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

[sak]

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.

yeah i don’t honestly think this will be that big of a deal in my area on the SE side of birmingham. if we get 0.1” of rain (which from radar returns would be ambitious at this point), the roads will be mostly dry tomorrow. a slick spot here or there, yeah, probably… but all roads a sheet of ice? doubt it.

 

[The Bammer]

Sleet falling harder than I've ever seen. Wish it was snow......especially when it's 20 degrees! Accumulating pretty well though on top of the light layer of ice we got earlier.

Down to 27 with light freezing rain. Icing has begun.

Agree. I'm still showing 38 out towards Moody. I see no way it gets wet enough or cold enough here.

It’s 31 off Whites Chapel Rd, and 33/34 in Moody just north of 411. And it’s pushing SE.

It’s also 32 in Branchville and 32 in Leeds

I'm between Leeds and Moody and have 38 on two different thermometers here.

Are you further south/SE towards Logan Martin? Everything else in the Moody/Leeds area is in the 31-34 range.

This is a situation where 15 or 20 miles makes a world of difference.

10pm. Brief round of freezing drizzle, then sleet, now sleet/snow mix. Deck iced then white with sleet on top already, rock patio starting to ice. West Blount county, AL.

 

[Blountwolf]

Pleasantly surprised - a decent amount of snow is mixing in with my sleet.

 

[CSimonds]

25 in Guntersville. All sleet and freezing rain. All surfaces encased in ice now. According to Marshall County EMA - all roads closed.

 

[Richardjacks]

Moderate rain in Crestwood while it's 27°

 

[Blountwolf]

 

[The Colonel]

Zr has moved in and temp has plummeted to 26° in short order

 

[LintLicker919]

It is sleeting or icing…something noisy in Pell City right now. I walked outside and was shocked how quickly the temp had dropped

 

[Equus]

Down to 20° here with rounds of heavy sleet all evening after some light freezing rain earlier; about the heaviest and most persistent sleet I remember

 

[MikeP]

Sitting at 30 and just had a nice freezing rain torrent. Maybe just a little snow/graupel mixed in. Deck is already iced over. That was quick. Wonder if that warm nose is eroding any....

 

[MikeP]

Hmmm.

I would've cheered on snow but given the depth of this cold maybe freezing rain & sleet is OK this time. 8F in Bham is bad enough. Parts of NW AL with all the snow could see -5F, which probably hasn't happened since the 90s if not the 80s. I don't want anything under 5F & not far north of here will probably see it.

Truth - it's currently 9 in Holly Springs, MS where there is the heaviest snow cover.
