packbacker Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Really? I read the last discussion, and didn't see anywhere where they said they were going to upgrade us.. Ah, misread, but the write up wasn't negative.....The, RUC sure shifted the heaviest axis precip north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Transition going on here in Wilkes. No more rain. Heavy sleet accumulating. Brief coating already. Very hard sleet. So much for the warm ground temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 i think you'll see most folks north of i40 west of 77 change to snow by 4 pm. Brandon, you think the rates will be hard enough to accumulate on parking lot surfaces? I have salters on but no plows. From Mt Airy to Winston?

griteater Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Where exactly? i grew up in the South Toe River valley is a beautiful place.. especially in the snow. Indeed, I'm on Seven Mile Ridge, 3,540 ft east of Burnsville. Steady snow for the past hour, but radar is looking weak to the southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yea looking at the trends, things don't look good for WNC with the vast majority of the returns shifting into VA rather than eastward into NC. Don't be surprised though if we see reorganization of the precipitation when the s/w moves into central and eastern NC however as the system gets a kick from the shortwave to the west merging with our main system. http://rapidrefresh....omain=t6&wjet=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dntjr Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Very little, if any northward progression shown on the southern edge of the precip in NEGA and the upstate- everything is starting to fill in to the north of a Gainesville to Greenwood line- but SW NC still has a hole in the precip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 34.8 here and DP still at 34. I've seen no snow or sleet yet, just heavy rain recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 When is the low supposed to drop due south to central GA then transfer to the coast around SC/NC border? Oh my! LOL. Seems to me that the problem all along has been a lack of cold air. On the models that has been the problem from the get go. I've learned that and that and that the EURO still rules the roost. The weather making part of the slp is further north than modeled - except the Euro. So, in the future if a strong cold high is not in place or moving there, I'm not buying.

WilkesboroDude Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Went out and shot a 50sec clip of the snow transition...doesn't look as great on video. I should have waited as now the ground is looking more white....slush everywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH-_QrowKF0&context=C33388dcADOEgsToPDskLb7kSniHpS89-TqNpUSh-i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWGNKITTEN Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 A mixture going on here now as big wet "dobs" are mixing in. Hard to believe, but, the Temp. is 40! DP 38. So, quite a difference in elevation apparently as heavy snow is now falling above 2000 ft with the temp of around freezing there. NE winds are probably why it is this mild here in the valley as they downslope off the mountains just to my NE. The mixed precip changed over to heavy snow in wise about an hour ago and covered everything in no time. Check this out. Here's a cam shot there: What I wouldn't give to see that here....I'm at 45, steady moderate rain, have had about 3/4" since last night. Would love to have the snowflakes mixing in and piling up like that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 are talking abotu your general area? yes mt. airy to winston we have several stops in those areas. i know it will freeze later tonight but didn't know if it would be worth putting plows on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 yes mt. airy to winston we have several stops in those areas. i know it will freeze later tonight but didn't know if it would be worth putting plows on oh, hmm. To me if you're in NC that area towards GSO is probably the best place to be. I woudl be surprised if someone doesn't get 3 or 4 inches, but I doubt it will accumulate much on the roads until after it gets dark. So there may be some slush later this evening (like 8 or 9), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalba Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Looks to be mainly sleet/snow mix now.. but the back edge of this precip is now moving through.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeVa Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Is this thing slowing down or something? My temp is still at 40. Need that colder air to filter in overnight before the heavier precip comes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullioz Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 yes mt. airy to winston we have several stops in those areas. i know it will freeze later tonight but didn't know if it would be worth putting plows on I know you could care less about my opinion, but unless the skies clear before sunrise temperatures will not fall below freezing tonight outside of the mountains. The latest RUC keeps temps between 33 and 35 for almost everyone outside the mountains through 7am. Any slushy accumulations, especially on roads or parking lots will melt on their own by morning since it will be occurring from both the top and the bottom.

nchighcountrywx Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Avery County 220pm Heavier now, but still looks like we won't get as much as we did last weekend. Watching that band over Knoxville area now that appears to be the weak deformation zone. Hopefully that will clip us with some accumulation.
