  1. Light snow in Eden despite the lack of returns on radar. Accumulating on elevated surfaces and turning the bare spots in the yard white. 31.8/31.2
  2. Seeing some mPING reports of mixed precipitation in Surry, Stokes, Yadkin, and Forsyth Counties.
  3. Reached a high today of 40.8 at 11:55am Currently 38.1/37.6 with light rain in Eden.
  4. Snow is winding down now. Measured between 2" and 2 1/2". 32.4/32.1
  5. It showed up on Radarscope and was picked up on my weather station here in Eden.
  6. 32.0/31.8 The road in front of the house is now covered.
  7. Rain/snow mix in Eden. 33.8/33.5 Had a wind gust of 43mph at 6:34am
  8. Unfortunately the Philippine government isn't allowing most foreign nationals into the country at this time. Even if Josh were to fall into one of the limited categories allowed entry, he would have to undergo a minimum 6-day quarantine which would have made it pretty much impossible to chase Typhoon Rai. There are also travel regulations on the local level that vary from one jurisdiction to the next that would have added to the difficulties of chasing.
  9. BWI: 22.5" DCA: 16.3" IAD: 21.1" RIC: 11.8" LYH 15.3"
  10. The NAM shows many in western NC, the NW Piedmont of NC. and up into Virginia having a chance of at least a light glaze early tomorrow before a changeover to rain.
  11. It doesn't do well in situations like today. For example, I have measured .59" with my Davis weather station, and only .06 with the tempest. The wind is probably off also due to the restricted air flow from ice, but I don't have anything to compare it to since my Davis station is frozen up. Rain measurements have always been off with my Tempest station. Often more than 50% compared to my Davis and simple manual tube type rain gauge that I use.
  12. Just a stones throw from your location outside the city limits I'm currently sitting at 32.4/32.4 with a light drizzle. I also measured .59" in the rain gauge. There's been a lot of melting taking place, but there's still plenty of ice around. The pictures below were taken less than 5 minutes ago. I think the wind may be gusting higher than the 4 to 6mph I reported earlier since the air flow to my Tempest station has about a 50% blockage. My Davis station hasn't shown any wind readings for hours for obvious reasons.
  13. Just reached the melting point at my location. 32.0/31.8
  14. The point and click forecast for my area still shows this: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Eden&state=NC&site=RNK&lat=36.5057&lon=-79.7422#.YC6d0-hKhPa
  15. Yeah, I was expecting winds in the 15 to 25mph range by now. I did have a gust of 6mph around 10am and currently the winds are gusting to around 3mph. Lol It's about as close as you can get to dead calm outside at the moment.
  16. I'm back to freezing rain with lighter radar returns overhead. Had enough sleet to make the roads slushy. I measured right around .20" ice accrual on elevated surfaces, so we're not too far away from meeting Winter storm criteria here.
  17. Mostly sleet now. Temperature continues to rise. Up to 31.3 now.
  18. This heavier band of precipitation that is moving through now has some sleet mixing just west of Eden.
  19. So far I have seen about .10" on elevated surfaces and the grass is crunchy when walked on. Roads have no issues. The temperature and dew point have been slowly rising since 6:15am when they were at 29.8/29.1. Currently 30.6/29.8
  20. Since my previous post my temperature has dropped to 29.8 which is already lower than the lowest temperature reached during the last event which was 30.2. The dew point is at 27.9, so there's still room for the temperature to drop lower. There's a light glaze on all elevated surfaces already. Radar is filling in quickly and looks good down stream for some significant precipitation amounts in this area by the time all is said and done. This will no doubt be a more severe ice storm than the last one for my area.
