Our temperatures in the upstate along 85 have hardly budged.  Looking at 42-43 with a DP in the upper 30's.  Been reports of light sleet and wet snow north into Inman and Landrum.  Banking on the HP doing its thing later this evening to really cool down the surface temps.  

interesting, I'm at 38.5/37 - temp very dependent on rates - 2 miles north of I-85 near DT Greenville - mixing occurs with higher precip rates - precip lightens and the temp can rise 1/2 degree and mixing stops

why are parts of the Charlotte metro in the mid-40's?

Just got back from Paris Mountain. Snow level at Paris Mountain is about 1400 feet.

that's interesting - I'm at 975 feet just south of DT Greenville - my temp is now the lowest since MN at 38.6/37

edit: precip rates really drive the temps here

38.8/37 rain with snow mixing

39.5/37 temp very slowly falling; light rain

Big temperature drop! 38.2 to 35.7 in just 15 minutes. 

that's impressive - thank you for the update

39.7/37 light rain with definite mixing with higher precip rates

slowing rising temp: 39.5/37

temps/DP's rising a bit

39.3/37, light rain

Chris Justus lives in the TR area (pretty sure) - maybe he has a bit of backyard bias

39.1/36, light rain

46.5/24 cloudy

yes, still sleeting in Greenville - but quite mild at 42

mod sleet and 42 here near DT Greenville

time for an obs thread?

I have a feeling someone is going to get legendary amounts of sleet.

bingo...and I live in the sleet capital of the US...never experienced so much sleet since I moved here...live near I85 which is normally the dividing line between liquid/frozen precip (in marginal CAD events)...this storm has potential...

32.6/31 - light rain

33.6/32 light to mod rain (if only a little colder...)

low of only 32.5 under a freeze warning overnight - I'm sure the outer suburbs/cities were 32 or below

near DT Greenville, Halloween forecast is 73/58 (30% chance of rain after midnight) - to me, this is perfect - should be in the mid-60's ToT time

several years ago (last year?), I had requests for bottled water instead of candy - never experienced such a warm/humid Halloween

Looks like winds have dropped off, already down to 45. Bet my forecast of 36 busts. First freeze tonight? 

down to 47.7 - predicting about 39 here

high of 58.2 today - forecasted low of 39 tonight with a frost advisory - I'm usually the last location to freeze in Upstate SC (with the exception of Oconee County)

low of 42.2 near DT Greenville, SC - brisk wind and feels like winter - less than 10 days ago, it was still summer here with high humidity

crazy rainfall rates here - approaching 4 inches storm total

Macon 95/67

ATL 92/70

CLT 91/67

GSP 91/67

RDU 90/ 68

AVL 86/62

Not bad for a cool crisp October day.

amazing! how many 90 degree days has Columbia experienced this summer/year? I can't imagine living in that furnace

the "half-backs" in Asheville/Western NC must be wondering if they still live in Florida LOL
