An entire Army of them at "Walnut creek"

Duke has 18K workers from 27 states and Canada ready to go. The good news is they can pull from outside the Carolinas (IN/OH,FL) where they have territory where the winter storm is not slated to be as destructive to the grid.

Heavy snow now in Rocky Mount Virginia. Everything is covering up rather quickly primary roads included. Be safe everyone.

I’ve got my own storm INSIDE THE HOUSE. We had to bring my elderly mother in law and special needs sister in law to our home. And the special needs has huge fear of animals. I’ve heard screams a dozen times already.

Sleeting. Stupid autocorrect. 
RAH is only calling for a quarter to a half inch of freezing rain compared to the half inch plus WRAL is calling.

Who knows Brick? Hoping for that dry slot. Pipe dream for 1 inch of snow/sleet looking bad!!

At my folks house taking care of them on the south side of Rabun county (Wiley). Just crossed the freezing mark at the surface and steadily dropping. Only the brighter returns are making it to the ground for now, but unfortunately all liquid. Afraid this one is gonna be really rough here...

Wife moved the queen mattress to living room with gas fireplace, now prepared for the camp out. Eating gummies as needed for pain and sanity

Light snow in Gibsonville.

Good early evening from DFW.  

We have had mostly sleet.  Still maybe only an inch or but enough to not want to try going anywhere.  
 

NWS and the TX forum suggest heaviest is still yet to come.  
 

I hope you are all okay when it’s over.  
 

Check in again later.

Precip coming out of Alabama is starting to look lighter on radar. That squall line is gone.

That heavy qpf along the gulf coast is robbing the moisture up here. Happens every time.

Greg Fishel said in his latest update there is an 80% chance of a quarter inch of ice and only a 30% chance of half an inch or more. He said in no way will it be the worst ice storm we have ever had.

I think the precip around Montgomery and southwest Alabama is what hits north Georgia overnight.

yeah, it just doesn't look as solid as it did a few hour ago. IDK, just hope it all fizzles out.

what app is this?

[Snow dog]

Is it possible that the last squal line will be so heavy that it will at least limit theability of the freezing rain to accumulate?

It is possible, but many surfaces are already cold and depending how much snow/sleet you have, it could exacerbate the situation, some trees----like pines.

This is Amazing! File this away for future reference

Mesoscale Discussion 0059
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1157 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2026

   Areas affected...northeast Georgia...western South Carolina...and
   parts of western North Carolina

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   Valid 251757Z - 252200Z

   SUMMARY...Heavy freezing rain is expected between 19Z and 23Z this
   afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...Persistent cold air damming persists in the lee of the
   Appalachians and into northern Georgia. An expansive area of
   stratiform rain will overspread this cold air this afternoon and
   result in moderate to heavy freezing rain.

   Heavy precipitation rates will likely warm temperatures a few
   degrees which may limit freezing rain efficiency in areas that are
   currently 31-32F. However, where temperatures are currently in the
   20s, northeast of Atlanta and eastward, expect below freezing
   temperatures to persist within the wedge. Additionally, a meso-low,
   analyzed on the 17Z surface chart in east-central Alabama, will move
   east into central Georgia which will alleviate any chance for
   erosion of the cold wedge and perhaps reinforce the westerly flow
   across northern Georgia. 

   As a result, moderate to heavy precipitation with temperatures in
   the mid to upper 20s will result in significant ice accumulation
   between 19Z and 23Z from northeast Georgia into western South
   Carolina and into portions of southeast North Carolina. Given the
   expectation for relatively efficient ice accretion and QPF of 0.5 to
   0.7 inches, expect another 0.25" to 0.5" of ice accretion this
   afternoon and early evening.
