Brick Tamland Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 How much have you seen? Not sure because most of it has melted now. It was sticking well when it was falling heavy this morning, but then it started melting once it slowed down to the tiny flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Down to light snow again and it's pretty bright outside. That cell is through. Can't wait to watch it all melt away in an instant... EDIT: The sun is out now. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Burger how long before that band hits your location? I'm thinking 20-30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Btw. When it first started to snow, it was all snow. My current air temp at they time was 41!! Congrats to Ll!! My dusting is now gone ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeze Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It's coming -- don't worry about temps. Once the snow starts, they absolutely crash. The cool thing about the approach is if you go outside with a good westward vantage point, you can actually see the big snow cloud approaching.This is by far the coolest less-than-one-inch snowstorm I've experienced.Good luck! Yep. I saw the exact same thing. You could see it coming from the west. Saw it about 30 minutes before it reached me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well seems Lexington, SC is about done minus some random flurry activity later tonight (if that). It was all rain in the "convective" band close to the lake.. went back down to 37 during, and right back up to 43. GL all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 They updated the forecast too to 1-3" for tonight, not sure WTF to believe. Obviously they are looking at more than the RAP. Snow, mainly before 10pm. Low around 25. West wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. I'm pretty confident I am done here.

strongwxnc Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If you are, it will come down hard!! Good luck ! Looking at the radar it appears I might end up under one of the heaviest bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Already 1"+ , crazy, went from the city where it was barely accumulating on the grass, half way home there was a dusting, started to get out where I live and everything is coated, even the roads were starting to take on some white spots. Will post pics in a sec, have to put away groceries. If this can keep up for the evening, could hit out seasonal avg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 This is about 45 mins worth of snow 6 more hrs of this and I will be very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeze Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I am on the northern edge of the snow band. It doesn't look very intense on radar but I got serious rates and thundersnow. About 20 minutes ago it looked like the radar returns were showing that the snow was about over but I just now looked and it is filling back in west of here over Hickory. That is where this band came from. Snow began almost an hour ago and I have close to two inches and the roads are covered. Temp was 38 when it started and its down to 33 now. Snow is now very light and almost stopped. Hopefully the backfill moves over me in the next hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncwinterwxman Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I was wondering how it was going up there cause it looked like you were getting hammered...nice! You have a nice 850-700 mb frontogenesis maximum right over you right now...rock on! Visible loop is showing the center of the low just SE of ILM right now starting to move its way up the coast...
