I wasn’t really expecting to get pelted by sleet my entire run this morning. I guess it’s better than rain or nothing? I should always assume it can sleet.

I mean if Boone can’t get snow to stick there’s not much hope for the rest of us.

Trees here in the Triad are maybe a little more shiny than they usually are in the rain. I wouldn’t say freezing rain but maybe sticky rain?

Blinding graupel storm was not in my lunch run forecast.

Oh yeah now the wedge over performs like crazy. It’s 39 here now.

Ended up with 1.75” here which was honestly more than I thought looking at it. Just under 10” for the season (counting sleet) without ever having 2” of actual snow at once.

Still mostly just rain here. Wasting some of our very limited precipitation.

It would make a lot more of a difference for them than us I think.

The play by play on that NAM was really something.

I really hate this hobby sometimes

I’m gonna feel some kind of a way if we go through this pattern without getting more than 2” of snow here for the first time since 2018 (that brick of sleet on my porch doesn’t count).

Well the first thump was better on the NAM but the 2nd one looks squished. Thus the mixed messages. It’s hard to put much stock into the NAM until it shows some consistency.

Umm the roads here have a 4-5” thick sheet of ice on them. 906 PM EST Sun Jan 16 2022 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM EST MONDAY... ...WINTER STORM WARNING IS CANCELLED... * WHAT...Accumulating snow and freezing rain has ended. Areas of black ice possible through early Monday morning. * WHERE...Portions of central North Carolina. * WHEN...Until 9 AM EST Monday.

I can’t believe how much sleet we have. It’s been pouring sleet for hours and hours. Hopefully we miss out on most of the ZR?

Some weird reports but I see no evidence of anything but sleet here in High Point right now.
