Heavy sleet. 27. 23 mph gust
This is near my sister's house in Florida. She read that the hot temps are related to this storm system:

Under very heavy returns you flip to intense sleet. If it lets up even a little it flips to ZR. 23/23

Just when the warm nose working in and our temps go up 32 we lose power
Sleet bomb currently. Minimal ice on limbs. Let’s see how fast that changes

33 degrees and freezing rain mixing in. The Wedge in NE GA is hanging tough even all the way over in East Cobb County.

Radar starting to fill in a little bit out in front of the main line. 21F and pixie dust still
Clemson went from 27 an hour to go to bouncing between 30-31 now when precip arrived

Georgia just crossed 100k without power. South Carolina crossed 20k. Spiking up fast.
I mean absolutely ripping sleet here. Please keep me under these returns

Yes I am aware of that, thank you. What I meant to say was temp is fluctuating back and forth between 32 and 33 so freezing rain and rain.
Radar and power outages. As the line is passing through western nc/sc (in the wedge) you can see all the power outages are jumping up quickly. https://outagemap.duke-energy.com/#/current-outages/ncsc

Confirmed tornado damage in Geneva AL.
dm your number I’ll send video
We're at 670' and that may be a factor in this event with how shallow the remaining cold is... closer the escarpment means more ZR even under equal returns along I-85
I took my dog's out about 30 mins ago it was a rain/sleet mix,
Just checked again and it was all sleet and sleeting moderately.
When heavy returns come in it switches to all or mostly sleet,
Even now!

Just heard a transformer blow and trees crashing down everywhere.

Other than about a 10 minute burst of extremely intense sleet it’s literally just a standard shower. It’s perfect for ice accretion

the rates lightened up and now i'm about 40/60 sleet/freezing rain. but that was freaking awesome while it lasted. That was probably the heaviest sleet i've ever seen. Temp has risen to 29...coldest temps in georgia have consistently been athens and eastward today. I'm a bit surprised it's not been colder in gainesville but the best i can tell is that there was a wind shift with the line of heavy precip and it brought in warmer air that was just to the north and west (along with warm rain). Indeed gainesville's winds shifted to the north. Winds here turned from the northeast and was gusting out of the northwest for quite a while...now it's calm.
