Deck is fine here in the Pleasant Road area of Durham, but everything above 15' or so has ice accrual.

31.5/30

Just stepped outside. Have a very light glaze on elevated surfaces here in Mooresville

Temp is right at 32 and just did a walk around the neirghborhood. No icing to report here

 

[Webberweather53]

Yep, just dropped to 30 myself. Brad Panovich kept talking about we had the mechanisms in place to sustain this event but people were concerned that the ------ HRRR wAsNt ShOWiNg aCcUmULaTiOnS.

Also, you can hear the sound of the glaze already on the trees with the breeze that’s blowing. We just had a 13 MPH gust and while normally you might not even notice that, you and I both know in a freezing rain event, that’s bad news.

The HRRR should be largely ignored in CAD events.

Here’s the foothill split! May be saving grace here.

I just got my first glimpse of the ice here with daybreak. I'm estimating a solid .10 on the tree limbs at eye level. Also, the concrete path from driveway to front door is slick as snot--I almost lost it. That didn't happen last time.

Makes sense, the angle of the deeper low-mid level flow looks to be slightly favoring downsloping if anything in the far NW piedmont near Wilkes & Surry Co. The lift afforded by the CAD dome itself should offset some of that but I'm hoping it helps you avoid getting your power knocked out

Good call

Now that I've drove to work I saw about 1/10th" of ice coating trees and my car.

 

[Webberweather53]

Already seeing several 0.1" reports from a few hours ago in the northern piedmont just north of the Triad reaffirming @Poimen's recent observation, and this event is just getting started...

Salisbury 32

Ice on trees south of gso

 

[NCSNOW]

Close up of amount so far

 

[Metwannabe]

31.6 been as low as 31.1 and icy, no time to take a measurement but definitely more ice in trees and on powerlines then the previous 2 minor zr events. At least .1 as some pine and cedar tree limbs are sagging

 

[Deleted member 1449]

I just measured 1/8 on top of limbs, 1/16 on the bottom. If my math is correct that comes out to just under .1"

Headed for Va

Sleeting in DC ! ??

Ouch... I'd love to see a measurement up your way at some point, you're in a data sparse part of the state near the eastern edge of this thing.

With the early morning light I can see ice glazed over everything. It's pretty but with that wind it could get bad for the folks getting the heavier amounts.
