I think you’re seeing a consolidation on models to a 30-32 (average) degree storm with 0.25-0.50 accrual. 

Once again I think ice accrual will be minimal here in the valley with up to. 25 on ridge tops and more above 3k along the escarpment

Well at least the Burke WX and others are upping totals along with GSP/Brad P and others. Still have fate.

That just come out from Burke WX/Foothills Weather Network there very close to what Brad P is saying of 0.30 to 0.50 from Marion,Moranton,Hickory and points North and East.

”This is my map, prior to the mid-morning model guidance arriving. I reserve the right to adjust if necessary later today. As usual, the area of highest uncertainty is at the fringes of the sub-freezing air, which unfortunately includes the CLT and RDU metros.

Those in the red-shaded area especially, be prepared for the potential of power outages. Once you start getting ice accumulations above 0.25", the power grid begins to experience failures.“

Thanks Matt.   Going to be a rough situation for a bunch of north carolinians.

Some bright sunshine here in the Triad for a few hours today may help the road situation tonight a bit.  But we are nearing the time for OBS with only a few model runs left.  Generators were flying off the shelves this morning at Lowes in GSO.  They sold 8 while I was standing there.  

Lets get this over with.  I'm ready for 50's and sunshine next week.

I was going to run over to Home Depot on Battleground for some new work gloves, but I’m not eager to fight the anxious mobs.  (My old ones will do.)  My neighbor had the foresight to schedule a major tree pruning and cutting this morning to avoid the worst.  I’ve been watching the crew cutting away.  I’m also waiting on my propane guy to come top my tank off.

The more prepared the people around you are, the easier it is for everyone.

Anyone have thoughts on whether the ice sinks in to Moore County. New here so still learning the climo. Thanks!

 

You will be fine down there. You need to be north of I 40 and west of Rt 1 to get Ice in this type of system. You may see some glaze but nothing to worry about
