BullCityWx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Heavy band of a mixture of sleet and snow here in Western Lincoln County. Radar shows a gap, possibly more in about another 15 minutes or so. Vale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriadDeac Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 After about a 20 minute lull light snow has picked back up. Little over an inch now. Ditto here in High Point 26.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalba Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Heavy band of a mixture of sleet and snow here in Western Lincoln County. Radar shows a gap, possibly more in about another 15 minutes or so. Has it reached you yet? Wondering how heavy that band is.. Looks like its heading to me after. 850 temps are just barely at 0c or below.. by looking at this map. Pretty close to going over to sleet here.

Marion_NC_WX Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Freezing drizzle and 26 degrees...that's your nightmare scenario, folks. With the cold air progged to come down this is going to end up being one of the longest-lasting 4 inch snowstorms McDowell County has seen in a long while.

QC_Halo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Question for you experts. Looks like the precip just kind of starts forming around I-26. Is this going to continue or is what the radar is currently showing everything we can expect. Or am i all wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyes2theskies Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Getting a pretty decent coating of ice on things here. Freezing rain been coming down at a good clip for a while now. Hopefully this stops soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritsnc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Really coming down at I-40 and I-440 in Raleigh http://www.wral.com/...97/#/vid6763297 Wow...doesn't take much to create traffic problems does it? I ran into numerous wrecks on the way home today...one truck completely flipped upside down. We have about 1/2 inch here. I'm right on the line between Kernersville and Winston-Salem. It was mainly freezing rain for a few minutes and now it's all snow again. DH just went out and said roads are pretty slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I agree dan. Had some heavy ip and no some fr is setting in..... Freezing drizzle and 26 degrees...that's your nightmare scenario, folks. With the cold air progged to come down this is going to end up being one of the longest-lasting 4 inch snowstorms McDowell County has seen in a long while. The last time I had a good solid snow with a little sleet it was back in Boone in 02. Had some great sledding that night. So, heading out to do some long driveway ice sledding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triadwx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Still getting heavy snow, surprised it hasn't changed over to sleet or freezing rain yet..hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Girl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Between 3-5pm I got my ground covered back up in Sanford with a nice blanket of about 2 inches maybe a tad more. It is nice to not have the grass sticking out anymore. now we are having FZ Rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Just went for a walk outside. We've got around 1/8 inch of freezing rain over the last several hours on top of the 6 inches of snow. I have NEVER seen the roads this bad around here. It is a skating rink out there right now. I couldn't imagine anybody, regardless of vehicle, making it very far tonight without ending up stuck in a ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 still mostly snow here...quite surprised actually. Nice sized flakes sticking nicely to the layer of sleet already down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NEVER seen the roads this bad around here. It is a skating rink out there right now. I couldn't imagine getting anybody, regardless of vehicle, making it very far tonight without ending up stuck in a ditch. Yeah we're still getting some freezing drizzle here and roads are awful. My friend said some of the main secondary roads were plowed earlier today, and that any plowed roads are smooth sheets of ice now. My street still has 3-4" of snow on it so it isn't completely impassable for now (though I tried and failed to make it up in a 2WD vehicle).

wolfpackmet Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 That heavy band of freezing rain and sleet is moving in. Been watching the same bush for the last couple of hours and it has a heavy coating and a nice lean to it now. Roads are nearly impassable in Northern Mecklenburg with the freezing rain on top. Will be worse by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triadwx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Still heavy snow. Getting a little past 3" now. I'm quite surprised, but I'm loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 See a couple of red taggers in here, what you guys think about temps tomorrow. They're going with the 32..but with a snow pack any of you think we will make it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Light glaze on the trees here in Cotswold. I can hear traffic on Sharon Amity and that still seems wet but neighborhood streets and driveways are glazing over. It's kind of crunchy right now on top of the snow but not far from being very slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be worse by morning. Yep everything has a nice glaze on it here in south CLT. About to go walk around and see how the streets are. Mine were snow covered...but enough cars went on it to clear it enough to be easily drivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QC_Halo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Radar looks like its going to be clear in CLT after this particular band. Thats probably a good thing. Its getting icy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanc2001 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Excerpt From the State paper in Columbia, SC The National Weather Service indicate this will rank in the top 10 of January snowfalls in Columbia history and could end up in the top 20 overall snowfalls. The 10 a.m. totals don’t indicate the official total at Columbia Metropolitan Airport, but readings in several areas near the airport are in the range of four inches. Some others in the Midlands are as high as six inches. Columbia has had as much as four inches only six times in January, according to National Weather Service statistics kept since 1887. Heavy snowfalls are more common in February, but four-plus inches has fallen in a day only about 10 times in that month. Columbia has had official snowfalls of 1.5 inches or more only 45 times in 124 years. Three of the 45 have been in the past 12 months.

eyewall Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 See a couple of red taggers in here, what you guys think about temps tomorrow. They're going with the 32..but with a snow pack any of you think we will make it there? Well ZR releases latent heat into the air so it can be self limiting unless there is CAA. The surface source of cold won't really be there tomorrow so it will start to be impacted then. More so my way but you may see 32 tomorrow.
