Back to all sleet. We may actually get to levels that Greenville achieved. Moderate. Temp up to 28.
Update 5pm: All ZR and fast development of icicles.

Heavy, heavy sleet. The line is intensifying into a QLCS. Can see some elevated supercells in the line in SC 
the back edge is just above here. This afternoon was all zr and no sleet! Fortunately power is still on - it’s hard to measure ice when it’s still falling lol. It looks to be about .4” or so. After seeing some of the damage in Mississippi from their inch of ice I am glad we missed all that damage.
R u kidding me? A QLCS with SLEET?! Add that to the list of things I've never seen before. This system has defied all physics

Heavier sleet now. Still has Not gone to ZR.
NWS had Roanoke as ZR for the day but has revised to a mix.

Switching to ZR rn
If this was snow I’d say it was ripping fatties but this is skeet so I’ll just say it’s heavy af

Well, apparently, I actually am not above freezing or am not above freezing enough, because I just took a look and there are some tiny icicles on the rooftop.
I am not in the mood to go look further outside, but if I am continuing to struggle like crazy to get above freezing...woof to my northeast.

NWS says .10 to .20 FR for triad. I’m not sure how that’s all the moisture we get with these bands coming through until 10pm

Can’t remember what office said it but they said we were stretching the bounds of what was atmospherically possible.

Guys this storm is as juiced as Barry Bonds. Could easily see another .15-.25” ZR in the triangle which will cause some real problems. Crazy to think essentially the entire eastern half of the country will be locked in their homes for the next 48 hours
I can see the daylight

Unfortunately that's just not the case. High winds are expected through tonight, and with how much FZR we recieved today. This will cause even more problems and likely widespread power outages all across the area.
Freezing rain mixing in with the sleet in NW Winston Salem. Seeing rain streaks on the deck door.

Me too... Finally crossing out of it. All too much too late, got around .65 to .75 of FZR across different areas. Worried about the winds tonight.

The heavy storm line seems to be raising the temps a couple of degrees, whenever it arrives.
imagine we'll still have a little bit of mist or drizzle linger for a bit tonight but the heaviest ZR is done. it did pick up quickly but not a ton on branches, maybe a tenth down here
last time I saw sleet this heavy was 40yrs ago living in Rockwell NC. This is amazing!
Winds have picked up and frz rain picking up as well
