Looks like around 5 inches here. If the rates had been better this would have been historic here no doubt

What’s the timing on that kidney bean now? Still 5pm?

Nah, should hit Greenville around 2:30. It’s sped up. Hrrr says we’re 24 when it hits

Future cast looks nasty

Just went outside I see we are sleeting like crazy. How long can it last though?

It’ll last a while based on the sleet reports in Georgia. IMO

The NWS lowered forecast ice accrual amounts to .38 inches earlier this morning from the .46 they had at the beginning of the storm. That is still enough to cause trouble but it is a step in the right direction to lessen the likelihood of power outages. The dry dewpoints near the surface have been hard to overcome and have lessened the QPF from this storm.

Probably a while still all sleet here in commerce.

Concord is still that fine pixie dust snowing stuff with sleet mixing in from time to time.

@Jimmy Hypocracy is this good?

 

[Mitch West]

With the look on radar, the upstate of SC into the Piedmont of NC is about to get multiple inches of sleet. Some areas still reporting some snow.

If it was snow yes. Very good. The best, even

 

[Corey Ford]

How long can we expect the sub-freezing 925 to stay in place in the Upstate and NC Piedmont?

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

@rburrel2 you think it’s about to be heavy sleet?

 

[rburrel2]

@rburrel2 you think it’s about to be heavy sleet?

Yes, heaviest yet. Mega sleet. Will prob be some liquid mixed in with the heaviest stuff bc the water droplets are bigger and have a tougher time freezing though. We will see!

But still no signs of liquid mixing in here yet.

 

[Stevo24]

I feel pretty confident that most of us can breathe for a little while on the power outages. Idk what this afternoon holds though. Gotta keep an eye out for the trees. If they start sagging and getting shiny I’ll fire up the fireplace.

925 nose starting to break down on mesoanalysis, let’s see how she holds up

I don’t think I can spike the football just yet, but my sleet accumulation forecast is looking pretty good right now, haha

Tighten up for sure over the last 4 hours based on the SPC page.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen winter precip at 21 degrees here. In fact, I’m not sure I ever have in the last 30 years.

We’ve done 23/24 several times, but not 21.

I'm 55 and can't remember seeing any precip at 23 deg in Oconee. Fzr starting to mix back into sleet in Southern oconee
