MotoWeatherman Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 dawsonwx looks to be in (or about to be in) a pretty good band. Its still just steady snow...nothing heavy. Tiny flakes now but they were quarter size ones not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Man, this is unreal. I must be going to get a super storm soon. I'm once again in a dry slot, and this one starts just a few miles to my west and is only as wide as my county. To get dry slotted every storm this winter while Atl gets many inches....... The weather gods must be saving me for a huge sleet hammer...........or I've been very, very bad. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 seems like the radars are starting to misbehave like the models do lol steady snow with a dusting so far Isn't that the truth. I didn't expect any snow until the "real" returns got here. This has truly been wild the last hour or so. I'll be honest, I love seeing rain change to snow/phase transition events. Always been fascinated by it and this was sort of the perfect one...not enough rain to hurt anything but just enough to see the pleasure of seeing it go from all snow, to a mix with rain, then back to snow. I have just a few flurries (even a little mist) right now but I'm about to get into the real thing for good, I hope. That's a nice area of snow near atlanta and check out that blob in alabama heading this way. Maybe that's what the ruc has been picking up on lately. In fact, check out the latest ruc. It really looks like it hammers the atlanta to athens area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Still not even a flurry with solid precip shield. thats about it for us I'm afraid. I thought all along the downslope would indeed win out here, and it was a very close call for sure, but now I can see the elements crashing immediately with the downward momentum coming off the mountains east of Asheville. Thats the kiss of death here for precip. Just to our east though could still snag a few hours of snow, but its a done deal here, save for a couple flurries.

Another screw job can't win here for nothing. The weather gods are just messing with us now. Bring on Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Another screw job can't win here for nothing. The weather gods are just messing with us now. Bring on Summer well it never looked good anyway, only at the last minute did we get a little hopeful thanks to the RUC, but I held very reserve on that thanks to the unique setup. In the end, we need excellent moisture and lift here but the front coming in from TN was just too quick at the midlevels , and that momentum hit exactly at the time the moisture was just about to arrive from GA. You can see it plainly on the long range radar animations. I don't think this is it for Winter. We'll probably have a system in March, the way the amplified pattern keeps returning.

LovingGulfLows Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 No accumulations yet in downtown Atlanta....Sickening to see snow fall without accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingcrosbyb Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Looks like I'm going to finish up with right @ 2-2.25" as this last band moves through Birmingham. Total for the year is an amazing 4.5". Climatology is usually around 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Looks like it's filling in over central NC...***FWIW*** Greg Fishel said we can be pretty much doomed here soon around 11, now at 12 he seems a little optimistic about the radar returns...we shall see.

mst87 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Snowing here now.. a light fluffy snow too which is a nice change from the heavy wet stuff we usually get in the Southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwiwx Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Showers, some ice pellets mixed in through the evening. Hoping to take my daughter to the circus tomorrow morning in Raleigh or play in maybe an inch of snow. When I asked her what she wanted to do, she said go to the circus. It's circus or 4" of snow or more to make her happy, much like a lot of folks on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Dsaur, You should be getting something soon out of the heavy returns developing to your sw. Yeah, thanks...I've been getting snow mixing in for the last few minutes. I hate these systems are doing us like this. All northern end weighted so we get slotted until the final line moves through. Started after the drought when we started getting rain, and up along the border would get pounded for a day and a half with trains from the slow moving front, and we'd be sunny until the last dregs dragged through Still, I think the gods have something special for us...and I hope it isn't a huge zstorm, lol.

weatherfide Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Good rates now, 32.7. If we could drop another degree, we might get about an inch out this before it's all said and done. About 1/4" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNCCmetgrad Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Kinda strange how it starts snowing in places north and east of charlotte before it actually starts in charlotte. Looks like there is a moderate to maybe heavy band setting up just southeast of Charlotte. That is saturating the column at a much rapid rate than surrounding areas allowing snow to reach down all the way to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
