WilkesboroDude Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 What's your temp/dp? 39 over 28. We will probably go near 35 over 33 then drop very slowly from there with heavier rates by 6am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcarolinian Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 hey all ...just in from work ... sleeting here ... 41 over 24 ... some of these pellets look like rock salt lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalba Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Still heavy sleet going on here. Non-stop almost. 38.3F with a wetbulb of 33.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think this will definitely bust on the ZR side. No way we drop to 30. It was looking suspicious for measurable frozen already based on the partials. I am already seeing above freezing wet bulbs north of NC and critical thicknesses are well north as well.

BIG FROSTY Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 temp falling slow but dp rising fast. lol 42.8/25= wb 35.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVille Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Down to 39 here with heavier precip on the way. Definitely think this is gonna cause some problems in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 i agree with eyewall dont think this will pan out even in northern mtn areas... Boone has wet bulbed at 33.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 rn/ip mix 41.8 I think 35 will be about as low as it gets... So like eyewall ZR I think is out of the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 37 over 30. Light crunchy accumulations on the grass...porch...cars...etc. Dew-point will come above freezing for Wilkes/Surry but think my 6am it will be 32 or less as will be the temp. Boone and Jefferson now both down to 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the p-type nomogram alone was enough to say no way in terms of forecasts vs. past cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Dew point just went above freezing. 40º DP 33.5. Turn out the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Don't see how it could be busting...28 degree readings with heavy precip/thunder for several more hours in the northern mountains. The town of Boone showing 33 degrees at midnight proves nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yeah the p-type nomogram alone was enough to say no way in terms of forecasts vs. past cases. Believe it or not I got alot of SNOW mixed in now. 39.9/29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Believe it or not I got alot of SNOW mixed in now. 39.9/29 That is a rarity for sure in this setup! Must be an isothermal layer developing due to rates aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 That is a rarity for sure in this setup! Must be an isothermal layer developing due to rates aloft. A few big flakes probably 50% snow but it is rather light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Believe it or not I got alot of SNOW mixed in now. 39.9/29 Your not kidding. Went to check for myself after you said that...I can see under the street light snow mixing in with sleet here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Would post pics of my front yard but its dark...it is turning half way white it was just crunchy earlier. Turning white from mostly the sleet though as far as I can tell. This is why Wilkes County didn't announce the 2 hour delay. Bet they close tomorrow.

BIG FROSTY Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 mostly snow here, coming down pretty good too! 39.1 EDIT: pouring sn/ip now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Jefferson down to 32. I guess the point is pretty much moot...who needs to wetbulb to 32 if sleet/snow will fall anyway and accumulate. Still think it hits or hits below 32 between 3-7am to create some icy conditions on top of the accumulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 My eyes may be deceiving me, but it looks like some mostly-melted snowflakes are mixing in now. Can anyone else in the Triad confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
