There was a lot of evaporative cooling, but the moisture content was enough that it knocked the temp all the way down to a dewpoint of 17 degrees in Greensboro around the 25th from a high the previous day of 60. That's very interesting, and that's a lot of moisture to do that. There was some CADing going on as well, but I remember the radar returns out of Chattanooga before the event, and the line between virga and heavy rain was pretty sharp the night before.
Um, I saw that coming from 6-7 days out to occur ... and warned people what to expect regarding that severe Carolinas icestorm ... and many of the associated forecast offices around the Carolinas caught onto the CAD days in advance ... GSP had some of the best discussions during this event ...
