5 inches of snow and now at least 2 inches of sleet so far here in Sterling, VA. It is a true sleet bomb and still going. 

Loudoun County used to be the snow capital of NoVA

Greg Fishel's latest thoughts for the Triangle.

At this point, it's hard to imagine a way that we will have a crippling ice storm. The big surprise with this event is the lack of precipitation, especially in light of what even the ensembles were showing just a couple of days ago. There will be one more burst late this afternoon and this evening, and there will likely be some ice buildup on trees and power lines. But will it be enough to make the lights go out everywhere? I don't think so. Obviously I will watch this very carefully until the last drop falls late this evening, but for now, the worst case scenario appears to have passed us by. Stay tuned!

9 times out of 10 I find that ZR underperforms.

And many other mets disagree…. So we wait and keep our guards up. I don’t think anyone knows. It’ll be interesting.

Temp up to 19 at GSO, makes me nervous

Can we kick the Virginia folks out of our forum? JK just so jealous

The Chesapeake Bay is freezing

This is the mother of all dry slots

30 degrees now with heavy freezing rain in south Hall County, GA.

Things are going to get real bad here when the cold front arrives late tonight into the morning. I think we've just got barely above 32 with this heavy precip pushing the warm air down, but there's got to be at least 0.5 to 0.75 built up. I don't really know honestly, alreqdy had a tree almost fall on me during helene so I ain't about to go check. Can't imagine what it's gonna sound like when the winds get up to 30-40mph

Round 2 just started. Freezing rain mix. Southern Pines. 23 degrees.

It’s crazy that it was sleet near atl and athens and freezing rain here. That last batch added a fair amount of ice - fortunately no wind hardly at all

That’s not round 2, just leftover trash

The line appears to be moving much more slowly than modeled on the HRR.

Really is, I've heard from folks in Jackson County area that it's been nothing but sleet the whole time for the most part. I've seen nothing but freezing rain since like 6 this morning. And even last night it was mixed with ZR. I had between a Qtr to half an inch already by like 9-10AM.

Heavy sleet just started here and temp 25.

Same in athens per my sister. It’s hard to tell just how much here - maybe about .3? The tree limbs are really leaning over now

Hmm… I am thinking this is a sleet squall line for NC folks

I hope it will stay as sleet. I live 36 miles to the ne of athens, and i see weather app reporting freezing rain.

[marsman]

NWS at RDU says 21, personal station says 22 in SE Cary. The Wunderground local map is in the 21-23 range.... and whatever crackhead Apple uses on their phone and watch says 31F.

What is the time frame? Just wondering because this dry slot is lasting an eternity 

[SnowDawg]

I just desperately hope people prepared for the cold around here and got secondary heat sources. Already near 80% out of power and the wind ain't even really started yet.

If so we’re all gonna have to enjoy it bc that may never happen again

[audioguy3107]

It's about half freezing rain here now, still some sleet mixed in

[StantonParkHoya]

Would probably be inch-an-hour sleet rates which would be preposterous

[NEGA_Dawg]

Wind is picking up. I am watching our patio party lights swaying. So glad we didnt get any freezing rain last night. Limbs would be snapping at this point.

Sleet here in Greenville!
