Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

[RBR71]

Temp climbing steadily up to 29.1 very light precip with nice glaze. Probably out of woods here by time heavier returns arrive should be above freezing

 

[neelsamb]

Has tapered off in the north metro a bit. Looks like there are heavy returns to the south but they just disappear as they make their way up here.

So, you are probably in the same part of the storm we were in around 6am this morning. We shot up 5 degrees but we have since cooled back to 36. We had a warm tongue at 850 keeping our temps up for the longest but that seems to be eroding.....finally.

Hope it starts eroding soon. Tired of this cold rain

I think I heard the obx are under a level one threat

Heavy winds are blowing the smoke back down our chimney making the fire alarm go off

 

[Snownut]

Those Convection bands across upstate mean business!

Stoke it!

Been sitting at 37° for the past 2 hours. Snow mixes in occasionally. I am right on the edge it seems like. I think its going to pivot around me and dry up before this warm layer erodes.

Incoming!

 

[SimeonNC]

There's light snow mixing in with the sleet I think?

 

[Sky86]

Power out. Light to moderate snow falling.

Where are you? If you get a chance and don't mind, would you please add your location to your profile?

You can see how the banding is rotating over the eastside of the metro. GFS might be onto something...we'll see.

 

[LukeBarrette]

1.5 inches in Roanoke. Snow is starting to transition from smaller flakes to bigger flakes. Big batch of heavy snow about to move in.

I thought the same thing.

 

[jjwxman]

It's been a sleet fest for several hours in Randleman, NC. 26 degrees.

[rambleon]

saw the first tiny snowflakes here in chapel hill, been all sleet so far. any chance of backend snow for us up this way or are we just going to turn to freezing rain to end it?

 

[blueheronNC]

Trees starting to get that glazed look here. Up to 30.0F so hopefully we go above freezing before too long.

 

[Bama1980]

Pouring snow here. Power has been sketchy since around midnight. At one point it was off over 3 hours. Holding at 33 so far

 

[tractor girl]

It hasn't stopped snowing in western side of Athens Georgia, right now the flakes are a little smaller but it still coming down pretty heavily

 

[Tarheel17]

2.5-3 inches of snowy, sleety, icy, mess near South Park in Charlotte. Freezing rain mixing in now.

 

[Flurry]

Finally starting to look like a snow sky here...Maybe some flakes in my future

 

[WxGSO]

2” snow.. 1” sleet. Sleeting heavily. 19 degrees

Exact same here....

I like to use this site for number of outages: https://poweroutage.us/area/regions

You can drill down to the state and county level. Shows most power companies too. But wont show you the exact locations of outage like Duke's site does.

 

[Heelyes]

It's not 27 degrees at noon very often, still pretty heavy sleet.

 

[Chazwin]

ZR seems to be taking over here now and the temp is now 30… definitely more ice noticeable in the trees. Wind starting to pick up

Struggling with surface temps in town. Mostly melted off the grassy areas. But no complaints!

 

[PGAWx]

30.9. Everything is iced over and sagging substantially. Good thing it’s warming quickly.

Returns are starting to pop again near Montgomery. Hopefully this can pinwheel into ATL later.

 

[tractor girl]

The Athens airport (on the east side) says dew point is 35° with temps at 34.

Snow continues to fall pretty heavily on the west side I'm hearing reports that folks on the east side of town are seeing rain

Gulf what do you think abt our temps. Snowing but struggling to accumulate

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

Still freezing rain here in apex 31 .. it’s eh

 

[RBR71]

Getting icicles forming need temp to get above freezing soon

Seems like those first few bands are getting tapped out as they cross the border.
