Freezing Rain in Parkton (Robeson County) and power out as of 2:12 am

[CentralNC]

Final tally in Lewisville was 2 inches.  25 degrees and starry skies.

[eyewall]

Definitely had a solid amount of ice overnight with the trees looking quite glassy.

[Spidyr2k]

Not one single flake seen.  About .125" ice glaze, thankfully no power loss(<knocks on wood).

Don’t have a great scientific answer for you about the warm noses. It’s just been very difficult of late to get an old school true Miller A type of system. 
 

Regarding Atlanta, they got lucky that the forcing set up where it did. Good for them. Just absolute luck of the draw with how this system unfolded.

 

Seems like a while since we had a solid MA punching up snow...anyone remember the last solid MA that yielded a lot of snow?

Atlanta picked up 2.1" of snow yesterday. That broke the daily mark of 1.3" from 1953. It was also Atlanta's biggest snowstorm since January 16-17, 2018. In addition, Birmingham picked up 2.0" of snow. The last time both cities saw 2.0" or more snowfall in the same storm was December 8-9, 2017. Finally, Augusta also saw 1.0" of snow. The last time Atlanta, Augusta, and Birmingham all saw 1.0" or more snow in the same storm was February 12-13, 2014.

We picked up 0.6” snow/sleet before the switch. I stink at measuring ice but looks like 0.15”-0.20” somewhere round there. 31.1 and pretty out despite the mixed bag. We cannot buy a snowstorm

Why do we have such issues with warm noses? I don’t get it. Like why it can’t it just snow six+ inches for once like it used to back in the old days without all of these mixing issues? And how Atlanta got more snow than I did is absolutely baffling. 

Cause we aren't puppies with cold noses??? . Didn't check my board but looks like we got about an inch of snow then half inch of sleet. No sign of fr.

I am waiting for it to get light enough to take drone shots of the icy trees

Sounds like a glacier

So me being a dumbass, didn't realize there was an OBS thread.... I am 40 miles south of ATL, wound up with around 1/2" to an 1" snow/sleet, then it flipped to freezing rain all afternoon until around 10 pm last night. Everything was glazed over with a decent amount of ice. Fortunately we stayed at 32 overnight, most of the ice is gone, but whatever snow we had is just about gone too. I expect it will all be gone by this afternoon. Nice little storm, more than anyone has had in a while. We should all be thankful.

More zr in the triangle than I expected to  be honest. Nam/gfs were too warm aloft for the lat couple days but did call the changeover. A blend of the euro and gfs would have worked pretty well.

[HKY_WX]

Roxboro got 3 to 4. Snow capital of the "triangle".

[NorthHillsWx]

At least it stayed well below freezing through the storm and my road was completely covered before the switch to freezing rain. Doesn’t do anything to quench snow thirst.

[calculus1]

Finished with a final tally of 2 inches, mostly snow, here in Hickory.

[marsman]

.5" snow/sleet before the freezing rain pushed it down. Clouds clearing, temp at 31.2 and climbing.

We will have our day at some point in time. I got about an inch but it’s not down some now due to the ZR.

This is about right for us, maybe 1.5 inches prior to sleet compaction. Gonna melt quickly in sun today but roads are a sheet of white ice here right now. Great for sledding.

Yeah, anywhere the roads are shady. It’s not going anywhere.
