Any room in here?

Seems the western half of the Triangle has cashed in on a few events recently. Charlotte unfortunately remains a battle-line.

Maybe I shouldn't have moved lol

Just dont move to south charlotte/union county.  Even when charlotte cashes in, we get nothing.  Basically always below the snow line...atleast we have been for the 6 years ive lived here

Non-event here in stallings.  All the snow that fell last night has melted or washed away and its been nothing but a cold rain ever since.  No ice, thank God

Wow, my temp has gone up 4 degrees since it stopped snowing...was 33, now showing 37.  And ice is an issue? Lol, yea right

I am in Mooresville and there is no way we get to that 7-10 inches. It was snowing and is now flipping between snow and sleet. We will be lucky to get 2 or 3 unless something changes in a hurry. 

Theyll continue pushing those high amounts north and west as the night goes on id bet

Rain mixing with snow in stallings

Still snowing in stallings but the flakes are smaller and deformed so definitely some melting occuring aloft.  Also with the temp still being 34 at ground level, what is hitting the ground isnt exactly sticking around very well.

Still snowing in stallings, but i can definitely hear stuff hitting the house and ground thats harder than snowflakes

Brad P just posted a video and said he may have underdone his prediction for metro charlotte...says he thinks 4" might be about right after melting.  Said it started earlier and coming down harder than expected

Snow only in stallings now.  Hope it keeps this up overnight

Really wet flakes mixing with the rain in stallings.  Got a little bit of white on my grill cover...prolly a mix of snow and sleet piled up

And a nice hard rain

I dont see us flipping here in waxhaw. Expecting rain all night

Same here in stallings/indian trail.  Ive been through the, "itll change over and youll get some snow" rodeo before...and it doesnt happen.

important point.  Temperatures get above freezing around lunch time tomorrow and never go below freezing Sunday night.  Lots of melting to be had.  Monday morning may not be all that bad on the roads.  Tuesday morning could be worse with refreeze.

If thats true, then why is he expecting so much ice throughout the day tomorrow?

You positive?  Not to sound like a jerk.  My back table is getting a coat of sleet as well. 

Haha. Yeah. Ive got a coat of sleet as well...nary a snowflake though. Had my back window open and lights on since 7. You can hear some sleet mix with the rain...but there aint no snow

First of all. Dang Fish. He upped the totals. 2nd we have a lake house in Denton NC on High Rock. I can see little tiny flakes fly by here and there in the security cam. Not bugs. 

Lol, wral is so weird man...you never know what to expect from them

So funny, brad P has 2-4 inches for north charlotte and fish is going with 6-10...

Sounds about right since in a straight line I’m probably not more than a mile away.  As we all know every mile counts in this area.

It’s also changed quickly.  I posted wind changes which correlate well to increase in sleet.  Was a lot of rain and sleet and some wet snow.  Almost no rain now, maybe none and just wet snowflakes.  This is 2-3 hours ahead of when HRRR and others showed the mixing line reaching here so I’m looking forward to what’s to come. 

Im literally 45 seconds from where you posted you are and its nothing but a hard rain...

ahh you can't be more than 5 miles ne of me

Same here.  Howdy neighbors!

You in Stallings?  

Yea. Not sure what its doing now as i havent been outside in 2 hrs.  But it was mixed sleet and rain when i got in around 530

Brad p's final call map inched the snow amounts back north a little after he brought them south a little last night.  Jas the entirety of mecklenburg county in 2-4 range when last night he had charlotte metro almost in the 4-8 range

So weird, was out and about in Southpark all afternoon, and saw no sleet. Don’t even think we have that now. Went outside to check the smoker and sounded a little ‘pingy’ But didn’t really see any sleet.

Im right off of monroe rd. Just south of matthews. Went out for dinner around 530 and it was prolly 50/50 sleet and rain all the way up to sardis rd north

Looks like northern union county might end up with just cold rain. Happens every time.

Lets hope so.  Anything but zr

Yes, I meant Jan 2017.  Sorry.

Pretty much every tv met missed that one.  I was in the 8+ inch zone within hrs of the event and ended up with rain and some flurries.

Just now, WinstonSalemArlington said:

also, Fishel and WRAL seem to often speak as if their entire audience lives in Wake County and Raleigh. The microclimates of Chapel Hill, Durham, and Person County often are a total different world during winter events.

Im from person county...trust me...the people there know to add a couple inches atleast to whatever wral calls for.

Just now, Regan said:

Still saying 1-3. Even with NWS saying 4-6. 

I mean...hes a 30+ year met.  I dont think just because NWS puts out their call that it affects his thoughts that much.

I'm really trying not to have a complete meltdown at the moment. Only GSP's forecast for the metro area and points north is keeping me from throwing in the towel. I don't even know why I get emotionally invested at this point. Hoping for winter weather in CLT is like cheering for the Browns. Although, actually, the Browns are showing some promise this year.

Haha, ive lived in the CLT area for 8 years now.  There hasnt been one storm where there wasnt a world of speculation about what was going to happen just hours before it happened.  There have also been more storms that busted than actually produced.  Its just this area...you are always going to be riding the line.  Always
