jburns Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Wow. Went from snow to sleet to rain in a 30min window. The WWA for N GA is saying 2500' ft and up will change to all snow by midnight. Still calling for 2-3" as well. Been pretty busy so I don't know the full story with this storm but it looks loaded with some nice spin. Looks like the mnts could really ring the moisture out.

Tacoma Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 are we going to change back over to snow later ? I think when the storm gets wrapped up pretty good it will drag more cold air into the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I hope so otherwise it will be a big disappointment, lots of slush on the grass but the sidewalks are just wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 are we going to change back over to snow later ? I think when the storm gets wrapped up pretty good it will drag more cold air into the system. I'm thinking no. AS OF 655 PM EST THURSDAY...THE GRIDS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB OF CAPTURING THE PCPN TRANSITION ACROSS THE REGION. WE ARE GETTING REPORTS OF SNOW OVER THE NC FOOTHILLS NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE AND INTO THE CENTRAL FRENCH BROAD VALLEY. THE 0.5 DEG CC DUAL-POL DATA ON THE WSR88D SHOWS A LINE OF VERY LOW CC/S ADVANCING TO THE NORTHWEST ACROSS TRANSYLVANIA...HENDERSON AND CENTRAL MCDOWELL COUNTIES. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SNOW/SLEET LINE. IF THIS IS INDEED THE CASE...THEN THE MORE AGGRESSIVE WARM NOSE OF THE NAM WOULD BE VERIFYING. THIS WOULD MEAN MORE OF A SLEET THAN SNOW THREAT AND A WARMER THERMAL PROFILE IN GENERAL WHICH COULD SEVERE TO LIMIT...AT LEAST TO AN EXTENT...THE WINTER STORM THREAT OF ALL THREE WINTRY PCPN TYPES. HOWEVER...I/M CERTAINLY NOT ABOUT TO BACK AWAY FROM ANY WARNING OR ADVISORY PRODUCTS YET. WHILE EARLY MARCH IN NOT A CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED TIME OF YEAR FOR ICE STORMS...THE GEFS SOUNDINGS HAVE A LOT OF ICE IN THEM AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHERE THE 32 DEG SFC WET BULBS SET UP UNDER THE HEAVIER PCPN. WE CERTAINLY STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ICING ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS NORTH AND WEST OF CHARLOTTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I won't call it a bust..... Yet. Temperature rose to 36 for a while after the initial burst of snow but it has since went back down to 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 We are getting hammered here in Haywood. We have about an inch of snow on the ground. Roads are white especially the back roads and still pouring the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobr57 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 33 in Henderson with a rain/sleet mix. Temps are dropping pretty quickly, so hopefully we can get back to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobr57 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Sleet is really starting to pile up. Probably a quarter inch in the past 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Sleet is really starting to pile up. Probably a quarter inch in the past 30 minutes. Where are you Jacob? Just rain here in W. Asheville.... not even a pellet of sleet. Maybe heavier rates will show up and turn us back to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just isn't happening for me up towards Weaverville. Very little snow & a mostly sleet, rain event so far. Temp is 34.3° and my humidity is still under 70%. Guess the bright side is I still have room for some wet bulb. Looks like GSP is going to nail my pinpoint forecast. Hope most of you cash!

Henderson County. Just south of town. Pretty sure it is due to the rates. Pretty sure this is going to be a big bust for the southern/central mountains though.

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Can't believe the differences within the county. Been all snow here from beginning, about an inch on the ground and 31 degrees, moderate snow. Just got in from Spruce Pine and the roads are actually worse here, 221 here in Woodlawn is partially snow covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Henderson County. Just south of town. Pretty sure it is due to the rates. Nice. Well, good luck man. I think I am going to call it a night. I hope it keeps going for you. One more thing that could be promising if rates increase. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 825 PM EST THURSDAY...THE 00 UTC GSO SOUNDING CAME IN LOOKING MORE LIKE THE COLDER GFS...THOUGH THE FFC SOUNDING LOOKED MORE LIKE THE NAM. THEREFORE...THERE IS A SHARP 850MB FRONT OVER THE REGION. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE WARM NOSE HAS STOPPED ADVANCING NORTHWARD ALONG A LINE FROM NORTHERN MCDOWELL TO CENTRAL BURKE AND SOUTHEAST CALDWELL COUNTIES. THIS INCLUDES THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AS WELL...THOUGH LOCATIONS NEAR THE IMMEDIATE TN LINE MAY BE SEEING MAINLY RAIN. I KEPT THE HEAVIEST SNOW TOTALS IN THESE AREAS WHEN UPDATING THE PCPN ACCUMULATIONS...THOUGH I DID LOWER SNOW TOTALS A LITTLE IN THIS AREA AS I EXPECT MORE SLEET TO MIX IN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. THE FREEZING RAIN LINE FROM THE DAY SHIFT STILL LOOKS GOOD. VERY LITTLE ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE...THOUGH I DID INCREASE ICE ACCUMULATIONS JUST A HAIR TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF CHARLOTTE. SO OVERALL THE WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES LOOK ON TRACK AS A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE LATER TONIGHT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE NC/SC LINE OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT EVEN THOUGH THE DAMAGING ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NORTH OF THERE. I HAVEN/T HEARD MUCH FROM TRANSYLVANIA OR HENDERSON COUNTIES...BUT MESONET OBSERVATIONS ARE HOVERING AROUND FREEZING AND THEY SHOULD BE SEEING SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN IN MANY LOCATIONS.

SnoJoe Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Still all snow here, about an inch down. Can't see a road but it's not sticking real well on my driveway even though it's 28.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
