Scratch that about roads being fine in Greensboro. Yes, market street from Colfax to UNCG was fine, but I came back on Bryan Blvd, and the bridges out bear 68 had ice with about 6-8 vehicles off the road. Worse than I thought. TW
-
Now up to 21k in the triad.

Just drove from Colfax to UNCG area - roads are fine on Market St but bridges on Bryan BLVD at 68 were a mess. Trees have a nice glaze/crust but not as bad as I expected. The marginal 3- degree temp has helped. I think we may see more buildup if the precip stays light rather than mod/heavy. I checked Dukes website about 5:30 and 15k out of power in the Triad. TW

Been at 30.2 in Colfax foe awhile now. Freezing most places except roads. TW
-
So legit frozen falling in Oak Ridge? TW
-
We already have straight up freezing rain in Kernersville and Colfax. Heavy enough to keep the wipers on all the time rather than intermittent. So, perfect for accrual at the current 30 degrees. TW
-
Totally agree. On most all of our winter storms, there is a noticeable difference of some sort from NW to SE. I think it is even more in Wake due to the size of the county. Guilford isn't nearly as big. TW
-
I think it has more to do with Wake being such a large county. The WWA makes sense in the northwest part of the county, but not so much in the southern part. However, it is fairly uncommon to split a country for winter advisories and warnings. TW
-
RAH has issued 2 WSW’s this year and neither came close to verifying. I think they should this time but wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t. TW
-
I suspect we'll see ISW's going up over the next few hours. I guess RAH could make an argument for staying at an advisory, but that seems a bit of a stretch. Every model I've seen on the 12z or later runs are showing warning criteria zr in the triad. For fun, check out the new Euro at 144........ let the trend begin. TW
-
Just dropped to 30.9 here in Colfax. NAM has us bottoming out at 29 tomorrow morning. Will be interesting to see what NWS does about advisories/warnings for later tonight and tomorrow morning. TW

31.6 and light freezing rain in Colfax. Trees are getting coated. Still a nice covering of sleet on the deck. TW
-
31.6. My deck looks to be covered in sleet here in Colfax about 5 miles from GSO. Did anyone else in the triad get sleet? TW
-
Both 12km and 3 km at 18z have warning criteria ice over the triad by 10am tomorrow. TW
-
That's a right good amount of ice down into the triad. TW
-
Do you have any zr maps? TW
-
Solid thunder just now in Colfax. TW
-
Why are we not getting the true CAD wedge? For instance, the maps above show Durham more at risk than Mt Airy. Seems if a true CAD, Hickory to Mt Airy should be the heart of the freezing rain. TW
-
And wouldn't it be an ice storm warning rather than a WSW? TW
-
I thought it was .25, but I saw something recently saying it was .20 - could have been for another area west of the Apps thought. TW
-
For the triad, it was the iciest out of the last 6 runs for tomorrow morning. 12km has .21 and 3km has .23 at GSO. TW
-
Meso hp maybe? TW
-
I remember a devastating ice storm up in Wytheville back in the mid 90's or so. Every yard I drove past had some sort of tree damage. Probably at least an inch of ice or so. TW
-
Just keep in mind, we've seen alot of doomsday ice forecasts over the years that really just don't pan out - maybe due to sleet, maybe it's a bit warmer, maybe the precip is a bit lighter. Hopefully that's the case here. TW
-
This has been happening for 2 months. So I'd say it's very possible. TW
