shaggy Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Pleasantly surprised to see .41" in the gauge this morning. About twice what the radar estimates show. We didn't do nearly as good this far east. Ended up with a measely .10 overnight. It puts me just above the .50 mark from the storm the other day and this one so far combined. Hoping afternoon convection kicks my totals up a notch but right now we are way behind on totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This is the kind of rain thats perfect to seep into the grounds. Very light to occasionally moderate yesterday, and steady. More showers this morning...sitting at .83". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 ended up with a storm total of 2.76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGTim Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Total for the event here at at SW Dahlonega was 3.29 (6.69 month to date). GA-LP-1 NW of me got 3.64 (7.52 month to date). Moto, you need to become ga-lp-4. so we have the Dahlonega NE covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGTim Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Beech Mountain should hit 130"+ for the year by tomorrow, but they are closing Sunday. Anybody think they can get a couple more big spring lows to cutoff and get them up to 150? 160" would be about 200% of normal. That is Fred's parking lot and my red Powerstroke snow chaser in my pic Edit. I just found that the record for one year at beech is 137.6 (according to http://www.averycounty.com/relocation-info/climate) and that was 2009/10, so I think 140 or 150 might be hard to come by, but a new record seems to be not out of the question.

eyewall Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Breaks of sun are occurring in central nc. We shall see how this factors in to any severe chances. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNCCmetgrad Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Not terribly impressed by radar this morning. Think I might get another tenth of an inch which would put me over the 1" mark. Disappointing considering what models showed just 36 hours ago, but starting out the first 10 days March with over 2" of rain isn't bad at all. Just hope we don't pull another 20+ day stretch of no rainfall like last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Total for the event here at at SW Dahlonega was 3.29 (6.69 month to date). GA-LP-1 NW of me got 3.64 (7.52 month to date). Moto, you need to become ga-lp-4. so we have the Dahlonega NE covered. I had thought about that but then I would have to do the 4" gauge thing every morning. My VP2 has made me lazy. LOL. I wish they would let me use VP2 data but I might just have to bite the bullet and join.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Yokel Wx Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Happy to report pea sized sleet in Clyde, NC at HCC (roughly 2300'). Winds are picking up to 15 - 20mph out of the west north west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 We just had a rain/sleet shower here at the office. About a 50/50 mix but it only lasted a minute. Edit: I work inside the perimeter in Smyrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Sun seems to be poking out now here. Sitting at 56°. Looks like the additional rainfall has finished me with a grand total of .58". Definitely not what the models were spitting out but it's something worth keeping I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 as expected the new development is just to my east. Also a batch of heavy rain formed in the South Mountains just below Marion, so the Boone-Charlotte rule worked out. The June-July convective pattern works out almost exactly the same. P. sunny and very windy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I just drove to Lincolnton for work and the sky is as black as youd see with a very severe thunderstorm. I'm just barely getting clipped by those line of storms. I have a few very large drops falling, about 10 feet apart. The cam is ready just in case I get lucky with a hailer.

UNCCmetgrad Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just got back home, saw a few impressive looking cumulus off to my west and northwest and what do you know, radar is lighting up around Cleveland, Lincoln, and Catawba counties. Hoping the southern portion of this holds together through Gaston county. Currently up to 61 here with WSW winds around 11mph gusting to 22mph.

Gastonwxman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Looks like that area of showers southeast of Shelby is heading toward my house here. It's been developing bit by bit since it first showed up. EDIT (3:20): Breezy showers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
