I just checked outside and we are getting some very light snow. We're supposed to get another couple of hours of frozen or freezing something. I don't care that much if this ends up totally anticlimactic here.
 
Two hours of sleet in WS is slowing.

Pine tree limbs in the backyard have not bent at all during this event. We ain't there yet, but oh boy...

Same in Clemmons. I guess we’re not totally out of the woods yet, but it seems like we’ll be ok.

Edit: right after I posted this it started flickering a little bit fuuuuck

Precip has ended in NW WS. It's eerie outside--there is not a bit of wind blowing. It's just...cold air. Kind of unusual.

The pine trees ARE bending downward a bit in the back yard. Can touch them, and there is a super slight glaze, but not enough to bend a limb and see ice break off. All things considered, I think for the precip portion of this storm, at least here, we came out good!

Amen on that. The sleet coming thru vs freezing rain was the hero.

It does seem windy here though. The cracking of the ice up in the branches is creepy
 
We had 2 hours of sleet. Pinging and bouncing everywhere.

It’s changed to freezing rain. Temp is 26. If this holds up, we’re fucked.
 
All done here now

As long as the wind stays calm we escaped
Yea. Since my last post, precipitation has stopped completely.

It’s up to 27 degrees. Air outside almost feels humid and balmy. Hoping the temps go up to 33-35……not sure if that’s possible. Just hoping they do.
