Beautiful morning.


.

I love a goo snow covered Street picture!

[WiseWeather]

Im very interested in seeing if we can achieve thunder sleet or thunder freezing rain.

24.6/22 right now. Crazy cool for almost 1:30 in the afternoon.

[BooneWX]

Mesoscale disco up for our region. This afternoon should be interesting for those stuck in the 20s. @wncsnowmight avoid the worst. 

[WNC_Fort]

Where’s everybody at right now? I’m still stuck at 26. Would love to see if we could get some heavy sleet returns under that line. But, pass if it’s going to be freezing rain.

23.7

[wncsnow]

I actually went back down a little to 29.1 from 29.7.

[strongwxnc]

25.2 here. 

[wncsnow]

Tiny ice balls are floating around like mist still

[BooneWX]

Anyone in the 20s for this next line is in for some serious ice. Obs out of Tenn are not good.

[BooneWX]

This dry slot might be really bad for us ahead of what’s coming. When I don’t have precip, I keep losing ground on the temp. 

[WNC_Fort]

Boys. I might be cooked:  icicles forming on trees and power lines 

[Ernest T Bass]

23.6 and nothing much falling

Has steady precip moved in?

Nothing on radar but steady droplets. 

[wncsnow]

Pouring sleet again

[BooneWX]

I’ve had freezing drizzle for a while. Glaze ensuing and all of the previously loose sleet is now one giant frozen glacier. I’m not even making footprints anymore.

[strongwxnc]

925 are packed tight now. 

 

[wncsnow]

Gotten a lot darker here. Still 29

[calculus1]

25.2/22 here. Interested to see whether this is insane sleet or freezing rain...

[BooneWX]

Absolute fire hose coming. Let us know what’s falling here in a few min @WNC_Fort @wncsnow

Look at the sharpness on this CAD. Maybe sleet rather than ZR where those 925s are coldest?

[WiseWeather]

25/23… hopefully this is sleet and dot freezing rain

[wncsnow]

Waiting to see what it is

75% rain, 25% sleet. 26.5 degrees. Not heavy yet

Same here

[Ernest T Bass]

Looks more like a spring squall line on GSP radar than a winter storm.  But then again, nothing has been really normal with this one.

[Moonhowl]

I don't get much more snow than the foothills crew here in the tail end of the Swannanoa Valley but CAD is weaker and Buncombe Snow hole helped with the ice.  Rain has picked up here, sending sleet wishes or anything besides ZR wishes down the mountain.
