chapelhillwx Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Super big-looking storm about to hit us here in Chapel Hill. Wish I could post radar but I'm at school -- it's suddenly very dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 As quick as the rain came, it left in a matter of a few minutes but has left things feeling pretty cool-ish. Clouds are beginning to break up quickly back west Short-lived but enough to cause standing water in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ridge Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The snow level is dropping to around 3000' in Tennessee. Meanwhile, rain continues to fall and streams/creeks continue to swell. I've not seen a late winter/early spring with so many consecutive "close calls" in the flooding department as this year. If this active pattern continues, the next 2"+ event would spell huge trouble for many of the mountain communities in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Judging by the radar the Gregory Bald to Thunderhead area of the smokies should be getting pounded right now. Look Rock is 34 degrees and the camera is obscured. Purchase Knob is 31 and you can see the snow off in the distance. I'd love to be camped up at Sheep Pen Gap right now.

NGTim Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 looks like Beech mountain is getting hammered on the slopes http://www.highcountrywebcams.com/webcameras_BeechSlopeside2.htm the view is somewhat obscured but you can see the flakes raining down.

Blue Ridge Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Snow level has hit 2000 ft in Northeast Tennessee. It looks like I'm in for an interesting night once the sun sets and temperatures crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGTim Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 no snow here in Dahlonega (1500 ft), but if I look toward the mountains around Suches (3000 ft), the clouds have that signature that usually means it is snowing up there. Wish we had someone in that area to give an obs. Congrats to yall in the High Country. looks like you are getting a good March snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I ended up with 1.2 inches, Now I need a few dry days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This is the biggest piece of a let-down, over-hyped storm I can remember in some time. Once again, the heavy rain and severe weather for Central NC found a way not to happen, after being advertised for days in virtually every model. Interrupted moisture transport, no instability, etc. worked to create yet another ordinary run of the mill rain event. That great, because we need the rain, but a dynamic, once in a few years storm, it was not...not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCBlizzard Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 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. I was actually in Shelby when it came through, and it was hailing like crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
