WilkesboroDude Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have never seen snow accumulate on top of runoff but it has. Very squishy. Over 1inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGTim Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Had snow in suches but went toward blue ridge. Nothing here. Heading back through suches in about 45. Will try to give another report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well snow was short-lived. Pouring rain again here near AVL with temp of 36. Radar returns not doing what the RAP suggested, so I am thinking this may be a non-event for the valleys. Places north and east will do great. Congrats to those seeing snow! Otherwise it's just massive standing water everywhere around here... We had 2 really good snow years, but looks like we are back to the pattern that existed before those 2 good years. I still have snow, but it's very light. Glad for my fellow NC, TN, VA people who are getting snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilgore Trout Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well snow was short-lived. Pouring rain again here near AVL with temp of 36.

Otherwise it's just massive standing water everywhere around here... The temps are so marginal. It has been a back and forth mix here in W Avl. I am sure it will transition back over to totally snow, but yes, this is a non-event. Looks like the long streak of days without an inch of snow continues.

chapelhillwx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sleet mixing in with the rain now!!! Temp crashing. Down to 38.9 just north of Chapel Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm surprised at how well the snow is sticking. It's really not even snowing that hard at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose4 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Waiting on it here in Earnhardtville. KJQF still shows 43 degrees but the nearest wunderground station has it down to 39. Steady fairly hard rain all afternoon and enough wind to knock over the neighbor's trash cans. GSP is still saying 3-5" for us but shouldn't the temps have started to drop lower by now for Charlotte metro to get that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 the warm ground thing is overrated. its winter, sun angle is low this time of year regardless of how warm its been and now its dark out. Once it starts to melt and snow on top of it, it sticks. I'm surprised at how well the snow is sticking. It's really not even snowing that hard at the moment.

Dunkman Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I saw quite a bright flash of lightning with the thunder a few minutes ago. Started seeing flakes mix in shortly before 7...20 minutes later everything was covered including the road in my neighborhood. It is remarkable how fast that happened.

Scooter Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 All snow here in Thomasville. Ground is turning white now but the roads are fine. My brother in Oak Ridge had some thunder and lightning about 5 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 We had 2 really good snow years, but looks like we are back to the pattern that existed before those 2 good years. I still have snow, but it's very light. Glad for my fellow NC, TN, VA people who are getting snow! Unfortunately for the AVL folks it looks like the deformation band jumped over the mountains, like it has often been known to do and is really becoming better established over the piedmont. For those in Upstate SC though, this is actually perhaps some good news and as the 850 hPa temps continue to crash down, there may be a meaningful period of snowfall across the higher elevations of the upstate (1000 ft and above). We'll have to see how things evolve since most areas in upstate SC still have temps in the low 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyKnob Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Down from 43 to 40 in the last 45 minutes 5 miles west of Carrboro ( White Cross). Wind basically sustained at 13 - 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
