    Good luck - we’re flirting with 32 here but I think power loss is a foregone conclusion given the frequency of interruption at this point. Fingers crossed we torch just enough before the worst winds move in.
  2. Blue Ridge
    Temp creeping up to 31 during lulls. Otherwise steady state with moderate ZR. Not a hint of sleet for some time.
  3. Blue Ridge
    Flipped to all ZR and it’s adding up fast. Gusting 20-25. Just had the first power flicker of the day.
  4. Blue Ridge
    Same thing in Southern Wake. Window rattling sleet. edit to add: Wind picking up with gusts to 25 MPH. I’m glad this has been an IP show thus far.

    If you’re looking at a “precip depiction” view, toss it. Those are flawed algorithms and rarely get basic rain/snow changeover correct, much less a mixed bag of WTF like we have this AM.
  6. Blue Ridge
    Nearly identical scene down here, albeit with somehow less sleet.
  7. Blue Ridge
    80/20 ZR/IP just south of Downtown Holly Springs

    Came back to check on y’all because misery loves company. And because the NAM clowns spat out a fair amount of ZR across East TN. Can’t even visit family at home to escape the ice for this one!

    Anxious to see a breakdown of what this run actually shows. The surface presentation is an unholy cluster-**** mess.

    I’m happy to have a red tag validate a feeling I’ve long had but never really expressed. (In my day, hating the NAM was cool - but then the hipsters co-opted the movement.) Is there an explanation for its strange precip outputs?
  11. Blue Ridge
    With Duke electric, a generator is a good idea regardless of forecast! (Am I a true North Carolinian yet?)
  12. Blue Ridge
    And likely snow to a lot of ice for Central NC, given surface temps.
  13. Blue Ridge
    Surface temps in the Triangle aren’t going above freezing for some time with that look.

    I finally move to the area only to find Widre has gone missing. Fml

    Nice little reverse jinx. Good looking out, MRX! I do find it peculiar to drop the WWA in areas that have already seen snow. Criteria is so low, I would imagine leaving in place would be beneficial to cover potential road hazards at minimum.

    45°F on the nose with steady light rain. Perfect fall day.
  17. Blue Ridge
    Wound up with 5.5" total for the event. Still plenty on the ground today. We'll see if we overshoot forecasted lows tonight.

    Yo [mention]Stovepipe [/mention], I’m seeing a lot of chatter on r/Knoxville about power outages. What’s up? Surely that happened during gusty winds earlier and isn’t directly related to snowfall? .

    Someone earlier was asking about potential interaction between mesoscale showers and synoptic band. This loop from Jackson, KY, shows that interaction pretty well, I think. https://i.imgur.com/ygQwq30.gifv

    Closing in on 5” here. Lighter band now, but much smaller flakes. .
  21. Blue Ridge
    Classic MRX now-casting woes. .
  22. Blue Ridge
    Just switched to nickel-size flakes. Timed out almost perfectly with CC transition line on radar.
  23. Blue Ridge
    Chasing down the 45+ DBZ returns overhead. Unreal.
  24. Blue Ridge
    Arctic front has arrived. Worst wind of the whole event just mixed down. I just watched a rocking chair take a ride across my patio. Edit: check out the waves visible in the velocity product!
  25. Blue Ridge
    Damn near SSE at it’s current trajectory.
