SnowenOutThere

Ultimately I'm glad I stayed down here for the storm. Though I am jelous of the people (including my family) who got 5 inches of snow and then 2 inches of sleet instead of 2 inches of snow and 3-4 inches of sleet. Also I look to get dryslotted for a bit but the convective sleet showers beforehand mean business.

UVA in the sleet! Will be a memorable storm.

Considering its still sleeting heavily way down here I think that you'll be okay. I will be slightly disappointed if I get no freezing rain to make the trees pretty so hopefully I get the switch soon.

Looking like I'll get dryslotted in the next hour after heavy sleet showers. Measured 5in of snow/sleet. Wonder if I'll get any freezing rain.

Anyone know where the freezing rain line is?

Doesn’t matter so much for sleet/freezing rain. As long as the 850 down to surface is sub freezing we prob don’t have enough warmth in the atmosphere to get ice.

Lmk your storm total. Interested to see how it compares to mine The SPC meso analysis shows our 850 temps well into the negatives still so we’re probably safe for a while.

Yep. Just saw sheets of sleet. Wonder when we’ll flip to freezing rain

It’s not. Really fun burst of sleet though!

If it makes anyone feel better UVA general public is currently experiencing the heartbreak that we’ve been drip feed for a week all at once. Lots of posts of how could this happen and where’s my 15 inches.

Measured 4 inches of frozen OTG. Just pounding sleet out right now. Roughly 2 inches of sleet already with a ton more precip to go.

You wanna talk about a debacle? Western NC is getting dryslotted while they were forecasted a world altering ice storm. Ofc it’s good for them that happened but gonna be some unhappy people.

Correction for me it was 2 inches of snow and over a dozen hours analyzing the setup. I think I’ll disappear after this storm for a long time.

Can confirm. Switched to sleet/snow in the past 5 minutes. Successfully stayed up for the sleet line.

Burst of huge dendrites in the past couple minutes, which means I’m just miles away from sleet. Measured 2.0 on the dot so I did beat out the NAM by .1. I’ll see you all on the other side.
