Isopycnic Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Really nice looking snow with quick accumulations here in NE Raleigh, probably got a 0.5 inch on the ground and everything is covered. Temps at 27.5. I did post a quick update this morning http://www.examiner....f-the-southeast I think we are over to freezing rain here by 7-8 am. The diabatic enhanced wedge is going to only break down slowly, areas in the NW piedmont may not get above freezing till later in the afternoon.

NCSNOW Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 From looks of radar I think we may have a more serious ICE event than they expected ? I wouldn't be suprised if they change it to a ICE STORM WARNING ? I really didn't think we would change over to IP/ZR this quick. What's even more disappointing is the weekend system not gonna happen I don't know when our next chance might be after today ? Could be awhile ? You know this pattern can't last forever (cold) then it's katie bar the door, when it breaks down. Pattern shows no signs of breaking down throughout long range. Also Euro is back on board so to speak last night from what others posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherheels Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Reports of a 20-car pileup on I-85 near Lexington. Icing the suspected culprit. Heads up out there! Just heard on the news they shut down 85 right at that accident. Things are about to get really crazy for the morning commute considering how moderate the rain is coming down right now.

BIG FROSTY Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 When you have in-situ or hybrid CAD events, many times the precip type is as dependent on the precip rate as any other factor. The model soundings for example stated that a lot of areas in North Carolina would begin as snow or snow/sleet but that was only achieved if the precip rate was fast enough to quickly cool the atmosphere. Then as the atmosphere moistens and the 850's climb, the cold air source would get worked over. What ended up happening at least for me is that the precip was so "showery" in nature that it more or less wasted itself on the air source aloft instead of impacting us the surface. It's lgt IP/ZR right now 27 degrees , If it would come down harder it probably would still mix with snow, But it's just light but it is covering everything with a nice glaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
