jburns Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I had to go back out. Amazing change in the roads in 30 minutes. They are a mess. Snow covered with slush/ice underneath. Nasty when you try and change direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaleighWx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 38.3 rain and some sleet mixed, i think i see the occasional snow flake, but the street light could be playing tricks on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Def sounds like a lot of winners and a few losers. Congrats to all that are seeing snow. For those of us who aren't or didn't.......it's weather. Yep, I've got a glass of Elijah Craig 12 year Single Batch I'm sipping on as the rain keeps pouring down, when I stop hearing it getting wind driven into the side of the house I'll know it's snowing. Such a scientific way to record the weather don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hwy 421 is closed right now coming up or down the Blue Ridge between Deep Gap and Wilkesboro. Multiple cars in ditches from the Yadkin river on 421 to about 4 miles past the apple house...snow rates were over 2 inches earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanskip Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just a rain event in Shelby as back side of precip draws near. Maybe another hour or so of precip -- but temps stuck around 37 (just like the GFS said they would be EVERY SINGLE RUN in the past few days). Three lessons (re)learned: 1) Cold chasing precip rarely works 2) The models are not oblivious to the effects of dynamic cooling -- if a powerhouse upper low is moving through and the models still don't show your location getting below freezing, they are probably right. 3) The RAP is a great tool within 12 hours of the event, if used properly -- two trends emerged this morning into this afternoon a) the 500 low tracked slightly farther north it weakened. Those two factors definitely affected the result of this storm. Congrats to all who saw snow -- about to be 25 months and counting in Shelby.
