Still 31 here

 

[NCSNOW]

Sleet still ripping. Wind starting to roar up as well. Blowing horizontal now

 

[LukeBarrette]

Another 2 to 3 hours of snow before sleet line

 

[campamy]

Staying all snow for awhile now. Deck is white and the grass is turning white!

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Light accumulations again

About an 1" of snow/sleet here. Just a wee bit of freezing rain so far.

Temp is 30.2 and slowly creeping up

I guess we’re going to escape with minimal icing at this point given surface temps are creeping up close to freezing and the IP continues. Might changeover for a little bit, but no way we’re getting 0.2”+ like forecasted.

 

[Ward Cleaver]

Now that’s a pile of sleet. ?

Nashville FINALLY changed over just prior to 11:00 AM. It's been ripping since!

 

[nbellenburg]

Simpsonville has transitioned back to pretty much all snow with some very fat flakes mixed in. We were all sleet for about 4 hours. Very little ZR. Maybe a glaze at best. ZR forecast here was way overdone.

 

[J.C.]

Heaviest snow of the day so far, 32.2F/32.2

 

[NEGaweather]

About 7 inches in commerce and more to come!

We’re in premature birth phase of an icing event .. also probably 1.5 snow/sleet accumulation here in Apex NC after it’s compacted down to 1 inch

Wow! It’s straight pouring rocks outside. Super windy too.

One of my favorite parts of sleet is how it comes off the roof and makes those huge piles. Haha. I remember we got some 3’ piles of sleet back in a storm back in the early 2000s back in GSO where three sections of roof slanted down into a single crevice by the garage. Crazy stuff! Noticing a bit here now as well!

 

[Parker]

13 inches now. 20 inch drifts

 

[Oconeexman]

Measured on truck hood have 4' solid now and coming down steady

 

[VegasEagle]

Example of how crazy this system is

 

[Weatherlover92]

A quick pic from outside my bedroom window. It’s patchy and slushy like this on the grass/roofs. It’s tapering off again to a lighter snow.

 

[Snow_chaser]

It's happening right over my head at the moment

This is amazing, some of the heaviest rates of the event. Visibility dropping

I’m happy.
