Roads look like they are a tick warm, looks like some pooling of water. Trees and elevated surfaces are starting to get wrecked. Nice glaze on everything forming.

Disc Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The heavier precip has "warmed" by backyard up to 30.1 degrees. One of the better ice events that I've seen in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you call .19" of cold rain an event I won't try and remember this one. Expand I had 1.5-2" of rain in about 6-8 hours at 33 degrees! Just think if it was snow, 20" overnight, would have been nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I’d say the advisory definitely verified here. Low impact event but GSP did another great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Unbelievable. Still below freezing and currently have freezing drizzle making things very slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precip has ended. 31 degrees Expand Same here.... just now made it above freezing, but the precip is over. Trees and power-lines are covered with a lot more ice than I was expecting. GSP said less than a tenth of an inch. Pretty sure we passed that by a good margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtgus Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Cold rain here in Gibsonville. According to radar it is freezing rain, sleet, and snow just a few miles to my northwest but I haven't been out to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Crept back up to 33. Slush still on the deck, and trees are coated. Very light drizzle. Icicles around roof are gone. Very fortunate here north of Lake Lure. Could've been so much worse. About 3/4" so far. Foggy on ridges above me. Looks like heavier ice on Wolf Pen Mountain above 3,000 feet. Still hoping for a flurry or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept thinking we’d get above freezing per the models and GSP by 9 or 10 AM but with anyone who has CAD experience, should know it ALWAYS holds on longer than expected.

Poimen Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I was totally shocked to see the amount of ice on the trees when we left church. Roads are fine, but there has been significant accrual on the limbs/power lines here, some limbs are noticeably sagging. It looks like the RGEM was closer to reality than most other guidance.

I don't think it made it to warning criteria but I definitely have more than the T I've seen reported so far. At least a tenth, probably more up high in the pines.

Buddy1987 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Major accrual on elevated surfaces. My pine trees are starting to sag badly. Powerlines have a noticeable amount of ice on them.

Buddy1987 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Gotta have close to 1/2” of ice accretion outside. This has been something. Models have been unbelievably accurate up this way. 31.8 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBlade Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Briefly dropped below freezing around sunrise this morning but then went to 33 and never moved from there. As usual, the CAD, no matter the type, was very stubborn to erode. But as usual, us just below 85 sat at 33 lol. Luckily this was just warm enough to prevent disaster for nearly everyone. But when you get that .1 to .2 on trees and things it’s an awesome site when the sun comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
