So, what’s it looking like on the ground now?  Still around 5 inches total?  @avianman

Yeah, it packed down some with the sleet, but not that much.

I just thought the same thing! Feb 2, 1996 was the worst ice storm I remember in Catawba County. Trees popped all night long was without power for 8-9 days and temps got down near zero a day or 2 after the storm and had several inches of snow on the very end. That was the storm that had me hooked on winter weather. 

This was northern Catawba County Feb '96
