Just started ripping here too!
-
After spending about 5.5hrs in the dry slot/downslope, finally have sleet and snow again
-
Both also have a clipper overnight Wednesday into Thursday. Man no rest for the weary! Haha!
-
I have actually bottomed out at 30 myself. Roads are improving a little but it was sick as could be there for a minute
-
Wow! I know the gfs doesn’t have the greatest storm signal for next week, but snow or not, that is about as impressive of a winter pattern modeled that I’ve ever laid eyes on! Wow! Almost unbelievable
-
Same here Carver I just hope the deform band materializes!
-
In a lull right now but the roads are slushy from the snow and sleet and even believe I had some ZR at the end. Fun while it lasted. There was close to a half in of snow and sleet there at one point.
-
Yes I just saw some ice starting to build up on the road in front of my house. I assume that’s from the sleet mixing in.
-
Got some sleet mixing in here too but the flake size of the snow is very impressive!
-
Just woke up to see it’s snowing and have a nice heavy dusting! Temp is 32.
-
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a low pressure do these kind of movements that the models are spitting out. I mean, a 2 frame increment is 2hrs in real time. So, the low is going to move 150mi due north in 2hrs time only to transfer again later? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a low pressure transfer twice in the same storm. However, that’s what these models are implying. I will have to see it to believe it.
-
That was a killer deform band on the back side of the 12z NAM!
-
Oh I know, I totally get it. It is crazy how they give the southern valley (and really the Central Valley too) the same criteria as SW Virginia and the mtns. I guess that’s how they roll though.
-
It’s got to be because they don’t know what to do, but you’re right. The least they could do would be to issue a hazardous weather statement. I also think according to NWS protocol they don’t usually issue wwa’s this soon. Winter storm watches, yes, advisories, no. Also, HUN and FFC have lower standards than MRX for WSW criteria (2in is all it takes there. It’s 4in here.) so, what would be a warning in AL or GA, here would only be an advisory. These would just be my humble opinions on why they don’t have anything yet.

Excellent posts this morning. I agree Holston, we have had several other storms in the past couple years where the models couldn’t figure out where to run the low pressure centers. Some bounced east of the mtns, some west, and some right up the spine. Until the energy gets sorted out, going to be some bouncing around, but this is nothing we haven’t seen before. Just gotta be patient and see how it plays out. I know it’s hard to do though lol.
-
It’s still coming down moderately now even though the radar says it shouldn’t be this intense. Gotta be below the beam of the radar
-
Wow this last band really does mean business! I’m approaching an inch on the grass and still coming down pretty good nickel sized flakes right now!
-
Getting a decent snow here now as well. Everything is getting white. Looks like I might be approaching the threshold of climbing out of the “dusting” territory haha!
-
12z GFS was brutally cold. The ironic thing is guess what happened in 1985 at the same time frame today’s 12z gfs indicated the brutal cold! Man, 1984-1985 just keeps popping up all over the pace this winter. It may not happen like that, but gotta say it’s uncanny how common these two winters are. For sure a great analog to this year!
-
That looks like the PV coming down into the US to say hi!
-
Like everyone else in the eastern valley, I thought it was over as well before it began, but now we have a fairly heavy dusting on cars and grass. Right before this band hit, there was a couple big gusts of wind for me as well! Right on cue MRX with the SWS lol!
-
Just getting the first flakes right now
-
I’m just barely inside it myself.
-
Looks like it’s winding down for me. I ended up with around 3.5in. A nice event for sure. During the height of the snow around 4:30-5:30 the road in front of my house did get covered but as rates tapered off, it melted pretty fast there. It’s pretty well preserved everywhere else though, and the trees are beautiful! It’s sure been a fun system to track!
-
Wow I went to bed at 12:30 just woke up to a winter wonderland! It’s absolutely ripping right now. I’d say we have close to 1.5-2in on grassy areas! Visibility is pretty close to 0. Awesome!
