tazaroo Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Moderate snow with some sleet mix started here in Ramseur 5 minutes ago. Already light dusting. Boy I hope we can keep in that back edge a good while before it moves off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 We got 8" on Jan 30th and 3" on Feb 13. 1" of snow/sleet on Dec 18 but it turned to rain. Nothing out of the other systems? Wow. Raleigh did get screwed last year, but not as bad as you guys in CLT. Raleigh got warm-sectored a couple times and a couple other storms missed them to the south and east. If I recall, RDU received right about average snowfall. Not a bad winter, but nothing like what I had 100 miles west, either. James what a difference a few miles make. I've got nothing here, but it looks like it could change any second. Still just on-and-off flurries; you're not missing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Jan 30 was the one I remember. But a lot of the systems went to our south and down towards Fayetteville. Are you sure about that? Last winter was primarily a north of 40 West of 85 year. DOwn here and towards FAY it was the relative min in the state even compared to the coast after the one storm that dumped 8" in some places out there. In March there was the meso band in Sanford but otherwise we were the relative min down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Raleigh had 8.0" of snow last year according to the monthly climate reports. http://www.weather.g...dex.php?wfo=rah I believe RDU's average is 7.6", so it was a hair above average.

weatherheels Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I found the snow. Caught it on 311S as I entered high point as just flurriesm. By the time I hit the randolph/guilford county line huge flakes. Now I'm about 3 miles into randolph and its pouring. Already covered yards and some roads. Temp went from 36 in west high point to 32 now in randolph county. The nephew loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one storm made up most of the average for the winter. Anyway, back to now. Hoping we'll get something falling here soon. It was about this time when it started with the last Saturday snow.

tazaroo Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Radar seems to be pivoting slightly around Charlotte and sending the moisture in a slightly more NE direction vs the ENE direction earlier at least for a short time. I think I may stay in some light to moderate snow a little longer and maybe if I'm lucky I will get an inch out of it. It still seems the real winners will be Northern Lee, Eastern Chatham, Wake and Countiers to their North and East. We will See. Of course the weenie in me hopes the coastal will keep me in some moisture later although it looks unlikely as of now with no huge quickly developing surprises.

Snowacane Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Heavy precip has been in my county for 40 minutes but still not one flake/drop/pellet Looks like the colder air is winning, the radar returns break up every time at the county line. I'll be surprised to see anything. This is another southern storm, though for them rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
