Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

About an 1" of snow/sleet here. Just a wee bit of freezing rain so far.

Temp is 30.2 and slowly creeping up

I guess we’re going to escape with minimal icing at this point given surface temps are creeping up close to freezing and the IP continues. Might changeover for a little bit, but no way we’re getting 0.2”+ like forecasted.
 
Simpsonville has transitioned back to pretty much all snow with some very fat flakes mixed in. We were all sleet for about 4 hours. Very little ZR. Maybe a glaze at best. ZR forecast here was way overdone.

About 7 inches in commerce and more to come!

Now that’s a pile of sleet. ?
One of my favorite parts of sleet is how it comes off the roof and makes those huge piles. Haha. I remember we got some 3’ piles of sleet back in a storm back in the early 2000s back in GSO where three sections of roof slanted down into a single crevice by the garage. Crazy stuff! Noticing a bit here now as well!

I'm getting freezing rain now, but even here it shouldn't be too bad:

I’m honestly surprised how long sleet has held on here.
Ditto. It hammered to.
Noticed we get snow sounding back around 6 to 630. Future radar shows a nice little band around 830 to 930. Mtns have a big backside band at this time. Be a great way to cap off with a half inch to inch. We have had to had over 2 inches of sleet heading toward 3. This on the inch of snowfall.
 
32.4 temp slowly rising but all frozen over here now obviously, looks like about .1-.15 of ice accrual. Pressure dropping too and winds should start to crank in a few hours
 
Light freezing rain here but you with 850’s crashing and under freezing this is due to no moisture yet in the DGZ but snow reports back in Greenville tells me that’s changing quickly. Honestly looks like some snow trying to mix with it but it’s too hard to tell yet.
