BooneWX Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Well. 21/16, wet bulb of 19…. The sleet/Zr mix continues and I can officially say I have a glaze. Plants coated and the concrete has become a skating rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Short range is still really dry until that main band moves through tomorrow. NAM, RAP, and even HRRR are generally under .50 until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we see more than freezing drizzle overnight at this point. Moisture goes poof as it hits the Smokies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I had anything falling, but I saw your post, so I went out to check. Same stuff is falling here. It's either diamond dust or diamond mist. Hard to say, but mist feels wrong at this temp. 18.3/15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I cant remember a "winter storm" where the first precip fell at 3 pm and at 10 pm there was less than .10 of anything. Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I think it really is diamond dust. All the road surfaces are completely white now, from the "snowfall", not from sleet accumulation and not like an ice glaze. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from a Jebwalk. 18 degrees with a NE wind and diamond dust in the face is fierce. Sleet began to pick back up as I returned to the house. It is kind of mesmerizing to just stand and listen to it. Unlike snow, which tends to fall so silently and puts a strange quiet over everything, sleet makes noise. You can hear when it increases in intensity and when it slacks back off. Winter weather is as fascinating as it is confounding to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Orientation of the precipitation on radar seems to be changing now. More SW to NE and less E to W. I think this will lead to the precipitation rates increasing for those of us east of the Apps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago My iPhone13 doesn't have the greatest camera, but you can faintly see the diamond dust in the streetlight.

Ernest T Bass Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Got the same micro flakes, mixed with sleet and probably freezing drizzle. It's really peppering down whether is shows on radar or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
