Wintry Jan 23-27 Winter Storm Obs

[LukeBarrette]

I think precipitation is done for the most part here in Blacksburg. No freezing rain at all!

 

[Flo]

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

Coming down fast and furious. Good thing for the trees and lines at least

 

[Spurs up]

Up to 30 let's get that up some more!

 

[JQPublic]

Puking sleet in SW Wake Cty. Pixie dust might be mixed in.

 

[JimBobs]

Looks like we have maybe an hour remaining of light precipitation here in the SouthPark area of Charlotte. No icing issues in the trees at all. Can't believe we got through the storm without ZR problems. Now hoping we stay below freezing all night for some more sledding tomorrow morning before the sun finally comes out.

 

[JHS]

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 View attachment 189213

Still going over here, but probably not for much longer. Sleet helped both of us out a lot this time.

 

[jackendrickwx]

This is why you always leave the Christmas lights up thru the winter

 

[Heelyes]

Pretty heavy sleet and 20

 

[cg2916]

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

Same here. The top of the sleet is a lot more slick than it was earlier.

 

[Pefus]

IP/Pixie dust - NW Chapel Hill

 

[superjames1992]

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

Looks like we’ve got about two hours of this? Curious what we can do. I’d love for us to at least get most of the grass blades covered before it’s over!

 

[Packsox03]

UNC extended class cancellation through Tuesday. Would have to imagine NC State will follow soon. Need to buy myself as much time as I can to get back down there

 

[Pilotwx]

All done in Northern Foothills , NW flow kicking in, hope everyone’s power stays on or gets back on.

 

[Turner Team]

None here in Roanoke either thankfully. Looks like we got about 1/2 inch of sleet from that last batch.

Pouring sleet in apex. I think we will accumulate more during this band than the entire storm so far

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Disaster avoided here. What could have been

The grass is just about gone here

whatever it is they are bouncing and very round
frog eggs?

 

[rawlee]

beautiful picture!

 

[BullCityWx]

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

Yeah same diamond dust as last night

 

[Gary M]

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

Sounds like Smith Level Road baby!

From various reports from friends I can confirm no ZR in the Roanoke and New River Valleys.

Sleet has ended. The last thump put down about 1/2”.

 

[Snowacane]

Heavy rain and sleet W of Chapel Hill. The Frz rain was just in the heavy band, now back to sleet

 

[jackendrickwx]

Ended up with about 0.8” sleet and 0.1” ZR @Webberweather53

Edit I forgot I’m not in north carolina

 

[DopplerWx]

1” sleet here, wild storm. On to the mauler

 

[BullCityWx]

I think I’m comfortable saying we’ve officially dodged a gigantic bullet IMBY.

What a relief.

 

[rusrius]

I have never pulled for warmth so hard during a winter storm. Freezing rain and 31.1

 

[SD]

If everyone could post their location and totals when this over that would be great

 

[Round Oak Weather]

Round Oak, GA light glaze of freezing rain/ trace

 

[Ross]

What a relief.

i think there are a lot of places sighing in relief right now.

flipped to light zr in richmond, rose to 23.5. praying that "convective" band or whatever is at least half sleet

 

[Pefus]

winter weather lasagna

 

[SWVAwxfan]

just saw a video clip on Facebook of a thunderstorm with sleet and freezing rain in Blythewood SC.

You made one hell of a call dude. Monetize that Substack.

 

[Btownheel]

Annnd, we have grass disappeared with straight sleet. That’s pretty damn impressive. Only remember that once as a kid in the
90s.

I think it happened with the President's Day 2003 storm, as well (I believe that was all-sleet in GSO?). I remember there was an area next to our garage such that the sleet came off the roof in multiple directions and fell into there and we had a four-foot pile (or so) of sleet after it, LOL!

 

[cg2916]

Back to just sleet now. There’s a new layer on top of the concrete layer from earlier.

 

[BullCityWx]

Seeing more and more diamond dust.

Still 20 degrees

 

[superjames1992]

Looking at radar, it does seem like the band might be weakening a little bit as it moves eastwards. In any case, it's still coming down good and I figured we've got until 8pm or so until we're through it.

 

[FallsLake]

Seeing more and more diamond dust.

Still 20 degrees

Seeing the same here Pouring the sleet as well. I am up to 21.0 degrees.
