Snowless in Carrollton Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I still have a dew point of 13 I hope there is enough rain to actually get some to the ground, lol. Got a couple of bands headed this way..it'll be interesting later on. I said late in Jan. I thought the first frozen event I'd get in Feb. would be sleet or zrain. It may not be this one, but I'll hold to that thought for now. T Sleet reports coming in from areas well south of Birmingham, some of it heavy. So i dont see why you won't get sleet too. Some of the sleet has been accumulating briefly, even with temps in the 40s ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Tony! I have thought about you all day as the sleet reports have been rolling in. Maybe you will get some sleet out of this dang thing and the winter won't be a complete waste. It's not much but it beats the 90's we'll have in a few months. Thanks, Greg! I think I'll get some good sleet for a bit anyway, but I haven't been down to my secret underground layer yet this year, lol, so the sled isn't out. I actually have some hope for around the 25th, as next weekends storm doesn't seem to be wanting to suppress enough to get us in Ga. Maybe if we can see some deeper cold...still a ways away. I'll be out tonight waiting to hear the pellets in the leaves, and if it's rain, shoot I need some rain Sleet reports coming in from areas well south of Birmingham, some of it heavy. So i dont see why you won't get sleet too. Some of the sleet has been accumulating briefly, even with temps in the 40s ! You can never count us out as long as the td's are low. I'd sure love it if we had some decent cad building in, but winter has a long way to go, so there is always hope. I'm betting I get at least 300 sleets tonight With ground temps at 50 if would take a huge fall to get some to stay a while. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin, my friend, it looks like I might need to be sending it to you up there, as the line is headed toward me, at least initially, lol. Good luck to you guys up there. I will count this as an event if we get at least 15 minutes of something frozen...as bad as this winter has been, lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin NCwx Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 awesome - you should be in a really good location! looks like the precip is at the ga/al border - lets hope it gets here soon lol The ruc brings some good lift into our area for a few hours. Hoping to pick up a couple inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The ruc brings some good lift into our area for a few hours. Hoping to pick up a couple inches. ive been watching the ruc the last few hours and its looking promising but i am still a bit concerned about the temps and how quickly they can fall when the precip starts. this is one of those situations where i will feel better if we can knock a couple of degrees off the temp before the precip arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Generally a good sign when the euro picks up on it day 8-9 loses it and then it comes back day 5-6. Looking like this may be the one to watch. Am interested to watch tonight as this system comes in. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see a nice dusting-inch in a few places. Just curious if you would be a little more specific concerning to which areas you are referring. I'm currently at 40 degrees over a dew point of 19. I'm just hoping to see a few flakes or sleet pellets falling in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST21 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I keep hearing about timing. What about the WAA timing, if it comes in later than predicted, that should give us a better shot right? Still an amateur so just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Just got a text from my brother-in-law who is just south of Birmingham. He says it is sleeting lightly there right now. Edit: New forecast from FFC for MBY... Tonight: A chance of rain, snow, and sleet before 2am, then occasional rain and sleet between 2am and 4am, then occasional rain after 4am. Low around 34. South wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently at 40 degrees over a dew point of 19. I'm just hoping to see a few flakes or sleet pellets falling in the morning. With a weak system like this pretty much anyone lucky. But the best areas would be southwest NC the WCU-AVL-southern foothills area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Probably less cloud cover,so its dropping faster in Gaffney,when thicker clouds roll in,it will steady the temp,and probably rise a few degrees even It's 35 at my house right now.

There seems to be a strip of 30s running from just NE of Shelby to here. Little pockets of 30s scattered around where the clouds are still broken.
