Looks like around 5 inches here. If the rates had been better this would have been historic here no doubt

 

[rburrel2]

What’s the timing on that kidney bean now? Still 5pm?

Nah, should hit Greenville around 2:30. It’s sped up. Hrrr says we’re 24 when it hits

Future cast looks nasty

Just went outside I see we are sleeting like crazy. How long can it last though?

It’ll last a while based on the sleet reports in Georgia. IMO

 

[weather bubba]

The NWS lowered forecast ice accrual amounts to .38 inches earlier this morning from the .46 they had at the beginning of the storm. That is still enough to cause trouble but it is a step in the right direction to lessen the likelihood of power outages. The dry dewpoints near the surface have been hard to overcome and have lessened the QPF from this storm.

Probably a while still all sleet here in commerce.

Concord is still that fine pixie dust snowing stuff with sleet mixing in from time to time.

 

[rburrel2]

@Jimmy Hypocracy is this good?

 

[Mitch West]

With the look on radar, the upstate of SC into the Piedmont of NC is about to get multiple inches of sleet. Some areas still reporting some snow.

3hr accums over Clemson, Pickens, Easley..already over 1/4”

If it was snow yes. Very good. The best, even

 

[Corey Ford]

How long can we expect the sub-freezing 925 to stay in place in the Upstate and NC Piedmont?

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

@rburrel2 you think it’s about to be heavy sleet?

 

[rburrel2]

@rburrel2 you think it’s about to be heavy sleet?

Yes, heaviest yet. Mega sleet. Will prob be some liquid mixed in with the heaviest stuff bc the water droplets are bigger and have a tougher time freezing though. We will see!

But still no signs of liquid mixing in here yet.

 

[Stevo24]

I feel pretty confident that most of us can breathe for a little while on the power outages. Idk what this afternoon holds though. Gotta keep an eye out for the trees. If they start sagging and getting shiny I’ll fire up the fireplace.

925 nose starting to break down on mesoanalysis, let’s see how she holds up

I don’t think I can spike the football just yet, but my sleet accumulation forecast is looking pretty good right now, haha

Tighten up for sure over the last 4 hours based on the SPC page.

1/2” Mooresville NC…. I’d like about 3-4” Sleet please

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen winter precip at 21 degrees here. In fact, I’m not sure I ever have in the last 30 years.

We’ve done 23/24 several times, but not 21.

I'm 55 and can't remember seeing any precip at 23 deg in Oconee. Fzr starting to mix back into sleet in Southern oconee

Sleet bomb. Probably not far from a inch of sleet, and it’s really coming down

 

[Brent]

Id say probably 6 inches. Pretty similar to last January here. A lot colder though. Been below 15 degrees the entire storm

Just perusing some traffic cameras this morning, this is I-95 exit 79 near Benson NC

This is an old style wedge bust. No modeling could see it being that cold

You think we stay below freezing for the duration? Hrrr has that now. NWS mentions us going above freezing.

Doubt it at this point, we are probably rather gonna be fighting to get out of the 20s during that convective line

Fro, just about the only realistic model on temps was the ARW.

 

[rusrius]

Woke up this morning to a glazing over everything. Getting frozen most and the occasional sleet pellet as well. Forecast low was 27 and is currently 21.7. Major bust on temps.

Alan Huffman says that he believes the triangle will stay below freezing. He says if it changes over it will only be at the very very end.

I don't think we get above freezing in the CLT area either but we better pray we do, that line will be crushing as it moves through

I'm afaid that's what might take out the power. It may not add to the ice accrual that much with heavy rates and rising temps? In any case, I'm going to be ready when it comes through.

 

[chase223322]

We have a layer of sleet and ice but now its raining pretty hard and puddling on the gound but the temp is 28 - what in the world

 

[snowc-alt]

KNCERWIN28 (Vaney) is at 26! From 20 this morning at 4am

11 and sleet. Cars have a slight glaze on windows so there must have been a few liquid drops getting through. I'm ready if the light go out I guess.

HRRR and RRFS has me to you and everyone in between below freezing for the duration. Including the "squall" line. Seeing how stout this CAD is, I tend to believe we stay below freezing

 

[BackThePack]

23f and steady freezing drizzle. Occasionally mixed with Sleet in Southern Wake County, NC.

Solid glaze on all surfaces.
