October Odyssey

Some
Never seen thundersleet before, only if our warm noses were that cool around here
Somewhere in my parents house is a video my a Dad made of thunder sleet we had during the February 1996 Ice Storm in North Carolina. It was the most amazing thing to watch. It was truly a thunderstorm storm with a very heavy downpour, only it was ice pellets falling. It lasted over on hour and it piled up almost 2 inches. The temperature also dropped during that time from 31 to 22 and flash froze puddles in the yard from the freezing rain that had fallen all day.

I remember we had 2 ice storms in the mid 90s with thundersleet/freezing rain. Good times
 
Quite a LLJ as that TC interacts with that other system, but cape looks very very low if any on many models or just super shallow from poor lapse rates 0EDBA71A-75E0-4352-BE41-5E18231719DC.jpegA3D07BD4-5612-48E5-B9B7-7A03D1373FCE.png
