mackerel_sky Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 38 now! Dag gum, we can't get anything to go right! I'm sure Thur will work out also! We have plenty of rain on radar, but temps aren't there, never seen that before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 What I take away from the graphic is that the HP is slowly sliding east. It is quite common during this process for the HP to actually wedge south, just east of the mountains. Sometime thereafter, the trend east of the mountains will reverse - it's just a matter of how long it is before the trend reverses to the point of getting wetbulb's above freezing. So from my perspective, the graphic does NOT show the hp trying to lock in, and the process if basically playing out as expected - though timing is still in question. TW Yes -- It just shows the CAD reinforcing along and east of the mountains. Eventually WAA will reverse the process and we'll begin to slowly warm from S to N as the low begins to slide off to the east. The graphic was merely for visualization purposes.

FallsLake Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Nice small event unfolding for many across NC and Va. I think we hit this just right by having the cold air in place, a few hours of clear skies last night, and then precip in the early morning hours. Everything is glazed over and still coming down. I need to get one of my kids to sleigh right now and see how fast they would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TW Yeah, I certainly wasn't saying anything about the high "locking in" - just that it was still actively ridging south and strengthening the cold air wedge. Winds are still out of the northeast here, but that warm nose is mighty stout. Anyway, we've seen some light icing here this morning. Just saw an alert that there have been quite a few accidents from the ice. It sure doesn't take much to cause problems when it starts sticking to the roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 A little too much moisture rotating through here than I'm comfortable with given our temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 A little too much moisture rotating through here than I'm comfortable with given our temps. Some of those heaver returns could be sleet. If not your right this could get dicey. I already have a decent glaze with 2" ice cycles on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderwolf Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Seems to be raining a little "too hard" here in N. Raleigh. Most appears to be running off although there is a thin glaze of ice on cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG FROSTY Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I barely have a glaze on my deck hand rails etc.... Most of the moisture has missed me to the east. 29.3/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Temps are marginal, I'm at 30.1. If they were in the mid 20s I suppose the accrual rate would be quicker. Plenty of moisture though and there is a rather impressive glaze forming on most surfaces. No sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KChuck Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Nothing on any surfaces here except cars. Went out around 7:30 to check drive and decide if go/no go for church this morning. Car windows had ice frozen hard but driveway surface, deck, and trees just wet. Took shower and went out to scrape and temp rose enough to soften ice on car windows... From 29 to 30. Ice broke up easy but rain turning to sleet while I was scraping. Raleigh calling for temps to drop leading to more freezing but we'll see. Leaving for church shortly.

Solak Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 DISCUSSION...RADAR MOSAIC THIS MORNING SHOWS A BROKEN-PRECIP SHIELD ACROSS THE CAROLINA PIEDMONT NEWD INTO THE CHESAPEAKE BAY VICINITY. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE AREA FROM N-CNTRL NC NWD IS AOB 32 DEG F EXCEPT ALONG NEAR SERN VA COAST WHERE THE INFILTRATION OF THE MARINE AIR MASS HAS LED TO TEMPS IN THE MID-UPPER 30S. THE 12Z GSO RAOB SHOWED A MELTING LAYER ATOP A SHALLOW SUB-FREEZING NEAR-SURFACE LAYER AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS N-CNTRL NC SHOW ONLY SLIGHT WARMING AT THE SURFACE THROUGH 16Z. AS A RESULT...A CONTINUATION OF FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED. FARTHER N...ISENTROPIC LIFT AND THE POLEWARD MOVEMENT OF HIGHER PW PER NC/SERN VA GPS PW DATA WILL ACT TO SATURATE THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE OVER DELMARVA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE INFLUENCE OF THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL FAVOR SURFACE TEMPS BELOW FREEZING AND SUPPORT MAINLY A FREEZING RAIN P-TYPE AS THE LAYER AROUND H85 WARMS.

Isopycnic Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 A nice glaze on the trees, cars and existing snowpack. Deck is very icy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDodd Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 At 9:30, there's a light glaze on trees and cars in central Harnett Co. Gotta figure bridges are slick, but I'm not going out there to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Lots of ice here. I went out and checked the conditions and the sidewalk is treacherous. Even the road had a buildup of slushy slickness. Yikes. Here's a pic from a couple of hours ago that shows some of the accrual, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
