Still a sn/IP mix here. More IP though.

Holding on a lot longer than thought. Same here with over 1" in places maybe more.

Light pillars this morning. Never seen this before. .

Sleet is the dominant precipitation type at the moment, but freezing rain continues to also accumulate, especially in the SW NC mountains where ice totals likely exceed 0.25”. Peak power outage threat is expected between 2-6 PM with line of heavy freezing rain and gusty winds. https://x.com/nwsgsp/status/2015385015958257819?s=46 .

Heavy sleet over the last 20 minutes. Heaviest since I got up at 4AM. Got to be pushing 1" so far. Minimal FR so far.

I have a sleet snow diamond dust mix with tree glazing. If or when we switch to FR its not going to be good IMBY.

In the lighter returns more they snow sleet mix, and the heavier returns more sleet. About a half inch very slick. .

18/1 1/2" snow/sleet mix with gaze underneath. Everything is covered up.

1/2” snow sleet everything is covered . Still looks like dust is falling. Gaze underneath .

Sounds like a trace .

And just like that complete gaze over everything outside! .

Every echo that comes in so far has been snow like diamond dust. Currently under one now.

Diamond dust right now.

Returns are starting to be more SW then east. .
