avianman Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Here on the Catawba/Alexander County line, we ended up with about an inch in 45 mins. Just flurries now. Amazing how fast it went from nothing to everything white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Just not enough rate to overcome ground temps. Yeah only briefly during the heavy burst before noon. Otherwise we are going to come in as we started with bare ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossthread Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Afternoon everyone, as Waycroos? decided to go Golfing, guess I'll pick up where He left off.. Catching up,,,,(since 1pm), Reading Obs, Kudo's for those of you that are Cashing in (Especilly Southern Pines)... Temp(s) fell short by about 5 degress from "forcast"... IMBY, looks like the Wind9s) have went NNW around to almost Due NORTH, Temps dropping tenths of a degree, every 30 minutes or so.. .1.5 degree(s) In the past 2 hours... Temp currently 48 w/ Wind(s)13 steady with gusts picking up to 17 MPH....Dew of 44, Humidty of 89% . Pressure currently, is 29.74 inches and falling... Getting quite dark to My WEST.... (You can "smell" the Moister in the air, you know, like before a SNOW "storm")... WWA now posted for Our Tri-County warning area(s).....Until 6AM tomorrow morning..... Temps just "across the River" 10 miles (South/South-West), +/- are in the Mid-30's... It is SNOWING in WHITEVILLE NOW! Looking at sounding data andmoisture profiles...deep moist layer below 0c showing up from flowto lbt by 18z. Shallow layer above freezing around 1k feet will dropquickly once pcp begins with surface dewpoints right around freezing.As layer saturates closer to the coast closer to 4 PM thisafternoon...it will start out above freezing up through 3k feet orso. This will quickly shift to well below freezing above 1k feet byearly evening. Expect plenty of cold air to be drawn down to thesurface to help change over rain to snow. Big question is how muchsnow to expect. Many factors will affect the accumulation such assoil and ground temperatures and wet surfaces. Overall expect best chance ofany accumulation to be on grassy surfaces especially as temperatures coolthrough this evening. Basically expecting up to around an inch ofsnow inland with little to no accumulation close to the coast.Looks like best chance of pcp for inland areas will come between 1pmand 9pm and around 4 PM to midnight closer to the coast. With thewarm surface temperature...we are still expecting most of theaccumulation to be on grassy surfaces and some slick spots onbridges and overpasses once the cold are moves into the regionlater Saturday night.A Winter Weather Advisory as be extended for all the zones exceptthe small coastal zones from Pender to Georgetown County.

Jalba Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Unbelievable. Whiteout. Hky you're not near mile 133 on i40 are you? Interstate is covered in snow. Ever one is extremely slow. I'm heading home on 16 north at 5mph. I can't belive this. Pictures as soon as I'm home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hardly doing anything here now. I starting to wonder if this is all we're going to get. Brick I have no idea what to expect either, been a lot of talk about bands setting up in our area later this evening, I am hoping RAH gives another update at 3pm. Allan tweeted a little while ago saying its getting interesting. It is snowing moderately here, grass is covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawlee Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 UP to 35F here, still all RN. About a mile from Crabtree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Picking up in intensity a little bit, but it's not going to get too hard for too long, based on the radar. It should taper off through the afternoon in this area. Might be it until the line out west comes through. Not seeing how anyone gets 2-4 or 3-6 like RAH was mentioning, unless development occurs right over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burrel2 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I just go back from a snow chase.Of course mby got missed and didn't get even a flurry. I drove 10 miles to my east to Easley,SC and observed thundersnow with pea sized graupel and huge flakes mixed in. Over the 30 minutes it poured snow a heavy dusting was able to coat everything.
