TheVille Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 34-35 here in statesville with precip about 30-45 mins away should be interesting. School isn't delayed yet but have a feeling it will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelwx Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 33.6 here in Colfax just 5 miles west of GSO. There's been a slow steady drop for the last few hours. Maybe 3/4 degree every hour. TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could still essentially just be rain and we see a one degree drop after 5am to cause problems. Looks like some heavier returns are headed my way.

superjames1992 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 That image makes me feel uncomfortable...somebody in Hickory might fart and cause me to rise 1 degree. I thought you hated freezing rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POWERSTROKE Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Shouldnt be much to ice up on roads where sun warmed up asphalt. Needs to be 30 degrees for a while to ice up. I would be more concerned after it pass by if skies clear to get it down in 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelwx Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think the real threat is more the shady roads. Even though it got up around 40 today, the pavement is still aob freezing - so just 32 and some precip is all it will take. Now down to 32.9 here in Colfax. I usually get ice on the deck at 32.7.

kvegas-wx Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Heading to Gso airport at 6:30. This will make for a fun morning. TW said it correctly, we have numerous problem shady spots that will guaranteed ice over at 32. The county roads between Kvegas and Walkertown will be a mess in the AM.

TW You be surprised how quick roads warm up and retain heat. Plus there is alot of salt residue left over on streets shady areas may be some black ice for sure. I just got back in from salting some areas. 34 was lowest temp i had from winston to dobson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sitting at 26-27 here wondering if this makes it far enough east to give us something, nothing in the forecast so I suspect it dries up before it gets to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Steady rain...very wet...guess its not cold enough. The back edge is now in western Wilkes moving east. Too much sun yesterday and quick cloud cover kept it warm enough. We still at 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 On the road driving down to work in Charlotte. No icing noted driving through the Foothills with temperatures in the mid 30s. This High Country was generally in the upper 30s earlier with a few colder pockets. Looks like the wedge will hold in today with the big warm up on Tuesday.

Isopycnic Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 0.03" overnight with minor glazing. Temps were 31.4f at one point but are now 33.9f and rising 0.15f an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 North and West districts of Wilkes iced over...further delay or closing possible. Will go out and investigate after I take a shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 never got lower than 34 last night. Glad to see rain wash salt off roads. Randolph County schools 2 hour delay. Looking forward to the end of the week/weekend possibilities at more nickel@dime events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 VERY ICY over the original sleet/snow pack that remains...esp. in the driveway. Roads looked very sparkly so that may be black ice. Ground a little crunchy but think the best ice occurred in far northern or western Wilkes in regards to trees/ground or w/e. College finally announced a 2 hour delay! Ready for it to melt now this event is sealed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 However, if weather continues, this status may change to further delay or a closing. ^ lol Highway 18 from Wilkes up the mountain is closed due to ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It looks like we only got down to 33 degrees last night here. Picked up 0.05" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Wilbar Fire Department first responders, Wilkes EMS and the Wilkes Rescue Squad responded to a pickup wreck on N.C. 16 North near the intersection with Grindstone Ridge Road on the Blue Ridge escarpment about 6 a.m. today. A spokesman for the Wilbar Fire Department said the pickup was being driven up the mountain when it struck and snapped a power pole in half after sliding on ice. Meanwhile, the Glendale Springs Fire Department closed N.C. 16 at the top of the mountain near where it crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway and Wilbar firefighters closed it at the bottom of the mountain until N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) personnel made the highway safer for travel by applying salt. At 10:30 a.m. today, the Wilkes Communications Center dispatched emergency personnel to unpaved Sampson Mountain Road in response to a report of a gray car being seen about 150 feet down an embankment along the road about a quarter mile from the Watauga County line. http://www.journalpatriot.com/news/article_a402bc90-6978-11e2-9530-001a4bcf6878.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
