ah false alarm i think a weenie misclicked, its a none nowSnow mping Kannapolis
Gonna take more than wind. We've gotten enough sleet where my neighbors hay truck is struggling to move up the road.
Speeding up precip some too and I think it still arrives sooner than that. I know dry air will eat it up initially but I don't think we see virga for 2 hours, heck you will see snowflakes before the sun sets

I'm like 2 miles inside the line to go from 2 inches to 6inches depicted on the Hrrr. It's got 3 inches falling on the back end in the upstate and i'm right on the line... sort of annoying to have to be analyzing this so hard, haha.

when does the 850 supposed to crash again in ATL? after the precip right?

As soon as they upgraded to winter storm warnings and the precipitation started falling heavier, it turned to all rain. Pardon me while I go somewhere and weep silently.

I’m trying to play price is right with this transition line. Closest without going over.

Yeah, this setup doesn't scream big ice storm in the Carolinas to me.
There definitely will be a glaze in many areas of course, but many of the official forecast totals I've seen are likely way overdone.
The lack of a solid cold high to the north & southerly winds in the boundary layer suggests a quicker transition from sleet to freezing rain & rain, which seems to be verifying upstream over Georgia so far.

Just started flurries Polk county Rutherford county line.
I think precipitation is done here. 3 inches of snow, brief period of sleet, no rain, temp at 32. Everything on the radar for the last two hours has been nothing. I would say this has been an awesome snow day.
PUKIN right now in Canon. Only had about 1.5 inches or so a few minutes ago but that's about to change. Chicken feathers. WOW. No sleet since it started in my yard about 8ish.

Yep. Freezing rain is a self-limiting process. Heavier rates usually do not translate to heavier ice accrual, if anything it's the opposite most times. Light, long duration precipitation is usually the way to go, which has not been the calling card of this particular storm.
When everything is trying to freeze at once and you don't have a continuous supply of cold air to offset the extra latent heat release from that, you go over to rain much more quickly.

3.25" of snow total here in Franklin county AL, starting to change to drizzle.

As of 11:30 est, 100% freezing rain for about an hour now. Hovering around 31 so far and trees are looking glazed. The roof of the house is melting but unheated buildings are accumulating ice.
Nice. Im over in Bostic waiting. Should be soon.

NBM FRAM seems at least semi-reasonable to me. Maybe a tenth of an inch or so of glaze in the Carolinas
https://poweroutage.us/ the region is looking okay, so far, to the West.

You keep doing what you do...fine job for us up here!
We've cut the evaporating layer in half over the last hour
14z vs 15z HRRR for RDU at 04z. 14z had more lift in DGZ = cooler column. This is probably going to be a precip rate driven event around here during the heart of the event. Heavier rates = more towards snow, lighter rates will be mixed with or mostly sleet.

10:30 update in SE HSV. Ended up with 5.5-6” here. Solid score
Well, props to the state and local road crews.
Despite rates approaching 1" per hour and temps in the upper 20s and a frozen ground to begin with, the driving conditions are rather decent. Good job fellas.

Big flakes look pretty but small flakes are better at accumulating

Switched over to mainly freezing rain and some sleet. Temp right at or just below 32.
It's been sleeting for a while in Myrtle Beach! I was not expecting anything like that. I consider it a win!

Snow starting in Statesville NC. Pretty early compared to forecasts

Now I'm out riding with my dad, who didn't want me to drive home.
This should mostly melt probably, but based on the roads, definitely a legit winter storm for the SE here.

15Z HRRR depicting snow, but how when the DGZ is so dry?
