EmersonGA Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 One of the coolest tornadoes I saw was in Tate,Ga about ten years ago. The damage roughly followed 53 and it looked like the tornado was ricocheting (misspelled Im sure) back and forth between mountains/hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I was on I-40/85 earlier between Greensboro and Burlington and the rain rates were were maddening. I think the visibility was down to 100-150 ft. there for a minute or two. Very hard to drive in that! Fortunately, it didn't last long. I see that KGSO recorded .33" of rain that hour (.42" of rain overall). KRDU got screwed out of this event, like usual, only recording 0.05"...

Cheeznado Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Not much talk about Monday- good squall line will be timed for once to come through here in the afternoon. Expect at least some thunder, and cannot rule out severe wind gusts despite the weak instability current shown on the models, I will take a decent thunderstorm at this point and maybe we can squeeze out another .5" of rain or so, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Today's rain: RDU .05" GSP .09" CLT .03" Shelby .04" This area from GSP to CLT and my area is around 5.5 to 6.5" of precip for the 3 month period starting December 1st...a very dry Winter here. Unfortunately, the next front looks about as dry for the Carolinas Monday. Dynamics will be weakening and a tenth or less is likely east of the mountains, while areas in Ga and west of the Apps are the recipients of much better dynamics. Situation is getting worse quickly now with drying winds and virtually no rain in sight for the Carolinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has seemed wetter than that. ... and while I'm typing, it has seriously cooled off. With the wind, it is the 1st day to feel like winter in a while.

Lee Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wound up with a storm total of 2.75 inches here. Reports of 3-3.5 " in parts of the county. Much of that fell Thursday morning creating some flash flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 between yesterday and today we had about inch and a half yeah it always looked a lot better for nw of I-40 and around the edges of the Carolinas. The next event looks similar, with more around the edges. The ECMWF has trace amounts around the Triangle with .25" in CLT to GSP (which is probably overdone) and more toward VA and TN again.

FoothillsNC Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 today is the 7 year anniversary of the big one. I was on the western edge of the good stuff, received 10" and it snowed nearly 24 consecutive hours but was a midday break. Its the last major snowfall that was forecast ahead of time and actually occurred....the only other major snow was somewhat underforecast and several major forecast snows didn't pan out. It was a dream snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a dream snowstorm. Recall that one very well. I remember Eric T saying someone would get 15+ inches of snow the night before and everyone in the channel 3 studio laughed at him. They weren't laughing when Rock Hill got 20+ inches. That was a well forcasted storm and a fun one to witness. Got 12 inches IMBY and still felt a little left out. Would have loved to be in the sweet spot for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the last major snowfall that was forecast ahead of time and actually occurred....the only other major snow was somewhat underforecast and several major forecast snows didn't pan out. It was a dream snowstorm. This takes me back to when I was just about to become a teenager. I kept a watchful eye on radar of the incoming system the day before it hit. The latest from the TV mets were expecting significant totals while the event unfolds. Eric Thomas in particular had to keep increasing his totals with each update and warned us that we could easily get over a foot. Needless to say, that verified for some of us (like my area) while an area just south of Charlotte saw a whopping 22" (I believe that was Fort Mill if I'm not mistaken)! One can only dream that we can get into that kind of excitement again. Perhaps if it happened again, you might get lucky with something over a foot Robert haha.

EmersonGA Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ahh yes the 2004 big one. I got an inch of snow that was so wet I didnt bother playing in it. It was almost brown snow from the mud underneath it. I drove up to north GA to find deeper snow but it was all the same. I didnt start following Eastern until later that year so I had no clue that parts of NC got hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 We're going to freaking torch out ahead of the cold front Monday. WAA will be in full force and we'll probably make a run at 80. Strong WAA at the surface and aloft: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Looks like a slight chance of severe Wx Monday but probably not much in the way of rain accumulation for the Carolinas east of the mountains. However the next event next weekend has more promise to deliver much needed rains here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thundersnow was awesome as it lasted a full hour during which I measured 4+ inches. I lived not too far from Mint Hill.I was off Albemarle Rd close to 485.That sounds about right with 4" during the thundersnow event.I had cleaned off the front steps so my husband could get in the house and not even an hour later the snow was piled back up on the steps.My daughter had just turned 2 a couple weeks before and the snow came up well above her knees.That was not a fun time for her.lol.
