Bc there’s not much to report lol. We all woke up and saw feeezing rain and nothing else. I posted a cpl pics earlier of trees in my backyard. Sagging bad and a few transformers have blown and lights flickered.
With several more hours of
moderate precip rates expected, we have further nudged the ice
accretion forecast upward, with total amounts of up to .5 inch
possible from Greenville-Spartanburg to Charlotte metro by early
afternoon.
I said something similar a couple days ago on here that I’d take .10 ZR after snow, which isn’t uncommon. Enough to coat everything and looks awesome in the light but not really enough to be damaging. Stay safe down there and hopefully it doesn’t get much worse.
Glad you guys are cashing in up there! Looked so promising here but only snowed about an hour then went to sleet and freezing rain. Going to be borderline here of a lot of ice or not much of anything when it’s all done.
The other thing that I think helps us is the orientation of the CAD. Normally you see the classic NE orientation running from CLT up to RDU roughly. The 850’s and 925’s are oriented east to west this time covering most of NC. So even if there is warmer air being pushed in later, I assume it will take a lot more to erode that. Compared to when normally they just need to be eroded 10 or 15 miles west to break down the CAD here.
925’s continuing to fall. 850’s just had a pocket of -2 off to the NE form. Last time that happened was a -1 pocket which then quickly crashed S and SE.
