WeatherNC Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Its a great message this board sent the average user, lurker, etc. So many posts about the snow not being able to stick to roads because of the warm temperatures. Hopefully those users are online tonight and not on the roads, typical warmista bias in thinking a warm ground/surface can't be overcome by decent rates... Frying Pan Shoals down to 1000.6 as of 530pm and still falling with a N wind, buoy 41NM east of CHS bottomed at around there, 29.55 at 450pm with a SSW wind... ~1000mb 50 miles ese of ILM, should deepen to 995-993 over the next 6 hours, 100 miles east of HAT.

Wow Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Changeover over to all snow about 30 min ago. Already a good 1/2" on cars and grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 looking at the full resolution radar mosaic right now...not seeing ANY signs of any wrap around moisture on the back side on the east side of the apps...and with little to no precip rotating down from KY, starting to get a little worried now http://radar.weather...s/full_loop.php Water Vapor imagery is showing the air drying.

dsaur Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Still just sleet here in south CLT. Ahh....Burgerman gets to enjoy the wonderful world of sleet I'm happy for you...you got your storm a week late..but you got some! Hope the flakes come if the pellets aren't enough. I got a bit over 1.6 of the juice, so I'm content, until the next chance later in the month. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 1/2 inch here still snowing lightly w/ nothing on radar. dynamics are really good right now aloft as we are on the west side of the 850 low. wouldn't surprised to see another burst before this is over.

Freeze Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'd say the forecast has been a bust. I just got back from a drive thru northeast Mooresvile and the snow is coming down good. All grassy areas are covered. Roads are turning white from the curbs towards the center. This will end up being quite a bit more than a dusting.

burgertime Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hate to think negative but still just sleet here. Might be a big ol bucket of fail for even seeing flakes fly as this band seems to be close to moving through. Hopefully get another burst move through before it all passes.

SBUWX23 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Has no bearing on whats going on below 500 mb. Water vapor only sees above 500 mb or so. Water Vapor imagery is showing the air drying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Been snowing about 20 minutes. Roads are now completely covered. Beautiful big flakes to start and now just small flakes pouring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobr57 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 A few flakes starting to mix in in Chapel Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalba Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It does appear that precip west of the NC mountains is going to have a hard time making it here. Precip that crossed over into Asheville has already dried up. It appears the line of precip along I-77 may be it.. with maybe some redevelopment further east.

Maybe some folks have not seen much snow? When you've seen it stick, though the ground/street was warm, and it was 70 the day before, you never forget that lesson.

Radar hasn't been very impressive all day in western NC. Folks around Charlotte getting snow/sleet should feel fortunate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnc87 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The precip is definately dying out after the band in central nc moves through that looks to be it. i think the lull was the precip drying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Nah I need to see some flakes man! I got nearly an inch of sleet in 2010 and hated it! You are one sick puppy Send me all your extra next time, you can trade for all my snow. Best storm I ever saw was near 6 inches of sleet. World stopping! I'll take that over a foot of sn every time, lol. Sun was poking out a few hours back, so count your blessings. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Has no bearing on whats going on below 500 mb. Water vapor only sees above 500 mb or so. And considering that plume over the northern half of SC it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What happened with that trailing energy that was progged by all the models to reignite precipitation over the area through the late evening and early morning hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinder Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hate to think negative but still just sleet here. Might be a big ol bucket of fail for even seeing flakes fly as this band seems to be close to moving through. Hopefully get another burst move through before it all passes. I haven't seen any flakes here either. I'm curious to see what happened at the airport, what does it take to record a Trace?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dntjr Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 What happened with that trailing energy that was progged by all the models to reignite precipitation over the area through the late evening and early morning hours? Judging by the radar, there is a spoke of energy just clearing the mtns. right now, and another back in central TN- I am not sure if this will re-ignite the precip over central and eastern NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Has no bearing on whats going on below 500 mb. Water vapor only sees above 500 mb or so. It fits perfectly with the diminishing rain on the radar though. I hope it crosses the apps, but that's not looking plausible IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 2" in Boone and that looks to be about all she wrote, I was thinking 3-5" so I'll live with 2" for my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
