Looks like we got HRRR’d on temps, never dropped below 32 at RDU despite what it said. I think we had some glazing on tree tops here and the like, but pretty minor. On the other hand, things seem worse in Greensboro, where my friend who lives around the UNCG area has lost power. Not sure about my parents yet.

So who's jealous it didn't ice for them?

Thank you for that. Looks like about 0.15" there at your location.
Pretty beautiful you gotta admit!!

Just a FYI... Charleston, SC has been stuck at 41° since midnight... rain continues.
My region just north is 39° ... classic cold air damming per AFD...
Definitely think this comes into play later with the next series of storm systems..

34 here. Ice still on tree tops, but it’s melting. Not sure if I ever went to 31 last night, which I think made a huge difference.
Good luck to y’all who got more, and hope your lights stay on. (or come back on soon)

We haven't been above freezing since day before yesterday.
Depends if you lost power or not, hahaha.
My parents near the GSO airport said they still have power, but my grandmother who lives one street over from them doesn’t. Go figure.

Wash rinse repeat. That office...
Check that, my parents lost power about an hour ago, as well.

Somehow, we still have power. I am very grateful for that.

Oh yea, lost it around 930 or 10.
Okay, then yeah I’d rather not switch with ya. :l)
I actually almost went back to Greensboro this evening to visit my parents since I don’t really have much going on here this weekend and haven’t been back since Christmas, but I’m glad I didn’t go back now, haha.
Pure ice storms aren’t much fun. Combine it with some sleet and/or snow and I can have some fun with that, though.

Considering the VAD profiles show the damming inversion is only 1500ft off the deck... Indeed
Edit: Thunderstorms with heavy rain at 41 at Noon at the Charleston Weather Forecast Officer.

Had a pretty good glaze here in Huntsville of ice on trees and street signs and house roof this morning that was poorly (or not at all) forecast. Didn't start melting until after 1000.

Luckily we've already moved out of this place
