Mostly sleet now. 29 still

[wncsnow]

Wind blown sleet and zr pouring down 

[WNC_Fort]

Mostly freezing rain. Back and forth

[BooneWX]

My temp is now dropping steadily. What on earth lol. Wedge of all wedges. 

[BooneWX]

It’s a shame we couldn’t pull off some anafrontal snow with the upper level CAA kicking in.

So far unless something changes, it’s rain, but I’m assuming is freezing in contact.

[wncsnow]

Sleet still heavily mixed in with ZR. Up to 30. 

[strongwxnc]

Now sleet

[NorthHillsWx]

First steady precip since this morning and it is a mix of ZR and IP

[BooneWX]

Heaviest sleet I’ve ever seen. Some ZR mixed in.

Congrats, happy y’all are getting a good sleet storm 

[WNC_Fort]

All freezing rain. Wind. Can hear popping not good.

The line has arrived. All sleet! Heavy sleet!

[strongwxnc]

It’s a sleet apocalypse!!

[strongwxnc]

Even under light returns it’s still sleet.


.

[wncsnow]

32 but I think it's about done with. Very light 

[calculus1]

This is awesome! I shared a short video in the general obs thread. We are still at 24.6 with IP+. So cool!

[wncsnow]

Grass is almost covered with sleet. About as much sleet as there was snow last year. Wow

[WNC_Fort]

Calling it almost quits here (other than the continuing accrual of freezing rain). Stuck at 30.5 degrees right now. But ended up getting a little over 2.5 inches of sleet. 

[strongwxnc]

I’ve got probably 50-50 sleet freezing rain right now. Probably more freezing rain because I’ve got runoff of the house. I’ve got runoff at 28°. Trees are getting iced up

[USCG RS]

75/25 ZR/IP Respectively

[Ernest T Bass]

Pretty heavy sleet and 24.3

[BooneWX]

Up to 28 with moderate ZR
