burgertime Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Saw a report on facebook of a snow/rain mix in Conover, NC. That seems highly suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wow things are about to go south for the mountains. Hopefully some of that can overcome those mountains and head east. Or straight south towards Columbia. #dreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wow things are about to go south for the mountains. Hopefully some of that can overcome those mountains and head east. Burger, what has this storm NOT done...so, maybe that can leak off the mtns. It's a flow snow for sure but the directions are a bit off and the moisture content is huge. Maybe more than a shower escaping the mtns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I assure you all that random reports of a snow flurry or pellet should be viewed with an open mind anywhere across the NC piedmont. I saw it for myself a couple of hours ago. If you get a higher precip rate for a few minutes, look closely and you just might see some mixing.

True, typically I'm the eternal optimist but I've talked myself out of this one. I guess only time will tell from the looks of the radar if something does pass through it looks to be late enough that it should be just cold enough maybe to eek out some flurries.

1234snow Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm starting to get skeptical about acculumations here in the lower elevations. The temp here currently is 39 with a dewpoint of 37, so not much room for evaporational cooling. Hopefully when better moisture gets here and the sun goes down that this light rain can turn to snow as the rates increase(dynamical cooling?) Wise county is now under a blizzard warning and I don't know why all of the mountain counties in NC/TN aren't under blizzard warnings.

MODS if this off topic feel free to move it......They don't want an expert just someone to explain the overall mood of Americans on the east coast and this storm. The problem is there are so many moods probably being associated with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msuwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not sure how it will work out at your location, but some dynamic cooling should take place when snow rates really crank up.
