RevDodd Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It never topped freezing in Faynam. High was supped to be 35 or so, only reached 30. Made driving an adventure for those fool enough to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreensboroWx Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi today so far is 23degF, with a low of 20degF. I wonder what the min Max is for Jan 25th....this has got to be close to a record. Roads are still VERY slick. Overall, probably .1 or .2" of sleet with a nice coating of ice on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Snow Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Three inches so far. Mainly snow with some sleet mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 As darkness falls, there's a thick freezing fog covering the mountains above 1,400 feet. I can only imagine what I-40 must be like trying to get over the escarpment at Old Fort into Black Mountain. Never saw the sun here, and the temp has dropped back to 26. Three inch icicles are all around the roof, and the car has them as well. Nothing on the trees at all. Only room for one car under the carport. Bummer! Looks like the northern Piedmont got the worst of it. So much for the "Wrath of.....". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 As of 6:10 this evening; light ice slivers. Every surface is covered in a coating of ice. I suspect an large portion of central NC looks the same. Thank goodness it was predominantly sleet rather than freezing rain. 28.7F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Temp has still failed to rise above 25.0 F here at the house. Currently at 24.8 F. No sun. All clouds. Just took the kids skating in the driveway and street. It's a total sheet. I don't know how anyone would dare drive on it. It's pretty amazing how that cool dense air gets trapped down here and can't escape. I see Boone is already at 32 F and Jefferson's up to 34 F. You gotta love a true CAD!!

calculus1 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Oh, and here's the short sleet video that I took during the height of the event earlier this afternoon. It was posted amidst the rush of everyone putting out about 5 posts a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is the best CAD I can remember in years and years... Very impressive stuff! I hazarded a drive to the local McDonald's here to get something to eat and the drive wasn't too bad (it is only just outside my neighborhood). However, we got a lot of sleet, which has kept the street from turning into a complete sheet of ice and provides a surprising amount of traction. I suspect things may take a turn for the worse overnight, though. Great video, by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's also kinda of fun (in a weird way, I know) to have to "rough it" for a few days without the power during a great winter storm. I've got the gas logs for heating the main living area and the gas stove for cooking. We can bundle everyone up and camp out in the living room for a day or two. I remember having to do that several times growing up, and we all made it through okay. Maybe I won't relish it so much now that I'm the dad and not the kid. I dunno.

NCStateMMY Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well, the precip has ended. measured a trace of snow, .5" sleet, and ~1/10" ice. Ground mostly white, creaks as you walk on it. Road in front of house covered and frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Makes no sense how the streets are covered in snow and nothing in the grass. There's plenty in the grass, but it's down below the blades. If you walk on it, you'll know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
