34 with a wet bulb of 26. School delays beginning to roll in. Not sure how good a delay will be with temps below freezing till at least 10-11

Nothing like a good ole 3 hour delay! Had those here before 38/8 now. Clouds thinned a bit

If only the clouds could thin like my receding hair line we'd be in a world of trouble tonight! Surprisingly the GFS is actually doing better than the HRRR & 3km NAM w/ surface dews

36/7 ..... wet bulb 26.5 degrees. If we have enough precip, it's going to be fun in the morning. Roads are still cold in shady areas and they were not pre-treated

 

[NCSNOW]

RDU is 34/4. So wb is 24..
34-4=30
30÷3=10
34-10= 24
Isnt exact but thats the 1/3 rule.

 

[NCSNOW]

Charlotte Douglas is 40/8. Wb is 29.5-30

Same for Greenville SC airport . 40/8/29.5-30

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 256 PM EST Tue Jan 22 2019/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/...

On the backside of this system, cold temperatures will start to push
into the area bringing the potential for some wintry precipitation
early Thursday morning. At this point the moisture looks to push out
of the area very quickly, so the chances aren`t very high. The best
time frame to see a mix of rain and snow would be around midnight
through early Thursday morning. The best location looks to be far
northwest Georgia. Current totals are expected to be light with
little to no accumulations expected outside of far northwest
Georgia, where current totals are around a tenth or less of snow.

NAM is a bit further east on the front end with initial precip

 

[Cad Wedge NC]

Schools around here are on a 3 hour delay already.

3 hour delays are stupid. Hard on parents and when kids get there, it’s already lunch! Just close. If it’s 10:30 and temps are colder than forecast, there will still be icy spots! 38/6

 

[BirdManDoomW]

Snow and sleet now being discussed from the NWS. 24 over 2 around Stone Mountain State Park in Alleghany/Wilkes. 31 over 10 in my backyard.

 

[Snownut]

38/15 Wet bulb 27. That wont be good if we get much precip here in upstate

3k whiffed to the east? Waste of DP’s

 

[BirdManDoomW]

Blacksburg said a few minutes ago that the surface will trump actual air temps. Meaning east of the blue ridge it could be above freezing with freezing rain coming down.

 

[BirdManDoomW]

The 0z 3k NAM keeps the Stone Mountain Park area at or below freezing till Thursday.

 

[Cad Wedge NC]

Seeing some light radar returns just south of Asheville. Any ground truth?

 

[Tarheel1]

We’ve lost the RGEM!

 

[Tarheel1]

Warmed to 41! Not sure why I thought this would be different!?

If you squint, that little shard of pink makes it to Five Forks. Might go camp out in the Lowe’s Grocery parking lot tonight

2 hour delay! Nice.

33.5/25 with light precip

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Glaze of ice here, weather stations say 33-34 degrees, must be from these past cold days, hmmm

 

[NCSNOW]

Freezing drizzle causing lots of wrecks this morning. Saw on amx Hwy 16 had to be closed.

I hit about a mile of rain coming into work around county line, just starting a few hrs ago. So far at the airport nada.

 

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Another weather day for students here.

 

[BirdManDoomW]

Lots of wrecks and few road closures in Wilkes. Some power outages from cars hitting power poles.

 

[BirdManDoomW]

It started as sleet here didn’t see any snow.

 

[Webberweather53]

About how much ice accumulation did everyone see (at its peak) this morning? Stayed 33F and rain here

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Got a trace of ZR on my elevated porch, grill cover and car mirror

Thanks, that seems pretty consistent with nearby observations, it's nice to hear what everyone else got in their own backyards because marginal events like this often carry a huge underreporting bias.

 

[Webberweather53]

I'll have a map on this storm later today, looks like most areas along/west of I-85 got trace-0.1" of ice, a few near the Blue Ridge escarpment saw upwards of 0.2" of ice. Apparently this winter loves to produce ice storms at freewill in the western piedmont, this is at least the 4th such minor-moderate ice event of the season after having 2 in November and another earlier this month.
