tonysc Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes wow, snow falling pretty hard now in Greenville, brings tears to my eyes, it's been a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If my amateur eyes are reading the latest RAP run (16z map) correctly, the lee-side trough will be forming in the Foothills around 2-4 pm. It won't be moving through the Triad until about 5-6 pm. IIRC, that is a little slower than expected this morning, which is assume is a good thing. Gives everyone to the east more time to cool down... Looks to be quite a good line too, stretching from upstate SC, through NC, and even into SW VA !!! Yeah, man, it might come through as the sun is setting. Maybe we can sneak away with some light accumulations after all. That band looks intense.

packbacker Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Someone could get very lucky from about 4-9pm it seems, love reading the words "slowly" "bands" and "pivoting" with regards to snow and central/eastern NC. It sounds like Brick maybe in the best spot, as usual. THE ARRIVAL OF THE STRONG TROUGH DYNAMICS AND RESULTANT COOLING ALOFT/STEEP LAPSE RATES TO GO ALONG WITH THE CONTINUED DEEP LAYER FGEN...COULD SUPPORT A BAND OR MULTIPLE BANDS OF HEAVY SNOWFALL PIVOTING SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN NC. AS MUCH 3 TO 6 INCHES WOULD BE POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THESE BANDS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysc Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 And to those who always talk about it's not going to stick because of ground temps...... well yeah it was in the 60's yesterday and the ground is getting white now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 In some ways, this reminds me of the 3/2/10 winter storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nam0806 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It's pretty intermittent snow but it is coming down. This is all I wanted. I just wanted to see it coming down. A 91 year old man threw the first pitch, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopplerWx Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 just had a HEAVY band come over hartsville, flakes the size of my palms almost have NEVER seen snowflakes that big in my life and have never seen it snow that heavy in my life. unreal rates.

Cold Rain Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It's nothing major, but never in my life have I seen rain/snow and heard birds and thunder all at the same time (around the 15 second mark). Nice Bevo! I have still never heard thundersnow, not to mention thundersnow, rain, and birds at once. That's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Very little accumulation in Chapel Hill despite moderate snow. It is only a dusting in areas they are heavily shaded in central and western Chapel Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_Sidedryslot:-( Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Down to 33F and heavy snow continues, ground almost completely covered. Wow what a beautiful sight, it's been WAY to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 And to those who always talk about it's not going to stick because of ground temps...... well yeah it was in the 60's yesterday and the ground is getting white now. I think a lot of folks will start seeing the ground whitening up as the afternoon wears on now. We are all loosing the solar radiation negative factor. It's a huge minus when you get into late FEB MARCH. Should really bold well for Wilson Greenville Elizabeth city latter on this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 RDU has reported SN Fog for the past 3 hours with vis at a half mile, still can't get below the freezing mark though, 34 at 2pm, hard to accumulate when your not below freezing.

packbacker Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 For the RDU folks, nice to see the radar develop darker greens off to our S/W... That band S/W of Sanford has really turned darker green in the past 20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncwinterwxman Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I had a feeling someone might see graupel today given the extreme cold/instability aloft and the convective nature of the precip that the models forecasted very well...nice!

ncwinterwxman Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Also, some very nice convective snow squalls over east TN right now...the clouds associated with them are likely what we call convective rolls in the weather biz...very interesting stuff that you don't see everyday... http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/southeast_loop.php http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GSSLOOPS/ecvs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
