Cold Rain Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Rain here in SE Wake. It's amazing how often the winter precip cutoff runs right through Wake Co. It's just as amazing that we're still tracking winter storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seawolf14 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just went to 32* here in Holly Springs (SW Wake Co.). Funny thing is weather app on my phone (pulls data from wunderground) shows it never going below freezing tonight. Light rain now, maybe ZR? Should be interesting to see how this pans out here.

NC_WX10 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Light SN IP in my neck of the woods. Temperature at 27.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Getting a nice glaze developing here in NW Cary/Morrisville area. Trees are starting to get very shiny. We're def going to break that .1 zr threshold tonight. I'm wondering if we could go for .25 if our temps get down in the 29/30 range like the nam's been teasing the last few days.

gritsnc Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Wfmy news just put out a "warning" on Facebook. Said that bridges are iced over and there are so many accidents that emergency services can't handle them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Freezing rain. Trees, porch, cars, and even grass have a solid glaze with even some ice cycles. Temp at 29.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritsnc Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I just let the dogs out and things are really starting to glaze over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 A really nice glaze on trees and cars now. Saw the WFMY Facebook post too. I'm wondering how much more than the .1 of ice we were supposed to get now. Looks like a lot of precip still to come it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 the s/w over the gulf is really amplifying the gom/atlantic fetch. radar is looking pretty nice. http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/Imageanis.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think this is turning into a major storm. All we need is .25 of glaze to warrant a winter storm and I'm at least half way there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKY_WX Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 still got some pingers mixed in here. noticed some sleet frozen to the zr on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I'll take my flashlight to bed with me. Again! Looks like we changed over to sleet now. Moderate sleet. Thankfully...... Eh, there might be some ZR mixed in, though. The ZR mixed in caught me off-guard with the 3/6-3/7 ice storm. I thought we were just getting a lot of pingers for hours on end when there was apparently substantial ZR mixing in..... The NWS finally changed my point forecast from "Freezing Drizzle Likely" to "Wintry Mix". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Doing some basic radar observation, we're screwed in the triad. Lots of new moisture training across the area into temps already dropping thru the high 20's. This better flip to sleet quickly or those of us who had power last storm wont have it much longer. Already significant icing on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Freezing rain here as well. Nothing serious........yet. What are thoughts on road conditions in the morning? Slushy in the morning or mostly wet, except elevated surfaces of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritsnc Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Dang! Wxii just reported that police have shut down parts of 52 because of how slick the roads are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritsnc Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Scooter, I can't see where you are located on my phone but apparently roads are horrible here and not just the bridges. They're shutting down roads and power outages are being reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Randolph county is on 3 hour delay as of now. They'll call at 530 in the a.m. and cancel like always. Anyways ice is building up pretty good. Surface temps are a lot colder than last event, but not as much moisture and wind as of yet. Have noticed it creeping up slightly from a almost calm stage. Hear the ole trees making that crackling noise every little whisper of the wind. Everything is frozen ,steps, cars even high grass. The roads are still wet as of the moment. Looked like some melting flakes in the headlights coming home from town a few minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
