My back deck ain't gone be pretty. Left up nice canopy tent after wife told me to take down. Mother nature just did. If that glass patio table broke I'll be sleeping in the snow tommorrow instead of sledding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE of the warm nose in Belmont (a few miles south of I-85). We have had PREDOMINATELY ip/rain with snow every now and then. We had a few bursts of mainly snow, however, it ALWAYS had ip mixed in. Got a dusting on the cars, yard, etc. I have been tracking storms since the WRIGHT WEATHER BOARD Days of the late 90's, to Eastern Wx to American and I must say...THIS STORM STINGS THE MOST. To see EVERYONE around you gaining accumulations and to be under that warm bubble. I may hang this up after this one. HA. I want to say THANK YOU for all of your input to us all. GREAT JOB man! Best regards, Jason Thanks a lot Jason. That is crazy and unfortunate for you....man, so hard to forecast this stuff. Always best to play it conservative...I wasn't conservative enough I'm sure over the Charlotte area (Meck County) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exact measurement but a nice cover on the ground. Hope it picks back up again! Brother is closer to Shelby and he has around 3 inches as well. Congrats!

CoreyandFrosty Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Band of precip breaking out over Atlanta now. Getting light snow and freezing rain here. I wonder how intense this precip will get. Coverage is increasing fairly rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeVa Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 1 hour ago, ncforecaster89 said: Just pulled off I-95N near Enfield, NC. Heavy sleet accumulating on the roads caused this driver to slide off into a ditch. Thankfully, he's just shaken up. Roads very icy. Temp is 30F Will continue N on 95 to Roanoke Rapids. Then to Suffolk, VA. Onto Virginia Beach area by dawn. Note: I apologize in advance to anyone who I'm not able to respond to while on the road. Metro soutside has been mostly sleet thus far. You should drive up 17 through Smithfield and hang out in Newport News for a few hours before making your back to the south side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkman Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Up to ~6" here in N High Point as of a few minutes ago. I tried to go to sleep but it isn't easy to close your eyes on a storm like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarmNose Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Epic bust here 5 miles south of I-85 in SC. Probably got at least 1.25 qpf. Cold rain through and through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherheels Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Got a hair over 5.25" on the board, and it's still ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have 6.5 inches on the board. Just spitting sleet and snow right now. Looking back on it and thinking of my totals, I would estimate I had 3 inches during that one hour in the intense band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Surfaces are wet. Trees are getting icy. Hopefully, not took icy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarmNose Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Relentless warm nose down here for hours and hours and hours and hours on end. I feel so sorry for Chris Justus and John C. I don't think Dale Gilbert was suprised though. He's seen this setup many times. It just doesn't work out south of 85 when you're depending on bringing cold air from the NW side of the Apps. Models said the cold air would eventually overtake the warm nose but it just didn't happen. It actually ended up a lot deeper than modeled.
