jburns Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Biggest flakes of the day, easily. You haven't been in the banter thread have you. Sleeting to almost zero effect. 25º Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I can't figure it out. According to the SPC page, both 850s and 925s are below freezing here, well below. Why is it still sleeting rather than snowing with these really heavy rates? There must be a relatively shallow warm nose somewhere in the column. Probably quite high up so the melted snow can refreeze into solid IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, I assume, had the same snow that I did today. This is the driest, fluffiest snow I've ever seen in a borderline deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 really more sleet than anything ... not sure I've ever seen sleet fall in waves like this with the wind .// pretty awesome Looks like the 0C 850 mb line is just north of the county. Hope it continues to move south (and there are no other stealth warm layers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hardest/biggest sleet I've ever experienced right now. It sounds like people are throwing rocks at my window. Pretty sure I just heard thunder as well. Still salty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree. It was impossible to use for snowballs or snowmen. The sleet made it be able to stick together a little bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My parents in Pisgah Forest NC near Transylvania/Henderson county line measured about 10" before the sleet hit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Zero precip in Apex currently. Which I greatly prefer to freezing rain. Winds absolutely howling at times, though. Hoping the trees hang tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Just started pouring sleet again. Slamming the windows. Radar looks to be filling in south of GSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Radar seems to be filling in, possibly back building right over the Charlotte area. I know I went from light returns to darker greens and yellows over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 We had to pack down the large hill to get a good sled going. But it was a good sledding time afterwards!
