Regan Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Who knows. I’ve been watching what Allan has been posting this morning and replying to other about concerning this and he said it may stay freezing til after heavy precip is out of here in Raleigh.

AppalachianWedge Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This storm is very curious, it's like there are two separate storms one after another. If I remember correctly, this is how it was originally modeled. Two waves strung out back to back. Later models suggested phasing. Not sure if that happened or not. Someone more knowledgeable would need to answer that.Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro XL using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgain13 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Still getting sleet up this way. Temp is 14.1. Can anyone confirm where the sleet/freezing rain line is? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I have no idea how it’s possible but the sleet is actually mixing with snow now 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense says how? With this front coming West to east directly over us, freezing rain is inevitable right? Right? Right? I hope not, but right? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Funny how this went from 10+” of snow to a crippling ice storm to what in all likelihood looks like 1” of sleet with a glaze aka just a travel stopper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNYGRAD Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just a testament of how strong the damning event was and is. We don't always get this scenario in Carolinas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Our snow totals went to Cincinnati. They appear to be headed for 16". That's a huge storm for them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Only 2.5 inches of snow/sleet so far. Pouring sleet right now. Currently 14 so hopefully I'll miss the worse of the freezing rain. As a person from Western New York this storm is a snooze lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNYGRAD Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I hope I hear thunder with frontal band today, so I can get really excited for the next storm and the snow within 10 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Deep deep cad. The models really underestimated this. We’re building a glacier but I’ll take a ground glacier over the alternative. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a half inch of rain Friday. Then another half last night through this morning, with another half inch to inch this afternoon. Been a dreary 3 days here. On a good note, its all been rain, NO ICE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 31 and light freezing rain here. Branches and car are coated. Maybe .10 at the most. Temp was supposed to be up in the 40's right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDawg Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Stayed wintry mix over night mostly, but has been off and on heavy freezing rain with drizzle in between this morning. Adding up fast as are the power outages. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, but right? haha Here is my thinking, and I could be totally wrong. This high pressure is very strong. It slowed the moisture a lot. So much so that it has given the pacific moisture time to catch up with the gulf moisture. If you look to the west, the precip looks heavier. The flip side, the CAD came in stronger….and it has set it. This afternoon is going to be a doozie, IMO. Heavy freezing precip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it’s not gonna be pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ~0.7 miles from North Hills and haven't seen a single flake all morning, all sleet/zr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This afternoon will be a disaster for many with that front coming through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWY316wx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Much like you boys up in the Carolinas, mainly sleet here overnight. Some ZR but more sleet than anything, hardly any ice on limbs or leaves. Still have power. I am incredibly curious how the CAD holds here in NE GA as the LPS pulls north and tries to pull the warm air north. HRRR and NAM 3k have backed off ZR amounts. I don't remember a CAD event keeping temps below freezing without moisture falling through the air, but I know it's strong. I am also interested to see if we get thunder ZR as the front pushes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up north you can see how places are colder than expected as well and the snow in the DC to Boston corridor is beginning as nothing and then SN+ with some places close to visibility below 1,000 feet nearly immediately upon the commencement of snow beginning. This means the precip is running into a literal wall, or a high pressure system that is unduly strong. It's acting almost as an SWFE. Now, if that was the only storm/batch of moisture, I would breathe a sigh of relief. But it's not, and this storm is still ramping up. So you'll have a storm getting it's act together with heavier precip and strong WAA with an uncharacteristically strong HP filtering in a strong CAD situation. It's still a set up for a significant ice storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
