phil882 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 That band is moving through rather quickly. Looks like my roommate's hometown (Hendersonville, NC) is seeing a nice bit of snow. Yep... most of henderson county is getting in on this system. Heavy Snow now... visibility is way down at 3/4 of a mile... about 1/2" on the ground at the moment. I'm thinking we will get around 1"-1.5" when this part of the system is over. Temp: 30.7 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 1/4 S+ in Woodfin (just north of Asheville) - never sleeted here, rapidly approaching an inch. Ahh so you decided to come up and snow chase... you are actually pretty close to my location. And wow... there must have been significantly less WAA than expected, because not only did we hit our wetbulb, but have since passed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Heavy Snow continuing... visibility down to 1/4 of a mile or less... blowing snow, roads completely covered. Have about 1" on the ground now and its piling up fast. 1-2" an hour snowfall rates! Temp: 30.6 degrees. This is more than I could have hoped for... I can now die happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the NAM is verifying with flying colors in regards to the precip rates. At this point, it looks like our totals might be more like 2-3" Temp: 30.6 degrees.

phil882 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Things are stating to calm down here on the NW side of Asheville. The snowfall rate has decreased although there is still a lot of blowing and drifting. Temperature is also starting to rise, since the front hasn't actually passed yet. I think we might get a touch above freezing as we get close to dawn, with things dropping off quickly as the front pushes though. Current Conditions: Light Snow... prob around 1 mile visibility. Flakes have decreased in size. Temp: 30.9 degrees Dewpoint: 30.7 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well, I woke up expecting to see a foot of snow here in Altanta... oh wait... that was just a dream! The cold air hasn't reached here yet. The rain is just exiting, we ended up with about .65 in the CoCoRaHS gauge. Temps are pretty steady at 39 degrees and the wind is calm. So now I sit and wait on the wrap-around mother load (which will never come) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Amazing! It started here about three hours ago, and has already accumulated almost 3 inches. It NEVER rained!
