triadwx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Looks like someone in Forsyth could be getting a mix according to radar? I had a mix about 20 minutes ago, but it wasn't nothing to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just light now but another band looks like it may be on it's way thru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We've had quite a bit of rain here in Raleigh. At the moment it's raining at 38 degrees. Not quite 33 and rain, but not much better. The first storm that pounded DC last year gave me 1.5" of snow in the morning followed by an entire day of 32.5-33.0 degree rain, so at least this is better than that. Congrats to those seeing snow.

Tullioz Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Light sleet and freezing rain here along the NC/VA border North of Eden. Furniture on the deck already has a light glaze. Temperature is 31.4 with a dew point of 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullioz Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The 00z NAM has my area at 29.5 degrees at 1am and at 7am so everything that falls here should be frozen overnight. This run only gives me .02" compared to the RUC which is around .25". Looking at radar the RUC looks like it will be closer to verifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for keeping a heads up on this event when everyone else wrote it off. I know it wont amount to much, But just a little Ice is bad and may be another school day for the kids ? I think I have a good shot at 30-31 temp wise tonight which would be slick in the morning. 32/27 WB- 30.1 EDIT: It appears I have some snow mixing in temp down to 31.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Interesting temperature profiles tonight. Even with some snow, the cold air around 6200 feet on top of Mount Mitchell is getting shoved out. It was 24 on Mitchell around 7:00pm and has risen to 30.7 at 9:00pm. Grandfather is not reporting. Beech is 27.1 Sugar is at 26 up from 23 at 515pm. Poga Mountain is 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the RUC had a good handle on temps from this morning at 850. It matches nicely with the snow reports over Granite Falls, Lenoir to just west of Hickory. It was actually a close call here too , I'm at 34.4 and the airport 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matched nicely with the 850 zero line, which dipped in N. Cleveland County. It was a very close call here. I'm down to 34.0 now, I'm sure your area is 33 or so. I imagine the Somo's got a nice little snowfall above 1500 with accums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the guard gate me and my friend broke to go to Buzzards Roost LOL. Its in my parents basement. I found a gate pass biking there in the 90's but it only worked one year. Haven't been in several years now. I've scaled the tower on Benn Knob when it was a rickety wooden plank tower, now its only for brave souls like service guys. O/t but yes, my fave. place to view things , you can see the Ski Resorts on Beech Mtn. as well very clearly, as well as all the airports on the valley floor, HKY EHO CLT GSP crystal clear.

Tullioz Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just dropped below 30 degrees here I'm now down to 29.8 with light freezing rain. Even the driveway is glazed over now.
