5 inches and nearly 6cm

Looks like its 1032 near NYC. Just looking at things we may get more of a northerly component to our sfc winds overnight which should help the dry feed especially as the coastal trough tightens up

Those dews in VA will work if we continue to drop our sfc temps some.

All those snow pics... how about a sleet pic. Maybe enough for a couple of sleet balls or a tiny sleetman here lol

Van Denton just said he thinks this ends by 12:00 Friday in the Triad. He has moved his +.5 line to north of the Triad and put us in the .25-.50 ice

Got a shot at the world record for the coldest rain:

 

[jackendrickwx]

We’re running 5F warmer than the forecast imby, schools lookin dumb as hell. 42/28

Oak Ridge, north side of GSO. No UHI effect. Have that generator ready.

You are a weirdo. Why go through all that trouble!?! When you can put it in the freezer, and, in July become the most dominant snow ball fighter in your city.

The 3k nam held RDU at 32 or 33 for like 31 straight hours. That's a narrow margin of error between no big deal and a mess.

If the Heels dont get it, then Pittsboro wont. Oh well.

HRRR warmer again

Hopefully my rural area just to the west knocks off a degree of that.

it should I think starting at the Wake/Franklin line US1 south to around 540 then around to 64 will be a loose idea of the freezing rain/rain line

Same here.. 35/22 hmmmm

I was wondering noticing that. Glad you pointed it out. To much easterly imo once west of coastal plain at sunset , even in VA,MD.
Its definitely northerly spine of apps ,points west

ARound 4 in here nw of huntsville and I hear just rain in south huntsville..wow...heavy snow again, sleet mixes in and takes over at times

 

[Webberweather53]

My final call map for this event, not many changes overall from my first one yesterday morning. I ticked up the amounts in the Triad & N piedmont about 0.05" and decided to bite on the local max in ZR in southern Henderson Co esp near Saluda (which often happens in events like these). The unusually strong warm nose aloft + slight warming trends in the models are what kept me from going ham w/ the totals like I did for the last event.

Honestly anywhere not on the escarpment like Hendersonville, Saluda, or along and north of 40 is likely going to be rain. I’m 39/24 and that’s not going to cut it.

Just stepped outside to roll the trashcan to the road, noticed a stiff NE breeze and thought to myself, would like to see more of a N/NE breeze for optimal drying/cooling. If that happens gonna be fun for a few hours

Saluda is 15 minutes up the road and will end up with a 1/2 an inch of ice like the always do while I get the always reliable 32 degree rain

Looks like @Tarheel1 wheelchair on his deck.

 

[Shadypines33]

Just abruptly switched from sleet/snow to sleet/rain at 31.

 

[NCSNOW]

Almost like the base of the HP axis is in PA on this wind map link. Our winds are coming from NE out over ocean back into our back yards.
