FoothillsNC Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's been an interesting afternoon and evening here, with the low clouds, the low moving directly overhead and some decent wind gusts. Glad you guys west got some snow, and you guys east get some Tstorms.Total rain .80" last 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Holy smokes....Very heavy snow in Weaverville now! Half dollar size flakes have whitened the cars & ground in a matter of 5 minutes. Will try to post some pics later. I went to eat and come home to find the cars, roof, and ground white and I have yet to see a flake fall from the sky.

SnoJoe Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm still getting what I think is flow snow. Small dandruff type stuff. Look at the radar loop for the past hour. I can't remember another time when the echos went poof so quickly. Getting colder, already down to 27.1. Things are freezing up quick. The black ice up here is going to be bad. There are some spots of ice on my drive and walkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Lol at the number of posts about what amounts to a dusting in a few places. An appetizer, or appeteaser, for a snow starved SE. I finally have gotten below 50. Rain amounted to a very quick hitting .58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I can't remember another time when the echos went poof so quickly. Yep, this moisture flew by, the models got faster and faster with its exit last couple of days. Its jetting along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Seeing a few flakes IMBY here in Dahlonega. Drove up to Woody gap about an hour ago and the snow was nice and steady and everything but the roads were coated white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 For AL, GA this looks like a cold chasing the moisture type of scenario. The moisture is rocketing along tomorrow afternoon and IMHO I think it will exit quicker than the models are showing. I think Crossville TN eastward in TN would see a change over with and inch or so possible depending on elevation. Now I'm not all that familiar with the topo and plateaus of eastern TN so lower elevations could just be flakes. I think the best chance of higher accumulation in TN, outside of the mountains, will be the far NE corner near TRI. Regarding WNC I think 1-2" will be common above 2,000 ft in elevation with more in the Banner Elk higher elevation areas. The best spot for snow looks to be SW VA and the mountains along the WV/VA line. Maybe the models can trend colder and create some surprises. The 12z GFS now has a 546 contour down into GA while the previous runs did not. I figured the moisture was going to be quicker to exit than the models were showing but I was a little ambitious on the amounts. Oh well....next!

MotoWeatherman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Cool, this is your second time getting snow in your area? Yep...second time having flakes IMBY. On Dec. 1st I had .05" of snow QPF with ZERO accumulation. Not a bad start to winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Picked up over 2 inches of rain since yesterday, creeks and rivers are running over their banks. Maybe had a couple of flakes mixed in with the rain but not much. The precip exited faster than I thought it would, I figured it would end around 10 p.m. or so. Like Robert said this thing is getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It sure is windy outside tonight. CAE's highest reported gust was 43 with several gusts between 35-39. I ended up with .07 in the bucket, so just shy of the .10 I wanted to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Lots of branches and trees down this evening. Lost power here in Hillsborough for an hour as well.

SN_Lover Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Friend up at UNC-A said they were getting flurries Getting really cold here. I could hear the wind howling outside at the library(UNC-C), had to walk through buildings to my bike because of cold. The wind knocked down some construction fences on campus, and that's all the damage I could see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing the pings and seeing a few flakes! 36.9 imby Good to know that Dobbins heat island/rain hole can't defeat determined snow! It sure is windy outside tonight. CAE's highest reported gust was 43 with several gusts between 35-39. I ended up with .07 in the bucket, so just shy of the .10 I wanted to see. Dang, you are way worse than we are, and we're real bad! One of these days a deep runner will slam us both 37.5 at 2am...don't know if I'm making 27 tonight.

Madison County Schools are operating on a three-hour delay. Mitchell, Swain and Yancey county schools are on a two-hour delay. Just got back from taking the kids to school. The North Buncombe district should have been on a 2 hr delay. Multiple icy patches on the secondary roads. Only 2 days that have been worse with no delay since 2003. Not a good call by school adm. this am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
