Buddy1987 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just for reference someone here yesterday and I can’t recall who was asking about sleet to liquid ratio. Based on NWS parameters 2:1/3:1 is the norm depending on the system. Been a while since I’ve seen that type of sleet accumulation. Tonight is kind of odd for up this far north. Not sure if I wake up to a sleet bomb or ice bomb. Really believe sleet may be the predominant type, at least for my immediate vicinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritsnc Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So will the rain lower temps at all? Or is that cold air from the north still supposed to push down? Wondering if I can dump all of this water out that I've put in jugs all over the place (we are on a well so when we lose power, we lose water). My temp is now up to 36.

FlatLander48 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I’m on my way back to Boone now, but I’m in Johnson City, TN currently where the temp is 40 degrees and it’s pouring sleet. I’m not sure how the dynamics compare from here to east of the apps, but just something to note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get some ice overnight and in the morning. Just not apocalyptic ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpiemaniac Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 IMBY, the HRRR indicates that once the cold are gets in here around 5:00 AM, it stays below freezing through late Thursday afternoon. Dumps at least 0.60” of QPF during that time. Unless things change, the north half of the Triad and southern Virginia aren’t out of the woods just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So it seems really doesn’t matter at the end of the day when the skies are clear and you get radiational cooling to start the night when clouds just instantly add 5 degrees. Might as well had the clouds move in whenever. No? 38.5/26.2Winds 3-5 MPH ENE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
