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

31.5/30

 

[Logan Is An Idiot 02]

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

 

[WNC_Fort]

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. ------------- 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...

 

[DustinWx]

Salisbury 32

 

[DustinWx]

Ice on trees south of gso

 

[NCSNOW]

Close up of amount so far

 

[RBR71]

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"

 

[Tarheel1]

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.

 

[FallsLake]

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.

 

[SouthGarnerSleet]

Thunder, freezing rain in South Wake now. First signs of droopage now

 

[Tarheel1]

Del Rio TX getting hammered with snow right now

 

[PGAWx]

32.4/29.3 central Raleigh.

Took the dog out and no ice on surfaces yet.

 

[Rain Cold]

32.6 with a thunderstorm. Lol what a winter!

That seems to happen quite a bit during winter weather events.

Glad to have been in the minimum so far up here too. Nice glaze but things are not sagging too bad yet.

It's just amazing how far south the cold and snow can get in the Central US. Del Rio is further south than Jacksonville. Could you imagine Jacksonville, FL getting 6" ?

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Light glaze of ice on the trees here in concord, other then that no biggie

 

[Logan Is An Idiot 02]

Anyone else notice this on the 3K nam?

 

[Webberweather53]

Dropped to 34/32 here in Fayetteville, definitely verifying on the lower side of guidance temperature-wise atm

Seeing some blues on that line of moisture coming off Mtns.

 

[Tarheel1]

How can it snow in Del Rio Texas and not Tampa Bay? They are the same latitude? ?

How can hell freeze but not my rain

I blame the Gulf.

I would too haha unfortunately I'm on the way to work but could definitely see those small icicles hanging from limbs and one thing of note this time different than the last is I can actually see some ice accrual on power lines.

One is at 1,000ft in altitude inland. One is on the gulf coast. Really not a comparison at all.

 

[NCSNOW]

Tommorrow morning (24hrs out) Both Nam and RDPS have another Round of Freezing Rain. Fact RDPS it goes on for 12 hrs: Round 2

 

[SouthGarnerSleet]

Had a fair amount of sleet mixing with the heavy freezing rain in this thunder cell

 

[BIG FROSTY]

Mod. ZR from what looks like the last batch of rain rolling through. Per radar looks like it’s over in a few hours? Idk. 29.7/29 lgt ENE winds
