Power just flickered 6 times in 30 seconds. Nah man. NOPE.

Looks like a few hours break in the precip before the final round. Hopefully we can get above freezing by then.

Still sitting at 25 with light ZR. It can stop anytime now, please.

Forgive my lack of a ruler. LOL! Averaging .30-.35 across the yard. Pouring at the moment.

Up to 25 here. HRRR says Henderson County riding the wedge until the end. FFS.

Starting to add up a little too quickly here for my liking. Going back out to measure shortly. Especially with the precip still forming to the SW feeding right into the area.

Heavy ZR here again. Still at 24.

Just went up to 24 here. LETS GO!!!

Moderate to heavy ZR just moved in again. Temp still hanging at 23.

Just measured limbs at the hours in the yard. About an average of .20in ZR. Sitting at 23/22.

Brutal:

Looks like we'll get a break to mist/zr from 11AM-1PM or so before the bulk of the precip moves in. That cold down here and along the escarpment doesn't look to retreat until the last 30 minutes or so and then switch to rain. Going to head out soon and see what I've got on the branches. They are drooping.

Up to 23 here now. ZR has lightened up but that's better for accumulation. Might have dodged a bullet here! Not sure yet. That cold air does not want to get out down here.

22/19 here. Heavy ZR.

Patiently awaiting the "storm busts" posts when this is absolutely we want to bust.

Man... outside lanterns, shrubs,... are already glazed. I did not expect it this early.

All ZR here now. And steady. Exactly what I did not want. 28/10.

Moderate sleet here now. 28/10.

Spitting sleet here with barely anything showing on radar.

You can feel that CAD breeze coming down here.

28/8 here now.

Was hoping for a burst of now but sleet it is here now.
