Freezing Rain, Sleet, Snow, Rain...Kitchen Sink (12/15-16)

[Oconeexman]

Nothing beats a hot woodstove cranking the fresh smell of a frasier fir and a few flakes beats the majority of 2020 I've enjoyed tracking fellas no matter the outcome.

Thats good stuff! Gonna stay on flurries watch till the real moisture gets here...wife says I'm an idiot! We've had reports all over the county of blowing snow and flurries and hardly anybody is under 40deg...crazy

My wife just called me a crackhead haha. We've been together for 13 years...HELLO??!! EVERYTHING ELSE STOPS WHEN WINTRY PRECIP BEGINS!! Plus I have a degree in Meteorology and it still doesn't sink in for her. I think she's jealous because her passion is exercising and that sucks.

 

[LukeBarrette]

Goodnight yall, happy sleet hunting!

May be the funniest thing I've heard all day! Been with mine 21 years and she knows when its gonna be a long night...wintry weather only!

Gotta think if those TN and KY lows weren't there we might have something.

Got a little sprinkling of rain. That’s it. Y’all North Carolina boys reel it in. Make Jimbo proud.

One of the funniest posts I have seen here. Yeah. Back to weather, dew points are falling up here and headed your way NC.

32/26 in Hillsborough. Seems set to at least start as a glaze here, though models have had me right on the edge for a while.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Hmmm I wonder if the foothills/areas near the escarpment could have more IP then thought

Fingers crossed I hate ice I always lose power....

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Thunder IP ? Steep lapse rates on top of the inversion with buttloads of lift

 

[Nomanslandva]

OK, maybe it is worse than this but is this not close enough for snow? I mean, the warm nose on the HRRRRRRRRRR is just slightly above freezing up here. Sleet at worst but hoping for crusty flakes.

 

[smast16]

We got pingers!

 

[SETNwx]

'buttloads of lift' is the most quotable phrase of the day..

[BIG FROSTY]

Verbatim, that looks like a borderline wet snow sounding to me, but realistically always bet the over on the warm nose and expect the worst.

 

[superjames1992]

Just noticed pinging on the windows and, sure enough, it’s sleeting here in SW Durham.

EDIT: Seems to be an IP/RN mix, actually (assuming it’s not below freezing, which KRDU wasn’t at last hour, at least).

 

[HDGator]

First Post.
Light sleet in Lewisville.
First NC winter weather in new home after moving up from South Florida 3 months ago.
This is a lot more fun than tracking tropical weather.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

IP sure loves us

Best flizzard of the night now
