WxKnurd Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Rain here at my house, sounds like some sleet mixing in. Probably snowing up above my house once you hit 4000’ though since Joe and Moto have switched over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy1987 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Snowing in Roanoke. Nice to see flakes this early. Hopefully the precip shield will get a bump here by mid morning from the vort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Pretty much all sleet now here at Balsam Gap. And just like that flakes are staring to mix in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have about 1.25" on the ground (at my house, this pic is at about 3500') and the pavement is super treacherous up here. I lost traction and had to choose between a deep ditch and a 30' drop on the other side. I chose ditch. And that was in a Jeep with mud tires in 4 low crawling at about 3 mph. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good part about my place is all I gotta do is get out of the neighborhood and I’m on 74. Headed out to take the trash to the convenience center and run some errands, we will see how it is in town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the sleet snow mix things are really glazing over. We have dropped to 30 degrees also and I think things will just get worst as the day goes on with all this water freezing over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhowl Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Have a dusting of snow here in town; minor coating on the deck but roads appear fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Light sleet and snow, glaze of mainly sleet on the ground for my area, we will see if we can get some flow snow later but we aren’t situated in a good orientation for it. Once you drop down to 3000’ and below on 74 way less of a sleet glaze (only in roofs and vehicles) and it’s back to mainly sleet/rain it seems. Edit: I said that and now have snow in Hazelwood with a dusting on the ground. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just now turned to light now here in Fletcher after about 30 minutes of sleet. Very nice to see on 11/12! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 And not to skip over this, but the latest GFS almost had precip far enough west for something interesting friday. not great thermals but still close. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The NW flow should kick in here pretty quickly after this initial batch bases through. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Down to 19.4° and the snow looks to be picking up again. Hopefully the additional snow will help with traction because salt isn't going to help any at this temp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We live on a south facing slope so the sun is out and the occasional flurry is falling. Can see the clouds streaming in above us and I can see it snowing on Beef Market Top across 74 from us, so maybe we can get in a snow shower or two.

SnoJoe Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Back to very light snow with a wee bit of grapple mixed in. Temps just slipped into the teens at 19.4. I've had just under 2 inches of snow so far. A nice wintry look outside. BTW, the temp at my weather station in Salter Path is 72.4. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
