cwick20 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yeah I'd say the models nailed this one pretty good. There was a lot of "wishcasting" going on but it's hard not to do when you're winter weather lovers and it's so hard to come by around here.

Yep, nothing but rain here. Didn't even see a thin glaze or single pinger. Was 33 and rain, now up to 34. All models were showingg at least 1/10 for me, so bust there, but I totally saw it coming.

BornAgain13 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Went from 33 down to 31 here in Danville quick. Freezing Rain falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullCityWx Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I just never saw it with this one. Light treetop glaze at best as I’ve traveled from Davidson into Southern Iredell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 30 and freezing rain here in Marion bounced between 29 and 30 but holding steady now. Per NCHP roads no bueno right now. Wrecks all over the place in the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 While wetbulbs are warming up pretty fast, some areas should stay below freezing for about 4-6 more hours.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy1987 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 HEAVY sleet and zr right now. Bouncing off the window like crazy. Great storm thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwick20 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 35.1 and the rain has just let up with the heavier returns now to our east. Congrats to the folks with a little excitement this morning. Here's to hoping for a decent storm for us all as we close out winter over the next several weeks. This winter has been much more exciting than the previous few!

burrel2 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I’m driving in to Anderson,sc and some spots have quite a bit in the tree tops. I’d say 1/10th or so in spots. not sure why people are calling bust here? Most of the upstate and ne Georgia saw a glaze of ice and some spots most likely got 1/10th to maybe 2/10ths. We were one degree away from widespread .25 inch accretions and widespread power outages. I agree with lookout that the nearly 2 inches of liquid we got helped to mitigate the minimum temperatures. All of that heavy rain surely helped to drag down mid level warm air and save us from a bigger ice storm. also, Canadian wins this one. Euro and gfs consistently showed the upstate at 40 degrees for the lowest temp today in the 3 to 4 day forecast time. Canadian was the only global showing 31/32 in the upstate and it verified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 49 minutes ago, burrel2 said: 1.5 inches in the bucket now... crazy Radar estimates are between 2 and 2.5 but gauges nearby show around 1.75. As a shock to no one I'm sure that is an inch or more than the gfs has been forecasting for days until the 0z run. Also an inch more than the canadian. Btw have to give a shout out to the icon. It had showed heavier amounts consistently.. Temp wise was a little too cold last evening before the rain started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 RGEM was right on money with rainfall amounts while temperatures remained below freezing. I'm just shy of 0.5 inch on Vantage Vue gauge and temp is 31.4/30. Now, only 0.10-0.15 has accrued so far, though. I have many 1+ inch icicles on the deck. Treetops are totally iced over and glistening.Sent from my Alcatel 6055U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 3 degrees too warm here...right at its average bust range in these events. It busted closer to 4 to 5 degrees to the south around athens. Same goes for euro.

Wow Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Heavy precip now. A nice light glaze on all the trees and bushes. Pines look just fine. Currently 31.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherHawk Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Cold rain here near Todd...drove down to Boone about an hour ago....wet and slushy...roads were slushy...refreezing could be an issue and wonder if we'll get any snow on the back end...how is it going in the Salem and Lynchburg VA areas?

LKN WX Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Had a nice glaze on the cars and tops of the Leyland Cypresses and other trees here-call it about tenth of an inch. Now just heavy, cold rain-32.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushes starting to sag and trees have a good coating. Powerlines have some mini icicles hanging off them. Temp has only risen like a half degree in an hour.
