bigdog_10_2002 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Heavy sleet in Albemarle. Really hope we only see sleet from here on out. The Frzrn put down a pretty good glaze earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rankin5150 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow...whomever the person that stated "A Sleet bomb is headed to CLT" was TOTALLY ON POINT! Great observation my friend! We are receiving HEAVY Sleet and snow is even mixing in well. We have a 1/2" on the ground and from the looks of the radar, we still have a LOT left. THANK GOD for more ip and less zr. Hoping we see a BONAFIDE SNOWSTORM soon with NO MIXING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yea getting some very fine super small dendrites mixing in here but not amounting to much. Ground and streets are now coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sleet stopped. All freezing rain with trees coming down and catching fire. Half inch of ice reported two counties west of me. Oh no man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyClearweather Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Still mostly sleet here, with some freezing rain mixed in just south of 85. Temp is at 29.1. Hopefully the end of the precip beats the warm air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QC_Halo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Downstream, you've got heavy sleet.Moderate sleet in Elizabeth/Plaza Midwood....Roads are now turning white. The rain that was having trouble freezing on the road due to traffic, is now appearing to conglomerate into a treacherous, soon to be an almost impassable mess due to the sleet. Hopefully it continues in lieu of more rain...please! Me likes me power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Trees are heavy still and cracking. www.daculaweather.com showing 31.5 and the rain is still falling. Just stepped out on the porch to listen to the cracking with the wind. how windy is it? no breeze at all here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotwx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 18/14 sleet. 3.5 -4 snow . Radar looks like the transfer is happening of the SC Ga coast . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yea getting some very fine super small dendrites mixing in here but not amounting to much. Ground and streets are now coated. Yeah I've noticed that too standing under the flood lights. Wasn't sure if it was mist or super fine snow. I prob have about 1" of sleet now with the bottom 1/4 being solid ice from the fzrn earlier. Temp still 27.1°. Can't imagine getting lower than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulls should be ZR which will make a nice ice sandwich. No work in CLT tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy3107 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Oh no man! It's gotten pretty rough around here. Still Mod. Frz rain. Went outside....looks like no one in the entire area of our county has power. Pitch dark except for transformers blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGA WINTER Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 A tree or branch is falling every eight seconds here. Tomorrow it's gonna look like a hurricane came through. And I wish i was exaggerating. Gonna be some good bonfire wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme NEGA Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Oh no man! I just walked outside and I don't know how many limbs I heard fall. There's live lines down in the county and I think I'm about to lose power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherguysc Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pure sleet storm now south of gaffney we finally switched from freezing rain and probably have 1/2-3/4" of sleet maybe more on top of maybe a 1/4" of freezing rain. The temp is down to 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNCCmetgrad Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Frz Rain/ Sleet has been all sleet now for a little over an hour. Temperature has fallen from 27 to 24 with the ground becoming covered One of the more impressive CAD events I can remember. It looks like the southern foothills and piedmont have mostly dodged another significant ice storm. Ice accrual looks to be about 0.1 to 0.15in.

UpstateSCBud Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Definitely more freezing rain now in Mauldin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 totally rate driven here when it slacks up its all ZR but when it picks up it goes to anywhere from 50-80% IP and the roads are now gone totally iced over in the neighborhood.....

No snow for you Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 29.8 and 100% freezing rain. Big glaze and it may turn ugly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 18/14 sleet. 3.5 -4 snow . Radar looks like the transfer is happening of the SC Ga coast . Yes, just south of Wilmington. Area has some -3 pressure falls now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaffneyPeach Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 At least an inch of sleet and 24. I think the changeover to sleet saved us a lot of trouble. Yep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBreeze Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 100% sleet here, 10 miles south of Winston-Salem NC. Starting to look like snow on the ground with solid ice underneath. Moderate sleet now, looking forward to the heavy stuff !!!! Edit: 20 degrees, calm wind, just loud sleet falling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWY316wx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 how windy is it? no breeze at all here lol I had the kids come listen and we would wait for everytime the wind blew. When that front pushes through... have mercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Still mostly sleet here, with some freezing rain mixed in just south of 85. Temp is at 29.1. Hopefully the end of the precip beats the warm air. Temp just shot up 1 degree in five minutes, only got an hour or two left of precip. Might be a situation where when the precip stops, and temps rise over night, doing a good bit of melting!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yes, just south of Wilmington. Area has some -3 pressure falls now. might be why my winds have gone back NE which is a good thing keeps that cold air coming in for everyone......

Pitch dark except for transformers blowing. sounds like mby may have lucked out on losing trees. they are really bent and i have heard a few but no loud bangs or larger trees or limbs. other than lights flickering and resetting everything still have power too! I had the kids come listen and we would wait for everytime the wind blew. When that front pushes through... have mercy. wow - maybe that will stay away from here lol i am thinking that the period of heavy sleet may have saved mby from what yall are seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Boy I did not expect the CAD to perform this well. I knew it would perform a little better than model expectations, but this is amazing, given the lack of a strong parent high in the NE. Still moderate sleet here. I'd say we're over a half inch now. That stuff is not so easy to walk on, surprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
