Upstate Tiger

Now it’s serious. A triple dog dare. Josh committed a slight breach in etiquette by skipping the double dog dare and going straight for the throat.

Pretty memorable storm. If for no other reason than the vast size of the storm and the amazing CAD. I’ve followed winter storms in the SE for over 50 years and they are all unique. Fun tracking with you guys and gals! Now on to the next one. Have a feeling this winter still holds some surprises.

Is this for real?

Heavy sleet in Lincolnton as the line starts to move through.

Radar doesn’t look impressive but we’re getting the heaviest snow and sleet since really early this morning.

West Lincoln this morning. 18 degrees. Mostly sleet.

Next weekend’s potential storm is suppressed. As others have said, probably a good thing at this range. The crazy thing on the models long range is one clipper after another after another. We are going to see some frozen bodies of water that haven’t been frozen in decades.

Snow and 24. Looks like about an inch.

Snow and 21 in Lincolnton. Ground white.

This is some of the stoutest CAD I’ve ever observed. The source cold is insane.

Must have had a little bit of drizzle that coated my truck in the last hour. 24/14 here in West Lincoln.

I remember that happening in the upstate in the late 70s

GSP has issued an Ice Storm Warning for my area in Lincoln County (NC Piedmont).

06z GFS and Euro seemed honed in on the evolution of the storm with GFS still faster. Both show front end snow for NC and then the fun begins. Didn’t check thermals. Got to get to the hospital for storm prep. NAM…IDK what it’s doing.

Lots of below zero readings forecast for western NC.
