NCSNOW Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Odd. Nothing here off of HWY 49 in Asheboro. Same back over this way. Looks like Gadison AL and points west have stayed all frozen (prob sleet) for quite a while. Atleast since Ive been monitoring the precip type radar I use for the past couple of hours. Its fairly accurate so Im betting their is some decent accum out that way beyond the dustings everyone else to their east has reported this evening.

calculus1 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hck_Wx, any precip falling over your way? I'm in extreme SE Caldwell County and I've still got nada. Temp: 36.8 DP: 23 Temp seems to be really stalling out, too. I know that I've got a long way that I could drop since the DP is so low, but it just doesn't seem to want to move.

Rankin5150 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Down to 35 degrees wtih a WB of 32.7. Appears to be light rain now. We did get a dusting here and some of our side roads had a slush in places. Wondering if another heavy band will come through later and eek out some snow for a little bit?

triadwx Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have been upgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory. Still nothing falling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I got home a while back and we had about .25" of sleet and slush on the deck. Everything is glazed pretty good. The trees are real pretty in the street lights and I could see some ice on the powerlines. I measured .25" in the bucket so far and it was 31.6 degrees.

chapelhillwx Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 A nice band of precip is slowwwwwwwlllllyyyyy making its way north. Very, very, very, very, slowly. It's been pounding the southern half of Chatham for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just might end up with a 1/2" of ice? Just throwing that out there. I can see your obs under your name and you are sitting at 31 deg. What elevation is your location?

Solak Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffff Really didn't expect anything this early, but I'll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Im probably at around 925 feet. It looks to be wrapping up soon. Ill take it. Its weird to see the NW part of GA getting ice instead of normal CAD areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Use this radar. You can see the heavy precip really advancing north. Also notice on it how places in north GA around Rome are getting frozen colored echoes that previously had switched over to rain. Im thinking any elevations above 1500 feet in North GA/SC and espeacilly sw NC mtns can have a 3-5 hour window to coat the ground if the precip can hurry up and get back in here strong, which I beleive it will over these areas by 1:00 am . Just my 2 cents http://hp3.wright-weather.com/cgi-bin2/loopradar.cgi?type=mosaic%2FNC_mosaic-&type2=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Just frozen slush here. Haven't checked to see how much or if there is any on the power lines. 33oF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I just put the dog out and did one last check. Stil 31.6 with light zr. Theres not a ton of ice but some of the bushes are agging a bit. There is definately more ice than the December storm. I just wish it would hang around until daylight so I could get some pictures.

superjames1992 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 It's been sleeting on-and-off here since about 9:30 PM with no accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazaroo Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 you sure? ramseur is not very big and i havent seen squat. Of course I'm sure. It sleeted for over an hour at my house just north of 64.

Up to 32F. We did alright with 3/4 inch of snow and about 1/4 of sleet but this stuff was wet which accounted for the huge flakes. There is a good glaze but it's melting. Nice little event though. A few years ago, this would have been the highlight of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 When walking back from the library at UNC Asheville I saw sleet coming down. I think liquid precipitation was also included. No accumulation yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
