That's definitely bad but it's a real improvement of what was being shown just 24 hrs prior.
I love the trends of less precip along the 85 corridor.
I have grown accustom to having power, heat, & hot water!
I hope that trend continues!

Multiple posts now coming in that triad is quickly trending towards the worst outcome to this storm. Triad has already flipped to freezing rain and I don’t know if we’ll ever flip back.

Freezing drizzle here in cumming Ga… light glaze of ice on my deck already

Shelby, NC showing nothing on radar, nothing visible to the eye, but everything has a glaze of ice, and you can feel the mist. I feel like a lot of people are going to be in for a surprise

Yep, mixed IP and sn here so that is a bit earlier than expected. Warm nose always wins. Let's see if we can keep the ZR out of here.

I am too for all of NC. The storm is just getting started in central NC

The good thing is, there is a lull behind this line passing through central nc so behind it there isn’t as much precip

Going to be a rough time in cumming, northern atlanta burbs. Dry here but as burrel has noted there is a ton of upglide precip over my head and temp has dropped to 31.8 rather suddenly.

I believe this is simply the NBM data and not a human forecast.
Isn’t this directly from NBM?

Just wanted to say….. this ain’t sleet. Not a pinger has been heard in about 20 min. I just be on some transition line but this is 100% snow for last 20 min. Sleet doesn’t float like this pixie dust is, and you can brush it and it’s dry and fluffy on top not like sleet…… Dusting Mooresville NC 11PM EST …..Hwy152/Linwood Rd

Freezing drizzle in Clayton even though radar show nothing

For the upstate; to this point there has been almost no precip to speak of, other than random drops or pellets, and this might be a great development for us. I am sure we will get a good bit still overnight and tomorrow but not getting this early round of infil zr has got to help on our overall totals. So far, precip has dried out past Athens or so. This is the most I have seen on radar all night and this is very light or not reaching the ground. The under on zr is our best bet to avoid a total mess. Really, almost the whole state of SC is dry. If this were snow I'd be so upset I'd be beside myself but this time it's probably a good thing.

A legit light freezing rain here now. The driveway is wet and the car is completely glazed over
Wow, I'm jealous! Agreed that looks like high-ratio snow, at least from the photos. That's the kind of small snowflakes that will actually fall in between the grass blades!

Radar doesn't tell the story. My car and grass is already glazed over without a radar return to speak of. There's a legit light rain right now, also.

Chances of zr filling in more towards Augusta throughout the evening? We're right on the southern edge of expected ZR between .10 and .25. Everything seems to be missing us to the north, but there does seem to be some rain from the coast throwing moisture back our way. Thoughts?

This is probably why you’re seeing snow

Ripping sleet here (Morganton) with nothing on radar.

You basically have secondary Bergeron processes happening there from hydrometeors freezing so fast into the low level cold nose that they shatter and recombine into snow flakes before reaching the ground

Well of course I can't speak for everywhere, just what has generally happened so far and what the radar shows. I walked out here about 30 minutes ago and it's not even wet at my place; I haven't gotten anything at all yet. Most people in the upstate with similar reports. Regardless, we haven't had the development this evening and that's probably a good thing for most.
I love you brother. But, isn’t there an “Outside the SE Thread”? I love your posts and myself don’t mind at all. However, A life safety event is occurring across the SE. Look … I’m of the opinion “If you don’t like it just scroll past” OH.. I also understand the upstream updates. Appreciate the updates Brent.

I turned it on after you said that and when they just showed it again, it doesn't show temps at freezing

Some people are canceling the storm (or 75% of the QPF). Others are worried about early ZR and others are expecting precip to start blossoming imminently.
Fair to say no one really has much of a clue still at this point?!

Started having drizzle about 10:45 here,
It's a steady drizzle now very light and being pushed sideways by the steady NE winds!
Temp in the mid 20's
So hopefully we miss the catastrophe that some models were showing.
Still bad just not a catastrophic.
