The run from roughly 99 through 15 had many years with multiple events. It does happen

My feed is flooded with this sentiment

Mine is too, but could they really have done any better? Outside of the model output that was posted without context.

 

[LukeBarrette]

I work from 12 to 8 today. As soon as I hop on, "Hey Luke, write a severe story for us and have it in asap". Like bro its 14 degrees and sleeting outside and there will still be severe storms?!?!?

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

So who’s got the 3/4 to 1” apocalypse glaze??
Or did sleet pleasantly suprise most people?

Idc what anybody says. This ain’t sleet. It’s high ratio freezing rain that froze 100ft above the wood line. It’s granulated pixie dust

 

[BullCityWx]

In NC, we missed out on our 1 chance we get each winter. Maybe next winter we will finally see a snow over 3 or 4 inches again. It has been a wild experience.

You’ve been wrong the entire time so why stop now

 

[JimBobs]

Can I ask a stupid question? If I go light my Solo Stove outside and keep it going strong, could it help even a little bit to prevent my backyard trees from accruing ice when the strong line moves thru?

That seems akin to pissing in the wind to me, especially with the wind gusts. Any warmth is going to be dispersed so quickly to not really have any effect.

There’s a lot of ignorant people and that won’t ever change of course.

It was a tick SE from prior run

70's and 80's as well

 

[Heelyes]

Remember a few weeks ago when people were saying we only had a small window to score because February was spring

 

[CamWX]

This kind of irresponsible ---- pisses me off. She's been at it all day. I wonder if she's even a real met.

I remember folks canceling winter during the Christmas heater, not going to lie though, I thought it was too very bleak for a few days there

It’s running cover for the initial missed forecast.

She’s the worst. Has been super defensive all day on social media as well. She will blame the models for being wrong as if she isn’t suppose to be FORECASTING. Anybody can post a model output

She needs to at least cut her #s in half imho. Does she mean ZR as opposed to actual ice accretion?

She’s referencing the Freezing Rain QPF.

She’s referencing the Freezing Rain QPF.

And that is irresponsible when presented without context

With the heading “Ice Expected Today”.

 

[JP152]

Parts of Virginia are going to end up with 4 inches or more of sleet on top of their 6 inches of snow. Unreal. I guess that's one way to get to double digits.

 

[Snowflowxxl]

She’s referencing the Freezing Rain QPF.

The general public has no idea what that is

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

Interesting, the meso low situation might explain why temps didn’t rise rapidly here once that band of heavy rain moved through 30 mins ago. The airport went from 34 to 36 and it held steady at 33 in NW Atlanta where I am. The winds also shifted from the SE to the NW now. I am concerned about flash freezing. I don’t know if these NW winds will be able to evaporate rainfall off the roadways/sidewalks in time before temps drop to and below freezing again later this evening.

It's not supposed to get below 32 until around Midnight in Atlanta. That should allow for plenty of time for the winds to help dry the roads.

Curious to know where you’re pulling the “supposed to” from? And what temp they have for us now?

Just looking at the Hourly Weather Graph on the National Weather Service website.

Gotcha. Yeah so they think we’ll warm up a tad to 37 from the current 33 (which seems about right from my local station), and then start cooling again to get back to 31 by around 2am. Wonder if that’ll verify and whether they originally even thought we’d be at 33 right now in the first place.

Might snow after halftime of the AFC champ game

[SnowmasterATL]

Well, I survived Fern! 37 and rain at the airport. Hopefully, I can get to 40 and really start to melt the ice.

Have a ton of bamboo trees beside my house. Let’s see how these look a few hours from now that will tell the tale.

I feel like I'm going to be 100 years old when this band gets here

いただきます！

Lmao. I’m sitting here through this disgusting event thinking about how we finally broke the streak on suppression only for next weekend to be suppressed so much that I have to endure watching eastern effing NC get their 10,000 storm in 3 years.

I hope so. If not, I’ll crash out and hope that eastern nc never sees a day below 110 this summer. And the mosquitos are the size of trucks.

Chapel Hill and Duke both have cancelled class for tomorrow. It could affect the Louisville game at Cameron tomorrow.
