    If anyone is still below freezing north of the triangle precip is building to our southwest again

    Every winter day, I question why I still keep up with this hobby It has been 804 days since we have had a snowfall where I could shovel snow from my driveway

    Well, models were ALL trending towards significant icing, RAH and Blacksburg were sounding the alarm, multiple model suites were putting out ludicrous ice totals, and the major globals were all in agreement of a major CAD area ice storm.... INSIDE 48 hours. Literally how do you forecast weather this year when everything trends towards agreement essentially to game time, then drops it 12 hours before the event. Models all warmed starting at 12z yesterday but warning were already out. I mean how do you work with that? Hot 850’s, anomalously hot, did this in, imo, as did a precip hole over the main cad region

    I knew it was a serious risk yet I did it anyway... sigh. At least I busted up an ice storm and not a snow event

    Someone on the MA board said it perfectly: it only snows when it’s above freezing now
  6. NorthHillsWx
    That should put me firmly above 75” of digital snow from the GFS this season. Solid win for sure

    I will say, at least we busted with an ice storm. Some in the Mid Atlantic were expecting 5-8+ from this and got nothing but a coating of sleet and glaze. This forum would be in an absolute meltdown
  8. NorthHillsWx
    My trees are still ice coated at the top but the melt line has risen about halfway up. Interesting to watch
  9. NorthHillsWx
    HRRR is the most aggressive but to your point that would be significant icing if true
  10. NorthHillsWx
    It was a major threat! Haha. Inches of digital ice

    Back to hr 200 winter storms

    For what it’s worth, models for the most part trended yesterday to what actually happened. Yea, they wayyyy overdid it in days leading up but it’s not like those extreme ice totals held up before go time
  13. NorthHillsWx
    Yea, this is going to end up as a major bust for the warning areas. Some may reach 0.25 but nowhere near the 0.50+” predicted

    Still some icing in trees but looks like it’s above the ground. Temp up to 32.2 from a low of 31.4
  15. NorthHillsWx
    Definitely is. We’ve been just far enough East to catch this broken band all morning. I’m well over a half inch qpf since midnight. Obviously our temps are borderline here but we probably have 0.10 glaze now imby. I’d think wake forest/rolesvilla/Louisburg would have a pretty thick coating if we’re getting it just north of Raleigh. Our temps are rising now so we’re probably about done

    https://postimg.cc/WD9bxr1L Starting to get some sagginess to the trees here.

    Yep. Upstream shows that mid levels were indeed even warmer than expected. However, temps at the surface have not been the issue. If anything, we (Raleigh) are running a bit below what the models had for us. We’ve been fluctuating between 31.4-31.6 here for a while and have a solid glaze. I think if more precip was involved this would have verified. Funny we were all worried about temps busting but looks like it was precip

    I have an office job with Duke energy and only occasionally get called in for storm duty, but I’ve been on call since 5pm yesterday and know we brought crews up from Florida for this event. Over preparation beats being surprised, but yea, could be a lot of wasted man hours and time on this one
  19. NorthHillsWx
    Looking like a significant forecast bust for the triad. I’m not seeing the moisture that was supposed to be there. Good for people who like power
  20. NorthHillsWx
    Actually colder here than I thought we’d get. We’ve dropped to 31.4 with light freezing rain and a pretty good glaze now
  21. NorthHillsWx
    Might not be temps that save the triad, but a complete lack of qpf
  22. NorthHillsWx
    Nice glaze forming now. Temp has dropped and rates have lightened so we’re getting better accumulation. Not expecting much but it is pretty
  23. NorthHillsWx
    We have a light glaze on everything elevated now that I can see. Temp 31.7 DP 30.9
  24. NorthHillsWx
    We have dipped to freezing here as I wake up. Actually sounds like some sleet banging on the window. 31.9/31. Not sure if there’s a glaze yet or not
  25. NorthHillsWx
    NE wind has really picked up. Stepped outside for dinner and it had that “storms a coming” feel to it
