superjames1992 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm sure a bunch of people are going to be caught off guard by this who thought that it was just a Winter Weather Advisory, so it wouldn't be that bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well my girlfriend is coming down from Winston despite me telling her a safer bet would be to stay home.

beanskip Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It's an equal opportunity buster, too -- too low last week, too high this week. Just a tremendous bust on temps today from the NAM. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have a ZR/IP mixture up my way. Things are really looking ugly out there. I'm not used to seeing freezing rain actually cause problems on the roads, but with temperatures near 20, that changes things... I'm hoping we can switch back to more IP, but we'll see. When I was a kid in North Jersey we would sometimes put on our ice skates and skate around the neighborhood when an ice storm hit. You really can't drive in it.

That's the problem with using amounts as the criteria instead of potential impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sctvman Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Temps busted almost everywhere in the Carolinas. Charleston at 50, was supposed to be mid 50s. Only 41 in Georgetown, 39 in Myrtle Beach, 34 in Orangeburg, and north of I-20 it's stayed at or below 32 all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's the problem with using amounts as the criteria instead of potential impact. Based on radar trends and the SPC disco you would think RAH would look into upgrading from a WWA for most of its area, models are talking ,30-.40" ice and sleet that would be warning criteria just about anywhere I would think. Same for us here temps in the upper 20's DP in the mid to upper teens we are not going to get above 32 at this point and models call for .25-.40" of QPF that is significant amount of ice. Also with all the damaged trees and broken limbs still in trees from Irene it could get really nasty here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhowl Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Very light freezing rain in Asheville; temp has risen to 28 degrees at my house. Some of the ice is now melting on the black top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QC_Halo Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's the problem with using amounts as the criteria instead of potential impact.This is very true.Also, about driving on ice. Lets say you're some sort of IceDriving Ninja, which you most likely aren't....and I don't care if you have a Subaru. Just remember, the people hurtling down the other side of the highway probably don't possess your ninja skills set . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Left work early and it took 45 minutes to drive 10 miles home on Capital Blvd. Roads were not bad, just a lot of people doing the same I guess and had heavy traffic. Ready to see what round two brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Very light icing on metal surfaces and trees above 800 ft here. Just rain below that elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBreeze Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Check out this interactive wind speed/direction map that someone else had posted last night (Dacula?) You can click on it and zoom in and see how the winds are moving...look at the winds in the Triad and western NC... incredible!
