nchighcountrywx Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ray has a well fitting headline on his forecast for this weekend and early next week. Prep Time for a Rough Saturday Night through Tuesday Ray's Forecast for Avery County This one needs to be taken very seriously. You can easily get yourself in a tight spot if you are not prepared.

Blue Ridge Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 10.7 here this a.m.. Some snow covered areas east of here were below zero! Tazewell, Va hit -4. Get out. Really? That should not be terribly surprising to me, though; Southwest Virginia seems to always have the lowest readings of this region (outside of the highest terrain). I would love to have seen what WCYB had to say about the temperatures this morning. Unfortunately, I am not feeling well and slept in, therefore missing the morning news.

Blue Ridge Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You've got to get better so you can go play in the snow! I was in the snow quite a bit this weekend. Two trips to Madison County (one during the height of the snow on Sunday) A couple more to the higher elevations of Unicoi County Sledding in several different spots Several walks around town Walking around campus in the snow Monday and Tuesday (ahhh, college) Come to think of it, my activity this weekend is likely what caused the problems I'm experiencing.

SBUWX23 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Here are impressive numbers for the first 9 days in December for RDU and GSO. The first 9 days averaged -10.3 degrees below normal at RDU. This happened even with Dec. 1 hitting 70 degrees. For GSO, the first 9 days have averaged -10.1 degrees below average. Now that is impressive Folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I just realized just how cold this past week has been IMBY. Last weekend, we had .6" of snow. The house next door (unoccupied) still has a thin coating on about half its' roof this morning (the north facing side) - and there's a small shaded area in our back yard that still has a very thin crust of snow. Kinda hard to believe that such a minimal amount is still visible 6 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hard to believe that such a minimal amount is still visible 6 days later. I remember the early January event last year dropped a bit under an inch here. With temps in the teens during the afternoon the day after the event and around freezing the day after that I was unable to make it out of my shaded, steep driveway for 2 full days. From less than an inch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From less than an inch! had an inch here as well with that event. it lasted for over one week maybe even close to 2? i had snow on the ground (granted, maybe only in the shade at times) for 3-4 weeks, highly unusual in ga!

suzannah Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I'm new to posting (far more lurking). Most days feel like I need a secret decoder ring to decipher the posts, but I've learned a lot. This probably needs to go to a different thread, but I'm not sure which one- question: Rome is consistently in a screw zone. More often than not, if there is snow in NW GA, NE AL you can literally drive 30 miles in any direction and find measurable accumulation without a trace amount in the county. I've asked locals, but no one knows enough about weather for a reasonable answer. I saw a post or two back at Eastern... but didn't really understand them.

IIRC they got close to 2'. Obviously not your run of the mill storm, however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not your run of the mill storm, however No- I moved here in 97. It took about ten years before most folks wanted to see snow again- now most are in agreement that we are long overdue!

Marion_NC_WX Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Per lookout's request...I'll get the obs rolling again on this arctic chill across the Southeast. After a low of 22.4, we have struggled to 27 degrees at noon-thirty. I don't think we'll get much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 17.2 & still light to moderate snow falling. GSP forecast high of 20.....Don't think we will make it. We have had some tremendous winds this AM. No idea how much snow we have had today as there is really no place to take a decent measurement.

lilj4425 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Up to 31 degrees here with party cloudy skies and a moderate breeze around 10mph or so. Actually, it's a little warmer than I thought it was going to be. Oh and we have a WINNER.

isohume Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Cool to see Dr. Perry's 3-hr sounding data for this last event. As you can see...the last 12 hrs had higher SLRs than the previous 12 hrs, which can be directly related in part to the avg temps in the sfc/850 layer. The NAM and the GFS both predicted these SLR values very well. Flat Springs SLR (13/13z) 12 HR: 22:1 24 HR: 16:1 Warren Wilson Soundings AVG SFC/850 T L12 HR: -11.1 P12 HR: -6.0 3-HR Change 13/14Z SFC/850 T: -9.2/-15.2, Avg: -12.2 13/11Z SFC/850 T: -9.2/-14.7, Avg: -11.9 13/08Z SFC/850 T: -7.9/-13.6, Avg: -10.7 13/05Z SFC/850 T: -6.7/-12.9, Avg: -9.8 13/02Z SFC/850 T: -7.2/-12.6, Avg: -9.8 12/23Z SFC/850 T: -6.4/-12.1, Avg: -9.2 12/20Z SFC/850 T: -1.9/-8.2, Avg: -5.0 12/17Z SFC/850 T: 2.6/-2.2, Avg: -0.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Temps already dropping along the escarpment...down to 25. I'm betting on single digits tonight if the wind can lay just enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby airport down to 28 after a high temp of 30. Charlotte is 30 after a high of 32. We would have been a few degrees colder here, but the lee trough held in place for quite a while this morning. Here was my call from Friday morning, I posted in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at home but the nearest station is reporting a high of 27 so far. Atlanta is at 27 currently. Very impressive cold...it's hard to get temps to stay in the 20s here without a blanket of snow.

UNCCmetgrad Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Reached a high of 31.7 here just after 1pm then leveled off for awhile. Temperature has since been slowly falling and is now 29.1 degrees. Thinking we should reach 13-15 or even colder if winds slacken off a bit.
