FallsLake Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just got into work (Capital & US401). Maybe 1/10" of ice in the trees. Around 1/3" of ice at the house(Wake/Granville line). Everything looks like glass. I'm really amazed at being able to get ice storms in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Had some ice on the trees. Some small branches were leaning over but nothing snapping. The bridge on US1 over 98 was closed on the way into work. Looks like a car slid off the road earlier. The other side of the bridge was open. I didn't see any problems on Capital. I know there are wrecks out there, but I think it's folks that just can't drive. They would probably wreck if it just rained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 No school. Oh joy. Lets all sit around and watch ice melt. Beggars cant be choosers I know, but I much prefer one or two big dogs with 72 and sunny in between. Lol! You might get your wish this time next week. Y'all know what I want. Either warm and sunny or a big snow. The last few events have just been more annoying than anything here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just got back from taking my wife to work. Roads are clearing fast. I85 has two clear lanes and an ice covered left lane in both directions. That should be clearing up in the next couple of hours. My trees, what's left of them, are bent over but nothing has come down. Best part, no power outage here.

Solak Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's warmed up a degree, and the thin glaze in the treetops is melting. Every time a gust of wind comes through, it sounds like a heavy sleet storm -- but just in the wooded areas. It's been interesting, watching the sparkle on the tall pines melt from the ground level up as the air warms. I'm guessing the very tops of the trees had a thicker coating of ice.

Cold Rain Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's cool looking out the window from high up seeing all of the ice all over the trees. Still drizzling here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bit of sleet yesterday mixed in with the rain, as I was leaving work. Over the distance (about 13 miles SE) I traveled to get home, it changed to all rain.

superjames1992 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's still below freezing (31) here as of noon. So much for our forecasted high of 44 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 0.79" of rain. .2" of glaze and .2" of sleet crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Is there a reason RAH has never made a map for this storm on their "past events" page? It's much more major than some of the pathetic "events" they have on there. My understanding is that they put every wintry event since 2000 on there, but then this one continues to be missing... http://www.erh.noaa.gov/rah/events/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
