ncjoaquin Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 here in Buncombe County we had some flakes a couple of times today and that was it and that's about all we've had this year in west asheville. very sad Just had a snow shower that was really intense, Lasted about 10 or 15 minutes. Whitened the cars, the ground, and the roof.... and poof, it was done. But, pretty cool for a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Lmao. This guy here. Someone always says this is the heaviest snow I have ever seen with every storm that produces snow. This was the heaviest daytime snow I've seen in many years. It was definitely the heaviest daytime snow since I moved back here in 2007. Of course, that probably has more to do with the fact that we haven't really gotten any significant snow during the daylight hours since at least 2007 around here! I love that intense band the RUC showed would be rotating through the Triad about now. I think I saw 2 clouds as the sun was setting, maybe that was it? Yeah, that was a failure... Oh, well.

JoshM Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Today was NOT the heaviest snow I've seen, that honor goes to NW Flow snow on the NC/TN border several years back. I learned it takes 4 people to push my car out of a ditch in Zionville that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpiemaniac Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Today I learned that we must adopt a standardized snowfall rate measurement system before we can make comments about the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_hailstorm Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm so glad this is a board based on science and not prone to the hyperbole of all those other so called weather boards. Here we stick to precise standardized measurements especially when it comes to our real passion - snow. Here are a few examples from just the past few hours. Names and location have been redacted to protect the.........innocent. Still snowing like gangbusters in XXX. Snowing good in XXXXXXX. hugh flakes snow falling pretty hard now unreal rates. Crazy heavy snow right now! chicken feather snow flakes. Still hammering. These are insane rates. Wow crazy blowing snow here with big flakes. Really coming down here Unbelievable rates here Oh boy,it's ripping now with big flakes. can't wait until it arrives...rates should be insane. Accumulation accelerating If we get bigger flakes with the rates I have right now I am gonna die. Science is a wonderful thing. So what? You've never contributed anything scientific to a weather board either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Temp is 27.8 and dewpoint is 13 here in Dahlonega. That equals perfect snow blowing temps. Snow blowing in full force. Hope to pull another all night snow making session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 My morale is at rock bottom after seeing 8 hours of snowfall only to see nothing on the ground from it. That can't be rock bottom. If it was snowing everywhere in every direction around you and accumulating rapidly, while the sun was out at your house, that seems like it would be a worse situation than seeing beautiful snow fall for 8 hours.
