Winter Weather/Extreme Cold Threat 1/13-1/17

Taking the old man chihuahua out to force him to potty against his will because he hates the cold. Temp on phone says 31. Still hear stuff falling. Have absolutely no idea what type of precip though.
I’m wearing a jacket and a blanket because I too hate cold.

The HRRR is drastically underdoing intensity

I wonder if the difference is just that you're seeing the sleet returns in the live. The simulated won't bright band like that, maybe? Actually that's a question for someone more in the weeds of operational meteorology than me. Anyone?

I should stress my neighborhood has one crappy streetlight and it’s not close enough to decipher what I’m hearing. Could be ice. Could be large spiders. No clue. Oh yeah I’m just north of Northport in Tuscaloosa county for frame of reference.

Likely light rain - that will soon freeze, because most of Tuscaloosa county is below freezing now.
 
Stay safe everyone. Im up bright and early to see what mess there is if there is one. My work is still requiring me to coming in so I imagine they'll call or text early telling everybody to not come in if the roads are awful

Looking at bmx radar, the bright band is 5600 feet up, which is above above freezing my guess is its actually melting snow causing the brighter band
 
Just gonna temporarily take up residence in this thread wishing I had some snow to go around... instead, we have boring clear skies with high temps in the mid 60s to low 70s - that I can't take advantage of because my work hours are in the morning when it's colder. Crossing my fingers for late this week/early next week though...

8pm. Absolutely miserable setup.

I would take that over the ice we are currently receiving

Understandable. We certainly don't have much experience with ice storms over here either. Our town can handle a couple inches of the white stuff no problem, but last year's winter storm was flat out excessive.

But to think that if we did get a significant ice storm - since the nearby Cajon Pass handles snow as badly as it does, how would it handle an ice storm? Base to Caltrans, gonna need major cleanup on I-15, 1,000 vehicle pileup and every single car exploded.
 
OK, 540 line - the line of yucky precip is about 10 miles from my house. Time to come in the back door and change this all over to snow. No? Really? Dang. OK.

Freezing line is essentially 20/59 at the moment per tempest station maps

Will have to hope for more development over S MS at this point. I’m sure it will be slick tomorrow AM in Bham metro, but we’re going to need some more development soon.
