It stretches from northern Davidson county all the way to High Point. A number of gold-colored radar returns embedded in it. Yeah, I see that on radar. Looks like a summertime popcorn thunderstorm cell or something. Pretty crazy. It's pouring rain now. I'd assume it's plain RN at this point unless we've dropped a degree since midnight. KGSO's 1 AM obs should be out anytime (I don't have my own weather station, but I only live 4 miles from the airport, so I usually just use that). EDIT: Yep, up to 33/33 now.

NWNC2015 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thunder and lightning with snow/ice on the ground is nice. Just wish it was snowing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ice Storm Warnings fired up to my south-west. A little late to the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyu Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 This is crazy, it almost seems like a tropical storm! It rains hard, and thunders & lightning, for a few min. then quits for a few, and does it again! All the while teetering on freezing! WOW!!

southernskimmer Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 At 32 in jamestown still. Thunder pingers and craziness going on. Another episode of "how the wedge turns." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest T Bass Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Still 32F and iced in. This is one of the most amazing CAD events that I can recall. I thought for sure the line of storms would move us well past the freezing mark. Ground, driveway, road in front of house are all still solid ice. Light to moderate tree ice too.

HKY_WX Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just woke up by that straight line wind. Had to have 70 mph wind gusts. Got my heart pumping. That was crazy. Thought it was a tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too heavy doesn't matter if your stuck in the 20s the ice threat is over for me. Rain will be warmer with the lightning heating it up.. I guess lightning could contribute a little to warming the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy1987 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Holy sh*t!! This is unreal. 32.0 still and the trees etc are looking really really bad. It was supposed to be in the mid 40s by now.

Cat Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Still sitting at the freezing mark in Lincolnton NC. We were forecast to be pushing 40 right now. My neighborhood is quite icy.

Jonathan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 My temperature has actually DROPPED from 31 back down to 30. Wow. Pretty sure I was supposed to be in the 40s by now. What a hellacious CAD event. The event was officially ALL frozen for me. I never expected that. We had HEAVY ZR all night. Over a thousand power outages in my county and neighboring counties. Very surprised mine's still on. It blinked sometime before 4:30am though. Still can't believe my temperature just dropped lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Power is quickly back on in Elkin. 0.3" of ice. Trees and power lines down county wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 CAD for the ages. My folks down in Hudson told me they have thunderstorms below freezing all night. Also 321 heading up the Mtn is a solid sheet of ice still. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWNC2015 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I quickly took me a shower and put a pizza in the oven because I can still hear trees coming down! My backyard thermometer says 32 and its past 8am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
