Getting light drizzle I can see in the streetlights despite no radar returns overhead in Lancaster. Can't tell any icing yet because it's too early to go outside.

How it started here in N York County a couple hrs ago- we have had only 20 min of precip outside of the micro flakes, but it was enough to coat the driveway and road....everything aticks at 19 degrees 

[Coach McGuirk]

26.6 and freezing drizzle. I don't get to say that very often.

Yessir- def a plus...seems like the higher up you are, the better the potential outcome once the wedge starts eroding- but I could def see wind being an issue up your direction bc of the gradient and the cold front later today

 

I have a big 9000A Black Max that I normally use at my construction sites here jic

Looks like Upstate SC might be lucking out so far with sleet instead of freezing rain.

It looks to be filling in (finally) just to the W-SW of me- looking like mostly IP and SN- on the returns...19 here

Seeing 16-17F temps just to my north across the NC state line....the cold air in the wedge is unreal

Woke up and looked out the window - heavy sleet mixed with ZR and tiny flakes. It’s 23. It’s pouring 

[Coach McGuirk]

Yep, about an inch and a half.

My dad owned a wood stove store.  I still don't get it.

1/2" snow/sleet mix with gaze underneath. 

Everything is covered up.

That will stick around for the foreseeable future with the cold over the next 7-10 days- the packed IP in your pic will take forever to melt

[WinstonSalemArlington]

Frigid 

[Coach McGuirk]

I know it's going to be cold. I see a few feelers out there.  This thing ain't over until it's 32 degrees.

Your DP is still super low relative to ours just S of CLT- this is a weird storm- we have been at 95% RH/19F for hours with very little precip- it keeps getting eaten up

 

Seems the precip had no such problem out your direction, even with the dry air...figure orographic lifting may have played a role?

[BornAgain13]

Mixture of pixie dust and sleet continue here...

I will say. I hope everyone is ok in the circle lol

[StantonParkHoya]

Somehow we changed back to snow/IP all night. Not a ton of ZR so far. North Raleigh

[Blacksburg Coach]

Dog got me up, figured I'd check in.

 

9.3F

Sleet

[Coach McGuirk]

Haha- that's a new one- this storm has a little bit of everything 

[strongwxnc]

In the lighter returns more they snow sleet mix, and the heavier returns more sleet. About a half inch very slick.

Temp and dew point have been steady since midnight here in s charlotte. Very light pixie dust mixing in with frozen precipitation here. Not on radar. We've basically been in the dry slot up to this point with minimal precipitation.

At least you won't have to deal with the power outages.

I am just south of you <1 mile from the NC line- getting the first sustained returns all night- all IP and tiny flakes

NWS hasn't shifted our ice totals down yet unfortunately. I think tomorrow once the cold erodes a bit, we are gonna end up with significant ice once the main line rolls through. But ill still take this.

[suzook]

Rain and 33 here. Ooof. Temp keeps dropping. Supposed to start going up though at 7am....close call here in senoia ga.
