24 degrees and moderate snow. 

Pretty nice temp gradient in just 80 miles between here and Blacksburg. Jives with the CC on RadarScope. Who said science isn’t cool.

34 officially at KGSO currently, but many of the weather stations on wundeground just north of Greensboro have gotten down to 32 degrees... The wetbulb temperature is at about 31, so we will see how the next few hours play out...

lmao...my thoughts exactly. hasn't even rained here at all.....37 on my way to my 33 degree rain.....exciting stuff. Getting close to freezing near cornelia, clayton, etc though and  down to 32 in demorest. Looks like temps have dropped below freezing at  andrews pickens and long creek, both are at 31. 

edit, cornelia has reached 32 now. 

 

Yes sitting at 31.8 lol

[Wow]

Same progression here. Spotty sleet earlier, now just rain.

Heavy rates are doing the job.

I grew up in Brown Summit

[GreensboroWx]

Few ice pellets and light rain right now...temp 32.4 with dew point in the 20s....9mi NW of GSO. I'm REALLY worried about quite a bit of ice accrual by tomorrow afternoon.

About the same in Danville.

[BornAgain13]

Freezing Rain Here. 32/29

[Upstate Tiger]

We’re in Asheville tonight just off I 26 on Brevard Road.  Currently 29 with rain, sleet and snow.  Had been going back and forth between sleet and rain for last couple of hours.  Noticing some accretion on the trees now. 

[WarmNose]

33 and I’m 100% sure the column is fully saturated. Pouring rain  

NEXT!

[norcarolinian]

31 now.  Dew point still 29.  In Freezing rain.  Car tops and trash cans glazed.  No bueno

[Disc]

Well, so much for the snow. Quick transition over to sleet and freezing rain. Sitting at 24.5 degrees. I'm in trouble.

Ha! Did I really write "web bulb"?

New update: 32.7/29 = 31.3 WB at 1029.2 mb. So,@Lookout was correct. My WB temp did get below freezing.

Light drizzle outside.

Yeah that’s gonna be a problem.

[Buddy1987]

Thought rates could overcome sneaky warm layer but when Disc is reporting 24 and sleet/zr mix not gonna be good. Down to 28/27 and can hear heavy pingers hitting the window. Radar is juiced but it could get nasty here overnight. 

[HurricaneTracker]

Sitting at 32.6° with a dew point of 31° here about 10 miles southwest of Asheville. Temperatures have been rising since 6pm. All rain here.

[calculus1]

Well, that was a quick transition from drizzle to solid sleet.  Deck is now slick with the ice pellets.

SW buncombe county is a horrible place to be for CAD. Seen reports of 29 just east of Asheville near Oteen.
