Best sleet storm ever?

Most likely for me.

It was super cold during the AM until the band came in at 3:30ish.

The super cold air was great just wish we had a better set up.

But still got power here. That was a big fear.

Onto the next one. Cheers

Love having this long row of pines across from the house… honestly this storm was moreish than what i expected… its funny watching the plow truck come by and them not doing anything to the road while scraping. Should be a hard freeze tonight… if you want some entertainment… go to skisugar.com and look how warm it is right now…. Its dropped 3 degrees in the 15 minutes ive been watching.

I may have to move commentary over here for the most part these next few days. I don’t want to come across as an ass to folks down east because I’m rooting for an incredibly amped, 30 miles inland low that cuts off at the 500mb level and goes negative tilt around Mississippi. Time to eat. Enough eastern NC appetizers through the years.

Wild event. Old Fort and most of McDowell county is a glacier. You make it to Black Mountain and you wouldn’t even know there was a storm

Its going to be fun trying to shovel my driveway

Good luck. My fat ass didn’t even make footprints this morning. It’s that solid :D

I'm sure my luck will be similar. Since I work in Asheville, they will expect me there tomorrow. They got nothing basically.

After review, you were absolutely correct. Weathernext had a sizeable tick west at 6z. I’ll be curious to see if 18z holds the trend. We want at least one more tick before it locks in tomorrow and never budges again.

I made it up to exactly 32.0 F at 10:53 AM, but I have since begun to fall backwards in temperature, which is incredibly odd for this time of day. Now back down to 31.4 F. Regardless, the sun is doing its work on the minimal ice on the trees, and I am sure it is sublimating some of the ice on the ground, but these two inches of sleet may have substantial staying power.

Just noticed the same here. Got up to almost 35 but down to 32.9
