Sorry to keep this short again tonight, so let’s cut to the chase…
This storm has gone sideways in several ways. I love trying to figure it out!
For Raleigh, my current thinking is 2-3″ of sleet/snow (more sleet than snow by far) with an additional 1/2″ of freezing rain. One of the surprises has been the later evolution of the storm… It’s quite possible that we may not see appreciable precipitation begin until late afternoon on Saturday.
At 1/4″ of ice accrual widespread power outages begin. We’re expecting at least double that. Make plans to lose power. Figure out how to stay warm as temps will drop to single digits following the storm. Charge your batteries so they’re ready to power mobile phones.
Again, down the road maybe we have more winter weather to deal with… snow showers on Thursday and another storm for next weekend?
