30 here after the big band came through. 80% ZR with some acculturation. It rained so hard though it was running down the street into drainage areas.

Now up to 0.25” in 20 minutes. You couldn’t draw ask for better rates for maximum accrual
Fully flipped to ZR here. 26/24

I honestly thought those heavy rates at 29/30 would mostly just wash off, but it actually added an insane amount of ice over a 20 minute period here.

getting sleet rn
not a lick of zr here
temp hasn't moved as much as i'd like, kinda ridiculously heavy ZR. not looking like a ton of runoff either.
Hopefully we can hang on to sleet for the duration. Nothing falling in Concord but should be anytime now.

Heavy sleet here just west of Charlotte

Looks to be a mix but mainly ZR. Trees are now getting a coat on them, but there is runoff as well. Hoping the runoff continues.

Yeah my tempest jumped to 30 pretty quickly but is somewhat holding that.

The only place I’ve seen run off is on the roof. Other than that, none
I believe speaking as an upstate S.C. resident, we had a deeper layer of cold air which has really helped bringing down our freezing rain accumulations right now.

The sky is darkening up, literally like right before a summer storm.
Slow motion, video of heavy sleet.

it's starting to pile up now...it's about that perfect rate to freeze. Temp here is 30.0 even. Picked up at least an inch or so of sleet since last night.

Still 80-20 Sleet-ZR mix here. Temp still only 26. Not warming that fast.
Looks like we're already up to 29-30, but that seems to be where a lot of the western upstate settled. let's see
Can confirm. Heavy sleet in Fort Mill, SC (Charlotte). I'm assuming it's rate dependent.

And the sleet is getting heavier, just like others are noting

And still acruing unfortunately
29.5 in Rutherford County. That band brought up the temp for sure.

34 and wet as a car wash parking lot here in Clayton. Though precipitation has ceased I estimate approximately .25 - .35 inches of ice on limbs and lines. Praying the below freezing temps hold off as long as possible tonight.
it is building up quickly here

Charlotte NC Southpark area, began heavy sleet at approximately 4:40 pm, a relief thus far, no freezing rain.

It crept up a couple of degrees around Columbia before the big band, but whatever falls is staying. Let's go.
