According to the SPC page, both 850s and 925s are below freezing here, well below. Why is it still sleeting rather than snowing with these really heavy rates? There must be a relatively shallow warm nose somewhere in the column. Probably quite high up so the melted snow can refreeze into solid IP.

Jonathan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hardest/biggest sleet I've ever experienced right now. It sounds like people are throwing rocks at my window. Pretty sure I just heard thunder as well. Still salty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleet made it be able to stick together a little bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My parents in Pisgah Forest NC near Transylvania/Henderson county line measured about 10" before the sleet hit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Zero precip in Apex currently. Which I greatly prefer to freezing rain. Winds absolutely howling at times, though. Hoping the trees hang tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Radar seems to be filling in, possibly back building right over the Charlotte area. I know I went from light returns to darker greens and yellows over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 We had to pack down the large hill to get a good sled going. But it was a good sledding time afterwards!
