[SnoJoe]

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

 

Same here Mr. Nelson. How much do you have ? Still pumpin' here  Just measured and we're at a little over 4 inches.Temp has actually dropped to 16.2. Best rates all day. Good call HT, picked up right at 6 pm.

I'm only measuring 2" but doesn't make since to me given the rates and the temp, there's not any wind either so it's not that. Weird

Yikes! Mostly freezing rain now.

[ncjoaquin]

Well, they have sanded the interstates, but they are not great. Side roads are horrible. Traffic is down to almost nothing.

[WxBlue]

Freezing rain has started here, I think.

[Met1985]

FreezING rain here know and everything is iced over.

Glad you made it home safe Jason!

[ncjoaquin]

Thanks Don!  I miss you being here this winter. Of course, it has been pretty quiet until today.

[Rainforrest]

This is the hardest it has sleeted all day

[wncsnow]

Still all sleet here, varying from moderate to light, nothing too heavy yet, and little to no ZR yet.

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Heavy sleet here.  Been moderate to heavy since about 4 PM.  Most sleet that I have ever seen.  Roads are dangerous, to say the least.

[HurricaneTracker]

Freezing rain has started here, I think.

Agreed. All freezing rain here in southwest Buncombe

[Met1985]

We have about an inch of ice on back roads here know. Unbeleivable.

[franklin NCwx]

Nasty freezing rainstorm.

[ncjoaquin]

Heavy sleet here. Still no freezing rain.

[hoi_polloi9]

We are holding on for dear life to a sleet and freezing rain mix here between Fairview and Fletcher.  Expecting a total switch over to freezing rain before to much longer.  Yuck.  I hope this won't be as bad as I fear it will be.

[wncsnow]

Still mostly sleet here and pouring it down,  we have about 3/4 inch of sleet

[WxBlue]

Prepared and launched this balloon personally with some assistance. I feel pretty proud of this sounding from 0z Anyway, warm nose is getting a tad warmer now between 740 and 820 mb levels.

 

[SnoJoe]

Approaching 5 inches here but hearing the pinging in the woods. I guess accumulations of snow are about over. Good call GSP.

 

On a side note, Wed. afternoon and night is starting to look like maybe another advisory level event with the arctic air coming in. Going to be a great winter week !!

Good job !      Hopefully, you will be busy until April.

[WNC_Fort]

Freezing rain here now. The sleet accumulation is already completely solid.

Maybe another shift this weekend? We'll see, but I'm loving this job

Yeah, it's becoming an ice rink out there!

[HurricaneTracker]

Radar trends suggest we will be done with the precip quite a bit earlier than forecast. It looks to me like a stronger eastward progression is taking over. Precip should clear most of the mountain counties by 10:30pm. Maybe sooner for Franklin and Haywood counties.

[wncsnow]

The sleet is really coming down now, closing in on 2 inches of pure IP! incredible! And still predominately sleet over ZR.. im pleased with this storm
