eyewall Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Complete bust in Carrboro with 0.5" going to be the total at this point. I am very thankful I drove to the Triad and caught some thundersnow! That was the saving grace of this storm. For many I know it will go down as a fail.

superjames1992 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 We still have no power. It's going to be a cold night... I took a drive around the neighborhood and the roads really aren't that bad. Lots of slush, but you can get traction. The main roads don't look too bad at all. I took a few measurements and it looks like we got around 3.5" out of this one. I'm satisfied, though I could have done without losing power... Good luck to you guys down east!!!

HKY18 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 i'll be interested to see the final accum' map. we had around a 1/4 of an inch here and then it basically stopped at 9pm. NWS had 3-7 forecasted this morn.There wasn't anything but drizzle b/n 9pm and 12am, when I expected the best accumulation potential. A very big model bust, but it also displays the difficulty in forecasting a small bowlling ball upper low. I do believe some people did very well up along the high country and the nc/va border areas. That was expected however. As will I, It was very interesting in Lenoir, as I came back down from boone it was obvious the downsloping going on. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch had accumulated in the northern areas, but as I got to southern part of Lenoir we had 2 inches and the roads were covered. So it was definitely similar to march 09 in that regard. But it seemed like the trajectory of the wind causing the downsloping was slightly different, which allowed my area to get a couple inches more with this ULL. Boone got crushed, but that was expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still searching for one that is worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 1.5 on the grass 2.0 on top of the car still snowing lightly. All in all a pretty good event. Very content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give up the extra inch of snow to keep the electric on. I was a bit surprised how quickly the roads got bad. I woud imagine that melting will occur through the night due to the warm ground and tomorrow mornings commute won't be too bad. Of course you will hear of some accidents caused by those who refuse to adjust for conditions but most will do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_1974 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Snowing decently in Cary right now. I expected that we were going to have heavier precip before though. Not even a half an inch out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 FINALLY snow for me...started around 12:20 still going, some heavier bands coming through here for some bonus and it's going to be over by 1.

Blue Ridge Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 6.5" total at home, just above 2000'. Nandina bush is bent completely over to the ground. Temperatures rose slightly as the deformation band exited, leading to some melting. This has cleared roads somewhat and set the stage for black ice problems later tonight.

We got to throw some snowballs from off the cars at one another, that was fun, just glad I came through with a promise to my girl that it could snow tonight. Ending quickly, see the stars now.

Cold Rain Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Saw not one clean snowflake. A few wet ones, maybe, before yet another lull in the precip. Then went to bed. I hate ULLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
