At 3pm RDU is 30 degrees and still receiving freezing rain. As of 2:51 they have received .33 qpf listed as freezing rain. That's an ice storm. All you need .25 of freezing rain to meet winter storm criteria.

 

We should have an hour or two more of freezing temps. Rocky Mount is still at 31 and Sanford is 29. 

 

Sounds like we stayed below freezing longer than forecasted.

29/28 in Easley. Have yet to see the first flake, pellet, or droplet come down from the sky for the entire event. Went to bed last night with 26/5. Total wetbulb and evap cooling fail for this one. I have found that evap cooling only works if there is a big initial burst of precip, otherwise it does absolutely nothing to help you. Precip still hours away - looks like I won't see a single droplet of frozen precip from this - total failure of a system for MBY anyway. Congrats to those further north in NC/VA/TN and up who got to see some. Maybe next winter will deliver more goods for the upstate (we say that every year)!
