Wow I'm on my way to work and I take back roads with a lot of trees. They look so cool Every single one is glazed over.

All 3 events I have gotten colder than the guidance showed but it was basically the difference between 35 degree rain and 32 degree rain. So they didn’t really do “well” they just got lucky there wasn’t just a bit more cold push down on the southern end of the CAD.

We've had just light drizzle the past hour but it appears as if we managed to accrue another 1/32 on the tops of the limbs during that time.

This is the only time I'll be happy with a dry slot!
Dry slot ftw, and I'm being serious too!

.72 so far, probably a good thing the mid 20s on some of those icon runs didn't verify. Lowest I've gotten to is 32.2

Nothing in my part of Chatham.
Where's the NE winds that was supposed to be gusting 20-25 mph? Winds are calm to at times light here and still ENE instead of a NNE That makes a difference right there not going to hold freezing or below with a east wind. I suspect I'll go above freezing pretty soon, temp has been slowly rising this morning.
Doubt these images are going to help much. Did get the wife to take the one of a small maple in our backyard, you can kinda make out the ice but she wouldn't venture outside for the pic ??
edit: deleted 2nd pic, it was from inside a moving vehicle and was much more blurrier than I thought lol

Here's this morning's 12z sounding out of Greensboro. Classic freezing rain sounding here with near-surface cold layer that's about 2,800 feet thick, peaking ~-4°C and a very strong and deep warm nose aloft that's nearly 9,000 feet deep! The peak intensity of the warm nose was +9.4°C measured around 840mb, basically right in line w/ the 3km NAM forecast. It's not the strongest warm nose we've seen at GSO in a freezing rain event but it's darn close, tied for 3rd strongest in terms of peak intensity, and this warm nose was the 2nd deepest of the now 66 KGSO ZR soundings I've analyzed since 1976. Oth, this warm nose did extend above 650mb, that would make it the tallest one.
