  1. It looks like sleet saved a lot of people from a major ice event in the Piedmont.
  2. It is very hard to get a significant event here that is for sure. A 6 inch+ event happens probably a couple of times a decade at best.
  3. Yeah that makes sense. Somewhere around 0.2 to 0.25 across the city. Is melting out now. We came close to losing power here.
  4. Probably changing to plain rain now but this was Raleigh on a risky drone flight with wind gusts pushing it hard:
  5. ZR mostly with a little sleet mixed in here in Raleigh itself.
  6. They are upping projected winds in the NC Piedmont because of obs farther upstream. Maybe some 50 mph gusts later.
  7. The scene this morning lol. We will rebuild! #RaleighStrong
  8. I am not getting my hopes up until this gets closer after how the last couple of chances have gone LOL.
  9. All sleet now. We are following the typical Raleigh model. A few flakes at first and now all sleet. We will see a brief period of ZR then rain and 38 this afternoon.
  10. For those wondering, the ratio for sleet is about 4:1 I believe .
  11. Mostly sleet with a little snow mixed in the Banana Belt aka Raleigh
  12. You had to go to the VA border counties for that.
  13. December 2002 is a reasonable comparison although that ended up a blizzard where I was at the time in the NYC Metro. They won't see much this go around.
  14. I just officially checked out of this event. Not sure when there will be another chance if there is at all. The wait is always the hardest part after a brutal blow like this.
  15. NWS RAH seems to feel it will effectively be a non event for Raleigh itself. Around 0.1 inches and a inch or so of snow then rain. That seems the most reasonable as model output on ZR is almost always overdone. Enjoy the storm for those out west. Imma head out for now.
  16. Sleet typically endures longer than snow if there is a lot of it.
