VeronicaCorningstone Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 At least we saw flakes, otherwise this was a total weak sauce event for Wilson. No snow to speak of on the ground at the moment, even after hours of it falling (what little did accumulate was gone in about an hour). Glad to see some folks did get some accumulations...enjoy! Think I'll have to plan a ski trip before the seaon's over to get my snow fix for the year, and give the baby her first opportunity to play in the snow.

BullCityWx Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Snowcover is really affecting temperatures in the CLT metro. Gastonia is in the high teens, KCLT is at 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Here's the video I took yesterday afternoon as the snowfall progressed. What an awesome day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleEverett Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 A beautiful sunny morning with snow still out there here in northeast Charlotte. Brad P posted a photo showing the snow cover from space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCStateMMY Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Measured an inch here during the heaviest snow. Definitely started melting once the rates went down. Good dusting still on the ground this morning. Very interesting to see the latent heat effects from the house and some larger tress. Completely bare in those areas. While I wanted to see more, this was still fun and a pleasure to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsandhills Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Congrats Charlotte, Florence and Myrtle Beach. 0.7" seems high for RDU, I am 10 miles west and I never had anything to measure. Map looks pretty accurate! Though I'm pretty sure we were closer to 2" in Southern Pines rather than 1 or 1.5". Wasnt much but it sure was better than nothing and I enjoyed the hell out of it while it lasted! Hopefully another one of these Feb storms in the disco thread can pan out now and give us much more On another note, cold cold cold out there. 11AM and the temp is 29, windchill is 20!

AirNelson39 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 That map is very deceiving for the mtns, especially watauga county, probably ended up around 2-4 (but was NW flow snow after the main system passed). Impossible to measure due to the extreme winds last night, side roads are still solid white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMRoss Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 ILM and a lot of SENC is in a snow hole. Places to our N (Jacksonville), our W (Florence) and even our SW (Myrtle Beach) received accumulating snow while we're stuck with only a trace. Go figure.

eyewall Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 0.8 is definitely a weenie total for my area. Love the screw zone clear on satellite imagery in the western Triangle down to areas north of CLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ha! Figures, doesn't it? As soon as you leave the place...same thing happened to me, though. I moved from LIT to SOP a few months ago...as we all know...LIT got 9.5" of snow on Christmas day 2012....just 9 months after I left I did see the pic of Midland Road you posted from a storm in the early 2000s though...crazy. Didn't recognize it one bit. Yeah I am kidding though as I did see a number of amazing snow events there believe it or not, including the epic Jan 2000 as shown in my Midland Road photo.

NCBlizzard Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Congrats Charlotte, Florence and Myrtle Beach. 0.7" seems high for RDU, I am 10 miles west and I never had anything to measure. Accumulations for southern Cleveland County seem too high based on my observations. I received just a little more than 1/2". I think the southern part of the county did receive more than the northern part but not that much. I think Robert said he got around an inch and I think he lives just a mile or so to my SW and it has us both in the "2-4" range. Just a mile or two to my N received less than a couple tenths and that area is also in the "2-4" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Not sure if this should go here, or in the Banter thread... I am going to be leaving Holly Springs, GA and driving up to Beech Mountain on Tuesday... how slippery of a drive is that going to be? Just trying to plan - not really used to driving in snow (but will be in 4x4)... Thanks in advance. Hammer This clearly isn't the right thread. Please don't cross-post.

WilkesboroDude Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Had some scattered flurries to light snow here at times. I enjoyed this one since it was during the day! Glad some down east and south received some meaningful accumulations. Nothing really for my backyard this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I know a lot have been asking for my map...I made this on 2/15/13 probably only made it to a few people. This event was hard to forecast accumulations due to...evap cooling...where the precip falls...how much the ground causes to melt...rates...and other factors.

superjames1992 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 My grandmother took this photo from her back deck (she moved in about a mile away from us last summer after living in Florida for 20 years ... quite a climate shock!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydog Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ended up with 1" at my place in Myrtle Beach. It was fascinating watching that vort drop SE. The transition frkm rain to heavy snow took about 2 minutes. Within 10 minutes, there was a solid covering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
