1/10-11 super awesome winter SE OBS thread

[Cheeznado]

The 3" of snow this AM was neat, but now the downside- there was .3 or so of ZR afterwards, so recently lost power. 887 separate outages in GA so not expecting it to be restored anytime soon.

33/28 and a light mixture of rain and sleet

Looks like some heavy back to Hickory. Any obs there?

Solid sleet. Got a few flakes mixed in, but it looks about over. Way underperformed here, but it was nice to watch fall all afternoon.

Ended up with an inch of snow and some sleet on top.

[jburns]

Getting too old for this.  I got all excited because I thought I had 35.75” of snow and then realized I had the yardstick upside down.

 

[cbmclean]

Light snow in Wilson.

[kvegas-wx]

1.75" on the board and now raining sleet.  Not at all what I expected this far north tonight in the triad.

Back to mostly sleet in Raleigh. Definitely rate dependent.

Areas affected...portions of central and northern South Carolina into central North Carolina

Concerning...Freezing rain

Valid 102334Z - 110330Z

SUMMARY...Heavier freezing rain rates will continue to spread into northern South Carolina into central North Carolina through the evening hours. .06 inch/3 hour rates are expected.

DISCUSSION...Low-level warm-air advection continues to intensify across GA into SC ahead of an approaching mid-level trough. While a wintry mix is ongoing across central portions of NC into SC, the continued WAA in the 850-700 mb layer will encourage freezing rain to become the predominant mode of wintry precipitation into the evening hours, as evident via 22Z RAP forecast soundings and 23Z mesoanalysis. Surface observations depict an increase in freezing rain already underway across northern SC into central NC, with heavier ice accretion rates likely this evening. Furthermore, high-resolution model guidance also shows a high likelihood of .06 in/3 h ice accretion rates, especially in the 00-06Z time frame.

Sleet-fest in Pffafftown/Old Town 

[BornAgain13]

I see a dry slot around Asheville. Anyone near there confirm or is that supposed to fill back in?

[olafminesaw]

The HRRR does seem to have a good handle on the sleet line right now and pushes it back south in an hour or two. A possiblity anyway, not sure that I would expect it

[Tullioz]

1.75" so far just west of Eden. Moderate snow now.  25.9°/25.1° 

[snowinnc]

Still light snow in NW Wake County, but it sounds like a matter of time until the sleet fest starts. I was hoping for all snow for a few more hours.

It's filling back in a bit.

What would be the mechanism or dynamic pushing it back?

34/23 up the road here in Greenville, NC. Notice that heavy stuff on radar heading our way. We about to get a sleet bomb? 

[WXNewton]

Turning back to a really fine snow here in Newton. If the radar will fill back in as that moisture in Tennessee moves through I believe we will see a little more snow.

[eyewall]

And back to snow

 

[frazdaddy]

28/ moderate sleet here

I have no idea, all the Mets on Twitter seem to think once it changes over it will be all sleet. But the Hires NAM has the same progression, so I wouldn't totally discount it

Steady snowfall in Eden, NC

It must be rate dependent. Still snow in N Raleigh. 

[yotaman]

Back to all sleet here.Can hear it pinging off the window.

[NorthHillsWx]

Changed over to sleet but back to snow here for now

[StantonParkHoya]

Back to fatties
