NCSNOW Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Getting a heavy glaze on all the trees and power lines. 1/2 inch to 1 inch icecicles hanging off the power line as the freezing rain continues to pile on when heavier returns let up. Jburns is probably loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 A good trend on the radar, if you don't want a bunch of ice! It looks to have stopped its N movement and looks to be shunting ENE or E. looks like areas that are cold enough for ice and snow are just going to get fringed!

superjames1992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Nah i don't run that site superjames. btw it's been sleeting on my drive home here in cary. laying on the car a bit. will be interesting to see how low we go tonight I'm losing my mind, LOL. I'm not sure what I was thinking. BTW, no precip here of note for the last hour or so. If the HRRR is going to be correct, precip will begin to backbuild to the NW soon. We'll see. EDIT: Looks like there's a few snowflakes blowing around outside now, so maybe the next burst of precip will be snow. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crapper Jim Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 "Microflake." Been hearing this all day. Can somebody 'define' a microflake. LOL And... no, it's not somebody like me - in whatever fashion u choose to spin. Anyway... Boring as boring gets in my neck of the woods. 37-38 since dawn this morn. Drizzle to moderate rain all day.

featherwx Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Not much happening here in Hboro over the last hour-I'd imagine the fun is just about over around here unless some miracle backbuilding occurs. Other than that possibility the radar looks fairly anemic west of the triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 LOL! I've deleted most of those "friends". I really thought you were him. Anyways, thanks for all your good info. I found it easier instead of picking and choosing just to delete the whole thing. But I guess thats me. But YW. NC WX 10. Yeah its sleeting here at a good clip. The radar over your area and mine says nothing should be falling. But I noticed that light snow mixes in when the rates let up some. Heavy rates its sleet. Even though its not well defined flakes but more like single snow columns/grains. This storm is backwards.... First pic was taken early this morning and then now. Hard to say .25-.5" of sleet/snow. Not bad even though its taken about 8-10 hours to get this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I had zero accumulation or wintry weather of any significance at work. Drove 10 minutes north into the Viewmont area of Hickory and all the trees in my neighborhood are glistening with the ice accumulation. It's beautiful. My wife said that there was some significant sleet around noontime, enough to coat the deck and cause her to slip and fall trying to bring in fragile vegetation. Fortunately, only her pride was injured. Very light freezing rain is ongoing. The temperature is hovering at 31.5 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The precip back along the I-77 corridor is really coming together. It looked earlier that all of the additional precip would be light and spotty. It's looking much more organized right now back SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, it looks to be coming together as the HRRR progged to some degree with the building back in SW NC. I'm not sure the couple-hour lull we had here was depicted well, but in any case the sun is now setting, so if we can get SN/IP rather than ZR, we might be able to work on some accumulations (besides the ~1/4" IP we already have on the ground in the shaded areas with less than that in the non-shaded areas). Looks like it should start up here again anytime. Just hit 29 so temperatures are dropping off. I think our daytime high was 30 today (remarkable for mid-March), though we we were in the mid-30s at midnight. I wonder what the record low max is today?

calculus1 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Steady light freezing rain here in NE Hickory. There's a really nice coating over all elevated surfaces. I don't think there are any road issues currently, but I'm not venturing out to investigate either. Catawba County Schools have already gone with a three-hour delay for tomorrow morning. Temperature is 30.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
