3rd Annual Snow Thread for the Mountains

[WNC_Fort]

Snow lasted for about 30 minutes. Been light sleet since with a heavy burst of sleet every none and again. Wish it would switch back to snow but just don't see it happening

[WxBlue]

Per our 21z weather balloon data: warm nose from 805 to 757 hPa levels with maximum temperature at 1.1°C.

 

No wonders why it's sleeting...

[Rainforrest]

Wonder how long this will stay heavy sleet?

not sure but it is getting wicked out.

We are getting plastered bad here in town. Back to heavy snow and sleet again. Amazing I have not seen this in years.

WLOS just did a live shot in Waynesville and it wasn't doing a thing except maybe some sleet

[franklin NCwx]

Sleetfest still in progress.

[HurricaneTracker]

Sleet and ZR mix southwest AVL. Very icy out there. Roads are a sheet of ice and sleet. Wicked

Yep, still sleeting here. I was hoping for a little more snow.

I have to go pick-up my daughter at 7. I am not looking forward to it.

[Hvward]

Sleetcity here. Proly .2" so far. Still have flakes mixing in periodically.

Better leave now. Lol

Be safe! Lots of wrecks and very slow traffic.

This will end up as the worst sleet/ice in years for me. Maybe ever?

 

There was an event with sleet this bad a couple of years ago in Raleigh, but we're like 25% through with this storm so it'll get worse.

[SnoJoe]

Still all snow and we're getting pounded. Three plus inches and counting. I know the sleet and rain is coming but I wish it stay just like this for a few more hours.

[WNC_Fort]

Wish I could switch back over to snow, this sleet is getting ridiculous!

Correct. Best forcing 6pm to 11pm.

lol that's crazy. I am at the hospital and everything is white and ice covered.

[Met1985]

Correct. Best forcing 6pm to 11pm.

wow we will be in big trouble then beca use it is already very impressive out there.

[ncjoaquin]

Better leave now. Lol

I couldn't even stand up walking to my car. Wish me luck. I will need it.

[jacobr57]

Agreed. Will the precip be sleet or fzra during that period? The models all seem to imply a switchover to fzra in a couple hours.

[SnoJoe]

I forgot to add in my ob that it's still 17.6 degrees. Please don't turn to rain.

[Rainforrest]

This may end up being the most sleet I have ever seen.

[WxBlue]

With this much sleet already, I can't see classes going for tomorrow at all. Maybe even Wednesday and Thursday with the cold coming in!

[NavarreDon]

Pics guys please.....if you get a chance!

[franklin NCwx]

same here, it already is.

[Met1985]

same here, it already is.

yeah the sleet is crazy. Still hammering here with snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

[jacobr57]

Sleet has slowed down quite a bit in Asheville. I expect it will pick back up again shortly though based on the radar.

[AirNelson39]

Been dumping snow all evening in Boone, roads have been terrible since it started around 1:30

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Would much rather have snow than this sleet to drive in for sure.

[Met1985]

What's funny or not funny is that we get back to the freezer box tonight and we basically see a chance of upslope snow for the rest of the week.
