Wintry Jan 23-27 Winter Storm Obs

[rusrius]

Absolute deluge of freezing rain. Crap.

 

[Chazwin]

Wow. That sleet bomb only needed about 30 minutes to put me over 1” from the storm. ZR beginning to take over. Fortunately didn’t have much glaze here yet

 

[superjames1992]

The sleet seems to be picking up here now. You can really hear it when you open the front door.

 

[iGRXY]

Why is it at an angle?

You might have measured the object also ngl

Brother i was standing in shorts with rain hitting me in the face lol

 

[chuckhendo]

Crazy rain here now. Might be some sleet mixed in but seems to be mostly rain

Not a drop of zr yet here with it. Straight sleet and piling up nicely. Top shards of grass disappearing.

There's rotation!

 

[Scooter]

Pouring sleet here. Can hear it hitting the windows

 

[JHS]

imagine we'll still have a little bit of mist or drizzle linger for a bit tonight but the heaviest ZR is done. it did pick up quickly but not a ton on branches, maybe a tenth down here

About the same I guess about 20 miles to your southeast. Sleet really done its job for us this time. Sadly, not the same from Greenville and west into northeast GA and especially north Mississippi into Tennessee.

Hope it holds and is sleet when it gets here. Grass almost covered, need another .5 will do the trick

 

[Flo]

Heavy rain. So hard I can’t tell if it is freezing. I imagine it will as it settles

 

[Btownheel]

If it holds these rates for the 2 hours modeled and doesn’t flip, I believe we’ll scare doubling totals.

Sleeting like crazy now in southern Chapel Hill - even any ZR is mixed in, it’s minimal, because the sleet is definitely overpowering right now. Just started around 20 mins ago.

 

[NCSNOW]

Sleet is pouring. Shoveled me a path earlier today sidewalk. Completely disappeared

Yea the 4 wheelers out pulling kids in sleds is on full bore. Perfect conditions

I measured a limb in the flower bed in the front of the house (it was blocked by the NE winds from the house so it probably didn’t get any ZR when it was raining at an angle) and it was at 3/8”. So anywhere from 0.38-0.45” would be my best guess

 

[SouthSideYankee]

Absolutely dumping sleet in Durham

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

So long, Fern. Not the biggest storm I’ve ever had. But hands down the most dynamic. This storm will be studied for years and is its own analog. What a day. Y’all hold it down back east

 

[ColaSnow]

I'm presuming it's freezing rain as I sit here at 27 degrees. It's really coming down.

 

[Ghost]

Pouring rain with some sleet mixed 29 degrees. Wind seems to be picking up. West Columbia

 

[superjames1992]

Starting to hammer now, I need to take a walk! Big sound on the windows!

 

[carolinaman]

1/8” of glaze in Dunn from overnight and a short burst of drizzle this afternoon. Additional roughly 1/4” of sleet on flat surfaces. Temp is 27 and precipitation is rapidly approaching

 

[Brent9]

In the upstate after all this passes what’s our temps supposed to do, rise above freezing or sit below till sunrise ?

 

[BullCityWx]

Extremely heavy sleet here.

20/19

 

[weather bubba]

All of the models have underestimated the strength of the CAD in this storm and its stubbornness. That and the lower QPF numbers than forecasted are two reasons the power is still on for most of us in North Carolina. This has been a complicated pattern to forecast and it will be interesting to see a summary of the things that have never occurred with a winter storm before in the Southeast.

 

[Spurs up]

Icing up pretty bad

 

[NCwx1992]

I'm loving it. Sounds like popping corn outside!!

 

[FallsLake]

Sleeting really good here. Temp 20.3 degrees. Hoping it can stay that way for this band.

 

[Forevertothee]

ZR ongoing at 30.

 

[Ghost]

I noticed a glaze on our trees for the first time all day here in West Columbia.

I’m 2 miles south of CH and let’s hope it stays that way!

 

[iGRXY]

Columbia really could get 1/4” based on the radar

 

[JQPublic]

Sleet starting in SW Wake county

 

[PGAWx]

Round 2 just started. Mod sleet 22.8.

 

[Btownheel]

We’re even getting the ice crystal micro flakes with it.

You must be real close to where I'm at right now! My partner lives right by the Orange/ Chatham county line intersection off of 501. Praying we keep to sleet

 

[disassociated_vort]

moderate to heavy sleet minimal ZR if any
hurts to look at the sky pines took on ice during the day
lots more to come looks like

 

[Tsappfrog20]

It’s Pouring Sleet in North Raleigh!!

South of chapel hill, definitely can feel ice glazing over the sleet from earlier. Some kind of mix is falling

 

[DCK]

Lost power about 30 minutes ago. Outage map doesn’t look terrible at the moment so hopefully we will have it back on tomorrow.
