RaleighWx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Snow picking up again here in NE Raleigh. 34.0. Have a dusting to .5 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wake4est Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Light snow, zero accumulation in SW Wake County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm losing hope on this one. The radar is just not filling in like it needs to. It's going to be hard to get any accumulation with the radar not filling all the way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Never saw the first flake here north of Lake Lure. Very disappointing to say the least. The rain has stopped, finally! Almost 5.5 inches. 38 degrees right now. I'm going to bed. Watch that black ice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepPounding Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 What kind of accumulations up in Hickory? Got to drive up there tomorrow for work. Hoping to see some good totals there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You can see how most of Wake County switched back, I am a mix, mostly snow, but I am right on the Chatham Co. border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wife heard a rumble of thunder about 15 min ago. I had decent snow coming down at one stretch, but overall, just a trace here. Good banding continues SW of Charlotte, so that may rotate through S Charlotte, Rock Hill, Union county Yep I was hoping that banding down there may rotate up towards me but it stayed south. Oh well, the far western side of the county just couldn't get it done as my wife just texted me about it snowing off Billy Graham/85. That is literally probably 5 miles as the crow flies, if that, from our house. Outside of a few sleet pellets around 4:30 and some tiny flakes mixing in around 7 or 8, it has been nothing but the liquid variety here. Maybe it'll snow while I'm in Ohio working these next two weeks. Of course I spent all of last winter working in Indiana (and at home over in NODA on my weeks off) and only saw maybe a total of 3" of snow, if that. Here's to a rocking February.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm losing hope on this one. The radar is just not filling in like it needs to. It's going to be hard to get any accumulation with the radar not filling all the way in. Its almost like its TOO convective...you can sort of see a rolling convective banding feature on the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's failing to do anything other than rain here. We've had a few flakes mix in from time to time, but otherwise nothing. What we do have is melting. Radar looks ****ty. I think this one is toast. Had a nice beginning, but it wasn't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Back in Carrboro with 1/2" here and flipped back to rain. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose4 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Right on 32 here in downtown Kannapolis, and slightly over a half-inch of real wet sloppy snow on the grass. It's starting to slush up on the street outside, and it's still coming down steadily. There may still be some rain mixed in with it. We had one close lightning flash and good loud thunder crack about 20 minutes ago. Thundersnow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlee Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Snow/Rain mix here still, just can't quite get over to all snow it seems. Flakes getting fluffier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rduwx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Its almost like its TOO convective...you can sort of see a rolling convective banding feature on the radar Exactly...I wasn't expecting much myself but was hoping to get under a heavy band for an hour or so but it just hasn't happened. I have seen some snow so I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose4 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 GSP changed our forecast here in K-town from 3-5" to a half-inch. Bit of an underperformer from what we hoped for, I guess, but any snow is good snow down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I may have been too quick to call it here in High Point, huge flakes falling right now, as big as I've seen. Hopefully it ends with a bang. For those of you to the east, these returns on the back edge look lighter on radar than they actually are so don't give up all hope.

tgarren Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 moderate snow here again now. just walked outside and heard a single engine plane fly over coming from the direction of GSO. cant imagine flying that thing is fun right about now..

magpiemaniac Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I may have been too quick to call it here in High Point, huge flakes falling right now, as big as I've seen. Hopefully it ends with a bang. For those of you to the east, these returns on the back edge look lighter on radar than they actually are so don't give up all hope. I can attest to this fact. Even when the radar returns were thin, I was getting good snowfall. Right now, the large flakes have returned at a good rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Mets, any idea why we are getting mostly rain now, with some flakes mixed in? After the first hour and a half, it's been pretty much nothing here. Big disappointment. And yes, the banding did not come together like the models said it would.
