GreensboroWx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's incredibly impressive how accurate it seems to be based on reports! What's the best link to the dual pol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hang in there! Two more lessons: 1)I'm not going to let people call me a "negative nancy" just because I'm calling it like I see it. 2) If the RPM says you're not getting snow 3 hours before the event -- PACK IT IN!!!! The problem is the RPM was going gangbusters for us to get snow this morning. So when is it right and when is it wrong? All your other points I'm with you on. Biggest thing for me...what's the surface temps progged to be? I think it's simple as that. Dynamics, "making it's own cold", change over, etc are all unicorns in the south...like SSWs.

QC_Halo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Seeing reports of snow in Charlotte on facebook. Might be some flakes mixed in here. Definitely is here. Huge flakes that fall fast, heavy stuff. But, as of now, not enough to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 it works real well when you are not extremely far from radar. ZDR was also showing this transition zone nicely. It's incredibly impressive how accurate it seems to be based on reports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Nothing here yet Burger. If anyone "deserves" a nice bout of snow, it's you for all of your dedication and play by play model analysis. Still plenty of winter left, though. We are all pulling for you Burger!!! lol wow thanks! Flakes are mixing in. Friend on FB just said there are big fat flakes about 5 miles down the road.

SBUWX23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 heavily rimed snow or graupel. sleet should not be a dominant ptype in this. it was observed at the transition but that should be it. I hear sleet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaleighWx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 More snow then sleet now. 36.0F. Some light accumulation on mailboxes/car tops etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Absolutely pouring snow in Apex, I am roughly near Chatham/Wake/Durham county line. Should be covered grass soon. I am surprised RAH dropped totals from 2-4 to 1-3". Maybe the band will weaken quicker than they originally thought. RAP has snow in RDU through midnight.

Cold Rain Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 heavily rimed snow or graupel. sleet should not be a dominant ptype in this. it was observed at the transition but that should be it. I still haven't transitioned though. Still mostly rain. Probably graupel, like you said, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Really nice snow. Not large flakes but a lot of them. Everything is white; over a 1/2 inch. The way it's coming down will pass 1 inch really soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBUWX23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 they havent updated their forecast since this afternoon and the snow grid on their facebook actually increased some from this morning.. Absolutely pouring snow in Apex, I am roughly near Chatham/Wake/Durham county line. Should be covered grass soon. I am surprised RAH dropped totals from 2-4 to 1-3".

oconeexman Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Got 7" of rain this week...no snow..no storms in the LR. Maybe year 3 will bring us back to average?? As expected ULL are very hard to forecast and wouldnt want the job of a met! So you want hear "epic fail" or "total bust" out of me! No surprise here as without a CAD my confidence is always low for snow chances! The only guarantee around here is that a warm bubble or nose will be present on the lee side in these events and NW SC will be in it! So many get bent out of shape when they dont get dumped on but ya gotta realize there are many more that have been left out over the last 2 years...as some have said "it's weather" you got no choice but to take it or move to siberia! I look at it like this, no power loss, no tree on my house or truck! Congrats to the few who got what they thought or wanted! Be careful in the morning folks it'll be slick in places.

burgertime Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 BUR-GER! BUR-GER! BUR-GER! More snow mixing in but still not quite there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah, that was mainly a joke -- don't know much about the RPM, but boy it sure pulled the plug! Meanwhile, the RAP STILL wants to give me 2 inches before midnight! No way around the fact that the GFS never got there (for me at least) on surface temps -- insisting that they would never get below 35-36 while precip was falling (which it didn't). The problem is the RPM was going gangbusters for us to get snow this morning. So when is it right and when is it wrong? All your other points I'm with you on. Biggest thing for me...what's the surface temps progged to be? I think it's simple as that. Dynamics, "making it's own cold", change over, etc are all unicorns in the south...like SSWs.

Jalba Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Brad just hit it right on.. "All snow now amounts 1" or less. #cltwx" Even here, GSP moved us up to 6" earlier in the snow map http://www.erh.noaa.gov/gsp/stormtotal/StormTotalSnowFcst.png Now latest notice they sent out at 8:49pm says " * ACCUMULATIONS...SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 2 TO 4 INCHES...ALONG WITHAROUND A TRACE OF ICE. AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 COULD SEEAMOUNTS RANGE BETWEEN 5 TO 7 INCHES." There is just no way, even as recent as that was posted.. the backedge is here, you can easily tell by those "dry slots" you see developing from wilkes down to alexander moving south. At best an inch with whats left of for here. As hky said earlier, insane micro climate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Not a total bust but a bust nonetheless . Good post! Got 7" of rain this week...no snow..no storms in the LR.
