1/10-11 super awesome winter SE OBS thread

[27596WXNUT]

Snow with light sleet mixed in here after a bit of sleet to begin 3 miles east of Youngsville, NC.(Southeast Franklin County)
 

Deck dusted.  Weather friend neigbor 2 houses over weather station says 32°.  
 

Short range models seem to have us on the higher side of the tight gradient.

Snowing with the big boy flakes now in Winston-Salem.

I’m on the Wake Durham County line just north of Leesville.

Per NWS we have light freezing rain. Appears to be plain rain from where I am standing. Fortunately, I do not see any ice buildup on trees, power lines or the roadways. (Central Greenville, SC county)

The good news about a sleet mix with the snow is it makes your cover bullet proof.

[CentralNC]

Snow picking up in Lewisville. 28 degrees and we have about an inch

Hoping they are coming this way!  I have to be honest, I am unimpressed so far given the potential we saw earlier today.  Rates have been meh, flakes are small and only an inch or so accum in Kvegas.  Maybe 3" is the right forecast after all.

The lightest of sleet here in Wilson.  Temp oozing down 33.1 now.

[Fantom X]

Light snow in salisbury nc.  27F.  Eyeballing 0.2"

We must be super close! We live about five miles from the Durham County line off of Creedmoor Rd. Our 16 year-old just placed an order from Domino’s on Leesville Road because she said she wanted to get experience driving in this. It’s pretty heavy, so I told her absolutely not. Thankfully my husband is from Idaho and is used to this, so he is going with her. Nothing like stubborn teenagers who think they own the road!

Huh? Northern Wake is snowing pretty good. Things getting covered

Wake County is big...central Wake still has a fair amount of sleet mixed in, but it's probably 90% light snow 10% sleet rn. Roofs, cars are dusted, grass is getting patches of white, road is still just wet. Not that I'm calling this a bust, it's only 18:30 lol. Got the good bourbon ready for when it pics up though

[NorthHillsWx]

Kinda ripping. Snow sleet mixed but everything covered. Roads too. 29.7

Ditto here in North High Point.

I suppose this counts for ending the Raleigh streak

 

[snowinnc]

Got some big ‘ol beautiful flakes here in NW Wake County. I really hope it keeps up, but I’m worried about that nasty sleet line.

Silver dollars coming down

Back out west we were living great with good rates but that sleet line plowed in. Ip/fr now.

Enjoy the flakes!

No kidding! I don’t think I’ve ever seen flakes this big. It’s just so dang beautiful!!!

[WinstonSalemArlington]

Live cams in Winston-Salem show the area is moving from a light snowfall to a moderate accumulation with roads mostly covered and accumulations significant now 

[StantonParkHoya]

We’re at 0.5-0.75 inch an hour rates with fatties

[yotaman]

Had some heavier sleet come down and dropped our temp from 37 to 34. Very light precip coming down now, hard to tell it it is snow or rain. No lights close by to help.

[GaWx]

 There’s been a pretty good amount of ZR here in N Gwinnett that can easily be seen in especially the pines branches, which are leaning noticeably. So far, outages in this area are just a low %. Fortunately, the radar suggests there shouldn’t be too much more rain falling.

[eyewall]

Almost all snow with big flakes in Raleigh now

[btownheel]

Gibsonville kicked it up a notch or two
In the throttle as well. Seeing some dendrites. Score one for Mike Maze.
