Ready to get hurt again

Deep deep cad. The models really underestimated this. We’re building a glacier but I’ll take a ground glacier over the alternative.

Tiny pellets so far here as well. I keep looking for dip-n-dots but the size is closer to nerds.

This next wave on radar is going to be interesting. Either going to be some crazy heavy sleet or a nasty base of zr getting laid down.

Mostly sleet so far but predominantly becoming ZR. Hopefully this isn’t the start of a long day. The pines have a nice glaze on them. .

Pleased that it’s still a sleet fest. We’re buying time.

.5” with slow rates is nightmare fuel

Diamond dust here as well! Fun to watch fall. Down to 19/15!!

Can’t believe it but I have sleet mixed with snow right now

Our Atlantic fire hose has now initiated north east of Jacksonville Beach .

I can confirm in the foothills that it’s not drizzle. Actual drops unfortunately.

Unfortunate to see it’s the HRRR verifying. Those totals were apocalyptic.

Well. 21/16, wet bulb of 19…. The sleet/Zr mix continues and I can officially say I have a glaze. Plants coated and the concrete has become a skating rink.

Told my wife that exact same thing. She doesn’t know what the hrrr is but I said “mega deathtron ice totals.”

I might be cooked. Sleet/ZR mix

Noticing that here as well. We’re getting moderate to heavy sleet but my dew has actually ticked down.

The wedge keeps wedging. Honestly that’s it. We need to keep it chilly for a few thousand ft.

Heavy sleet. 27

Snow sleet mix. 28/12

Since we’re on the conversation of power, keep in mind there’s two distinct outage waves in an ice event: 1. The event itself as totals get heavy for obvious reasons 2. Usually, the next part comes as you think you’re out of the woods. When the lines start shedding weight (I.e. if we get above freezing tomorrow night or Monday), that weight gets released and it causes them to bounce and snap back to form like rubber bands. When the lines bounce and contact each other, it’ll cause an outage then as well.

I mean I have seen already making it to the ground with a 30/13 reading. It shouldn’t be making it to the ground but it is. Doesn’t make me hopeful for drier results.

Flurries 30/13

I do hope yall are right though. I’ll be the first to cheer on 40s and no precip.
