33 and rain and hoping for something is the worst feeling. 

We're more hoping for NOT something... cold rain would be far better than ice.

 

So far I'm not seeing ice anywhere outside but there are still a few hours to go...

Fair enough, nobody wants to lose power.

I was one of the people who thought the model depiction of a squall line into the wedge looked kind of fishy- I may have to eat my words on this

[NGTim]

29.5/29.3 here in Dahlonega Ga which was supposed to be one of the hardest hit cities.  about a quarter to half inch of sleet on the ground, no ice in the trees.  Power still on.  So far have dodged a huge bullet, but probably not out of the woods yet.  

[Coach McGuirk]

I'm staying up until It gets above freezing.  Currently 28.3.

17.2/13.6 , Sleet

23693 York County, VA. 

[Coach McGuirk]

Some good looking freezing rain is coming in, I can't let the photo opportunity go to waste.

I am staying up as well. Been up 24 hours at least but the wedge is stubborn and more precip is headed this way. It is 24 degrees here with ZR and a little ip.

[strongwxnc]

Heavy sleet over the last 20 minutes. Heaviest since I got up at 4AM. 

Got to be pushing 1" so far. Minimal FR so far.  

[frazdaddy]

19/14 light fzr

[strongwxnc]

Sleet is the dominant precipitation type at the moment, but freezing rain continues to also accumulate, especially in the SW NC mountains where ice totals likely exceed 0.25”.

Peak power outage threat is expected between 2-6 PM with line of heavy freezing rain and gusty winds.

Damn it, I just checked the numbers.  29.2 is still below freezing. 

[Coach McGuirk]

Those blobs are coming for me. 

[WestCentrlVA]

Currently a sleet bomb out there. Been that way for a while. We had 1.5 inches of snow before bed on the board. Approximately 1.25 inch of sleet at this time. I hope we stay sleet for the remainder of this storm. Temp 12 Dp 8.

[Coach McGuirk]

I stepped outside with my cat.  Apparently, cats do not like sleet and freezing rain as much as me. 

[Upstate Tiger]

Snow and 24.  Looks like about an inch. 

[marsman]

21/18. Sleet/snow mix. 

[CentralNC]

17 degrees with a mix of sleet, pillars, needles, and snowdust here in Lewisville.

[Coach McGuirk]

29.7/28

[Coach McGuirk]

30.1 degrees, the radar is about to drench me in freezing rain. 

[letitsnow]

Sleet (which wasn't on any of the models for this area) saved us and probably a lot of Metro Atl early this morning, now the question is will the squall line turn into freezing rain later today NE of Atl.  Hopefully rates will be such there won't be much accretion.

 

Suwanee, GA  30024

[Regan]

Raleigh 18-19 degrees 

sure has been colder than predicted. Mets just said the moisture is building up where it was less and to expect heavier rates soon

[ADB83]

Moderate sleet in Walkertown. 14.4/11

[WestCentrlVA]

Stay home if you can. No bare pavement or plow trucks as far as the eye can see. I could barely walk my dog in the snow/sleet combo. I can say for the first time in 20 years of living here that route 40 has been covered for a longer period of time than usual. A nice mix of snow and sleet is falling now with 3 inches total so far.  First photo my driveway and the second and third are route 40 east and west. 

[Coach McGuirk]

30.4 and zr.  I keep my word. 

[NorthHillsWx]

Maybe 1/2” sleet. Very little ZR. Precip looks limited at best. RAH expects everyone to get above freezing in central NC and last batch and most remaining QPF to be all rain. Thinking ice storm cancel? NAM appears to have kicked butt. Roads are awful, sleet ice mix stuck to everything. It’s 21 so I’m not surprised 

[SUNYGRAD]

Just 5 miles SW of Winston Salem, had snow/sleet mix mainly overnight.  About 3/4 of inch and 16 degrees.

[suzook]

Currently 31.5 with freezing fog(is that a thing?) Temp is 31.5. Everything outside still wet though. No ice. On a good note, school is closed tomorrow, no work for me! Yay!
