Joshua in Charlotte Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I can see 485 (NW Charlotte) from my apartment. The inner loop is to a crawl - usually there's no traffic at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 28 in Spartanburg with moderate sleet. Roads are covered now I just went outside to check conditions and it looks like there isn't quite as much sleet right now. Still prob 60% sleet, but hard to tell. Icicles everywhere and getting bigger so I know there is a decent amount fzrn in it. 28.0° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Temperatures warming up here. Was between 44-46 all day, now 49.5. Warm front moving through. No rain yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Phil, has the SN/IP line been on the move south at all (I forget the link to the correlation coefficient radar)? I do notice more snow mixing in than I've seen since about 5 PM. Will that continue? I know we'll warm up eventually, but in the meantime it would be nice. It has been bobbing around the last couple of hours, but currently its around the boundary of Caswell and Person counties. When your warm nose gets to around 0C, precipitation rate can often fight to maintain the profile isothermal (due to melting snowflakes dynamically cooling the profile). However, WAA typically wins in these battles as precip rates increase. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=RAX-N0C-1-48# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well as I said earlier, they all were really bad. But the two that came the closest was the gfs (off by about 4 to 5 degrees) and the 4km nam...which did show freezing rain the furthest south. the normal run of the nam, hrrr, the euro, canadian, rgem, and rap were all terrible to beyond terrible south of i-85. Lookout, Further to what you said, here is hour 38 from yesterday's 12Z high resolution wrf/nam effective 9 PM tonight: https://www.americanwx.com/bb/uploads/monthly_02_2015/post-25-0-24750900-1424028442.gif Fantastic prog!!

kvegas-wx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Not snow in GSO. At least here in kernersville (10 miles west) it is POURING sleet! Most fun I have ever had on an atv. Took out the polaris 90 and tore....it...up! Tomorrow is gonna be sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin1926 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yup, 2002 was awful. When hardwoods are cracking under the weight of the ice, you know it's bad. Not gonna wish that on my worst enemy. Can't believe that was 12-13 years ago! Nothing crazy going on currently. Thin coating of sleet/snow on sidewalks and some roads. A lull at this time. Temps down your way have really crashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The interstates have gone to hell. The brine washed off and the rain is sticking directly to them. this is what is happening here the rain is just gonna wash the roads clear then they are going to freeze...... temps holding or even dropping into the mid 20's here with hrs of light steady rain on the way and its falling on surfaces that have been sub freezing for over 40 hrs straight........could be a epic crippling ice storm for a large hunk of NC.

packbacker Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The interstates have gone to hell. The brine washed off and the rain is sticking directly to them. Was just about to ask about that...it's been since 2002 since I recall a solid freezing rain event and wasn't sure if the roads actually were affected when it's just pure freezing rain.

GaWx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Here in Dunwoody, it has been stuck in the 32.0 to 32.1 range for 3 hours (mainly 32.1 lately). So, I feel like we've likely bottomed. If so, we may have dodged a bullet. I can't tell if ice is/has accumulated in the trees, but I didn't notice any in the bushes and on other objects including metal.

StormyClearweather Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 29 and sleet here still, maybe a little freezing rain mixed in. I'm really surprised I'm still getting sleet considering what everybody else is saying. I'm south of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDeac Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Fortunately, a lot of what is falling in CLT, and it's falling at a moderate rate, is remaining liquid on the roads/sidewalks for now. However, I doubt that can hold on much longer, unless temps rise significantly. 27 with a wetbulb of 23.4 here. Wonder why it's accum so much more on interstates than sidewalks? Very odd. Obviously, overpasses are a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setzy1517 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yup. Rockin' sleet like it's March '14 again. Do you think we will stay mainly sleet the rest of the way? Or is there chance of making a switch to freezing rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
