tramadoc Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 24 minutes ago, FallsLake said: backyard temp sitting at 33.1 degrees. One things for sure it's going to be a raw day. I'm at 36.2° with an ESE wind at 9. Not supposed to get much higher than what I'm at right now. My wife is a rural postal carrier towards the north end of Camden County (just south of Chesapeake, VA) and the radar returns show pockets of sleet. I told her to be careful this morning and later this evening. It's an active time for her right now. Lots of packages, and especially a lot with it being the final shipping week before Christmas. They get at least two complete pallets of Amazon shipments wrapped in shrink wrap a day. The USPS must have made some deal with Amazon to ship everything under 75 lbs. Mods: if this belongs in banter, please move with my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackGrad05 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I guess the only thing to really watch with this is how long the precip lingers tonight and if it freezes overnight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 You Raleigh, Northern Coastal Plain boys seeing any flurries. Getting some blues on the radar. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/south-carolina/weather-radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Not really seeing how anything frozen could be out there with most temps in the mid-30s (unless it's really cold at the 925mb level-haven't checked-and there's some sleet perhaps) EDIT: seeing some sleet near Rocky Mount NC on hi-res radar.

SteveVa Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Overall the lack of precipitation was the problem, temperature is hovering around 36 since the morning. A rain band (the only one since early morning) passed through at around 11, dropped the temp to 34 and there was some sleet mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 steady rain with periods of heavy mist mixed in, temp still 34, about the most I expect is my truck being a pain in the ass to get into in the morning, and even then if 31-32 is the low that probably wont even be a issue.....if we manage to get 29-30 for most of the overnight hrs then trees and cars etc might have a glaze by morning....

I wouldn't expect much in the way of black ice, not going to be cold enough, still though bridges and overpasses etc need to be watched perhaps if the temp can get 30 or lower....
