SN_Lover Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 System looks impressive from the TV. Wish NC's Piedmont got snow. Anyways to reiterate what I said last night (below). Did I specify a location? Obviously higher elevations locations that have had previous freezes would have snowfall ratios higher than lower elevations. Did I say it would not stick? I just said that snowfall ratios would be effected. There are also other factors that would enhance or reduce rates. Ill just post in the future in a way that others don't take my posts literally. "Also keep in mind ground temperatures are still relatively warm, so a couple of inches could be lost to melting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Wow, Craig! Beautiful shots. Is your power back on? Drizzle now and just hit 33 again. Yes, we only had the one brief outage so far. The pictures don't really do the scene justice. The combination of snow and the fall colors is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Remarkable given its late Oct - even more so low 30s in the DAYTIME. Remains to be seen what winter will be like - Oct 79 we got an inch of snow but I don't even remember winter of 79-80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Just took a drive up the mountain. Probably the tightest elevation gradient I have seen. 350'-500' it is snowing, but only about .5-1" on the grass. 500-900' snowing at a good clip and sticking to everything (highway included above ~700') with probably 1.5"-2" around 500-60' up to 3-4" at 800-900'. Above 900' the snow is rockin'....probably 4" at 900' up to about 5-6" at 1100'. Highways are a mess going over south mountain as well. Even in the valleys over south mtn (middletown, etc) there is 2-3". I didn't go higher than about 1100' because it was getting a bit perilous. I forgot the camera....sorry.

TalcottWx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 at least he didn't cancel the storm based on a dry slot 4 hours ago Always classic when people spin a post that says its going to dry out some and precip is going to become more spotty behind the punch (which it did, nothing fell for almost an hour and half here) into storm cancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 High temp today here was 36...way back just after midnight I guess....it has been below freezing the entire daylight hours...amazing for December or January much less October...pouring snow now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Snow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Recently moved to Louisville, Ky to go back to school but have thoroughly enjoyed watching this system! Never remember seeing flakes in October or November along the bay in my 24 years. Looks like this one is going to go out with a bang given that deform band rotating through the metro areas! Totally awesome! Remember... it's freaking October people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
