Ice, Ice Baby?

Lots of time before this event… Tonight, the best guess for Raleigh is for a little bit of snow — to significant sleet — to significant iceand then rain at the end of the event.

Happy New Year!

I could/should wax poetic over the couple of different scenarios on the table as to our impending winter weather event. However, the main message to convey is that a significant winter storm is likely to impact Raleigh west thru the mountains, beginning early Sunday morning (earlier from the west to east).

As disappointing as it might be for clarity, there’s no need to hypothesize as to scenarios until we get closer in the Fri PM/Sat AM timeframe. Honestly, all solutions are on the table at this point, and we’ll probably waffle back and forth over the next couple days.

Tonight’s read indicates an impactful snow to sleet to freezing rain to rain event in Raleigh. Then, along a gradient as you go west to Greensboro you’ll see an all frozen… more snow, more sleet and freezing rain.

Happy snow-dreaming!
