I'd say I'm at about a half an inch so far today. The ground is pretty well covered. All from flurries and light snow showers! No real snow on the radar over me at any point....though some blue is finally moving in now. And the wind is making for quite a show!

Question for the mets here...does evaporative cooling still happen once youre well below freezing? I know sublimation can happen, but does it have the same cooling effect as when liquid water evaporates? Just wondering why I've been at a temperature well above my dewpoint all day with constant snow flurries.

DaculaWeather and I have both observed this effect I think. Earlier today I would drop up to a degree or so during the heavier snow with dewpoints rising correspondingly.

Yes... we're in a bit of panic mode down here in Tampa, FL with this arctic push. Outlying areas of the Tampa metro will likely drop to 19 - 24 Monday Night and cripple strawberry crop, tropical fish farms we have let alone much of our less than hardy vegetation to subfreezing weather... many varieties of palms.

Enjoy the dusting to inch of snow locally this evening into early tonight.

congrats. pics/ you near Asheboro?

12 miles or so west. Still snowingsteady &/wind wept. Sorry camera in closet and wife already out 4 the night. This band has been siiting from my area over toward Jordan Lake for a while. In fact heavier echoes have been present toward Chatham County. Somone should have been getting some pretty good moderate snow rates between Ramseur-Siler City-Bonlee, I would think. Now all I need is this to continue to overperform all night and the 0z models to get lined up right for Wed p.m./Thurs and the Euro Big daddy for Sat.

You better believe it !! You can take a man out of the Carolinas, but you can't take the Carolinas out of the man... missing the old winter forecasts but enjoy these forums to verify what I'm seeing or calling for.

Great to hear you've caught my weather on FOX Sports 730am :bike:
