Stebaney Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Not sure how much ice we have b/c no clue how to measure it but this is a tree in my front yard. We have heavy precip coming down now. Not sleet so have to assume freezing rain and not just rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Have heard/seen a couple pine branches snapping off. I'm not quite sure how to measure freezing rain, since most of it is obvious on the trees and shrubs more so than on the flat surfaces with the pounding 32 degree rain. I'm guessing 0.2"zr. All the shrubs are sagging, pine boughs are bending, Crape Myrtles are curtsying, icicles dripping off the porch railings, some as much as 4" long. Lights have flickered a few times. Duke Energy is reporting almost 63K 66K+ w/o power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNC97 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Just lost power due to downed tree (from heavy ZR) in Fuquay Varina, NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 27.3° light sleet zr mix right now. I just got back from a drive and taking some pics. Roads completely covered and even saw a pine tree that had uprooted and fell onto a house. That last batch that moved through was like a squall line. Possibly thunder sleet when I was inside lowes. Heard a rumble inside and several others though it was thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calm_days Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It is literally pouring sleet like a random pop up thundershower in the summer pours rain out of nowhere. I knew something was about to pop after I heard that thunder. Legit thunder sleet is crazy. yes! it seems like the next several hours in this area may be a bit different from the usual winter storm. if the electricity stays on, we will be able to see the radar/satellite changes that occur, otherwise be able to check back in a few days to this thread at least..!

Ernest T Bass Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Pretty heavy sleet now. I think the thunderstorm is going to go just to my east going by the statement the NWS put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasonsoflove Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 36 and dropping down here in a lull between rain showers... DP 34 wet bulb 35. This is colder than we were forecast at this hour. Hopeful for a little bit of snow on the back end. I see some pink in the NE burbs of ATL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmarci Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 There it goes. Where are you in Raleigh? Still have power in south Raleigh but trees and sagging bad now...waiting for a limb to take out the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowinnc Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 People in Raleigh who have lost power...how far south are you? We are in NW Wake about five miles from the Durham County line but I'm getting really nervous now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Pretty heavy sleet in Lincolnton NC right now, with a few snowflakes mixed in, been coming down decently for the past 30 minutes.

jburns Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 He just now tweeted again This could be the type of night you go out this evening and see blue flashes from transformers blowing up. Was like that in Feb 96 ice storm How do you measure ice anyway? Do you take a ruler like you do snow? At least that is how I do it. Does't seem there is an accurate way to measure ice. http://www.cocorahs.org/Media/Training/Training_IceAccreation.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy3107 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Down to 30/28 in Gainesville, Ga. Moderate Sleet/Freezing Rain mix. Just spoke to a Gainesville police officer who said that from the Hall county line north the roads are a wreck....they're responding to multiple accidents due to icing county wide.

Steven_1974 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 People in Raleigh who have lost power...how far south are you? We are in NW Wake about five miles from the Durham County line but I'm getting really nervous now. That worries me in Cary too now if it's not that far away. Haven't seen the trees sagging here really, but am certainly concerned that might not be too far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNCCmetgrad Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Just had thunder sleet a little less than an hour ago. Huge CG bolt. Was on the Gaston/Meck county line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landof2rivers Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 How much of an accumulation do you have there? We got 3-5 inches of snow and probably 1-2 inches of sleet. Thats a guess. It's hard to tell bc when it was sleeting it was pouring and really compacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
