yotaman Posted February 20, 2019 Very light rain and sleet here in Havelock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calculus1 Posted February 20, 2019 It's been a steady mix of wet snow and sleet for the past couple of hours. Temp down to 33.4 IMBY. This has gotten colder more quickly than anticipated.I've got a nice slushy accumulation on my back deck. The driveway is also beginning to accumulate the sleet pellets. Over performing, for sure, here in Hickory!Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BullCityWx Posted February 20, 2019 Sleeting pretty steady here, am wondering if we’ll see sleet which mixes with snow like what occurred downstream. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WSchew Posted February 20, 2019 Mostly snow west side of Winston, very few small rain drops, sleet has stopped. 34/31 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest T Bass Posted February 20, 2019 Sleet at the moment. Had some nice snow earlier - big flakes. Some whitening trying to happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSchew Posted February 20, 2019 And there it goes right back to mostly sleet. We seem to be near isothermal with these quick flip-flops, very rate dependent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullCityWx Posted February 20, 2019 I’d say a mix of all three here. A49F0981-8F32-4382-9FBB-124EA0745C7C.MP4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamelCityWx Posted February 20, 2019 massive wet flakes falling south of Winston Salem. sounds like sleet mixing in as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSchew Posted February 20, 2019 So I’m noticing that my temp is falling a couple degrees faster than most of the hi-res guidance, even accounting for the earlier onset of precip than what was shown. Even the NAM is a degree too warm. I’m wondering if that since the models are showing rain, but we’re actually seeing lots of frozen precip at the surface; that the models are slow to cool because they aren’t accounting for atmospheric heat being removed to melt the snow/sleet.

Plus you have to take into account that as frozen precip (snow/sleet) melts it takes heat from the air. It's the opposite of freezing rain which adds heat as it freezes.

It looks like I'm in the same band your in. If we can get that (the bright returns) to push south we would be in all snow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See that heavy/bright band running through Durham into north Wake County: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=RAX-N0C-1-24 You want to be just north of those returns (which represent sleet).
