WxBlue Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sweet, I'm an alumni of that fine institution as of Dec 2013. Congratulations! Hopefully that's the case for me 3.5 years from now! EDIT: Yeah, I've noticed few questionable moves by GSP this winter but Ray's Weather was little slow with this storm too. I think they were looking at it, but not confident enough to see more than an inch until last night. It happens, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin NCwx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Rap looks to increase snowfall intensity from about 2-6pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneTracker Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Rap looks to increase snowfall intensity from about 2-6pm. Yes! Despite what people around here are calling an end to the snow, or that the "radar doesn't look great", the RAP still has the brunt of the system yet to come.

WxBlue Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm starting to think we are getting the best case scenario out of this system if we were looking at the models 48 hours ago. I'm pleased with this storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgore Trout Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yes! Despite what people around here are calling an end to the snow, or that the "radar doesn't look great", the RAP still has the brunt of the system yet to come. So that was me . Looks like some better radar returns are on the way, and I am hoping that we can squeeze a few inches out of this. I think the last three years have turned me into an eternal snow pessimist. I will say that given the forecast a couple of days ago, this has turned out to be a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will humbly eat crow if my forecast busts, but first we gotta give it a chance to work it's magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what people around here are calling an end to the snow, or that the "radar doesn't look great", the RAP still has the brunt of the system yet to come. I'm not sure if its a result of having limited moisture in a very cold airmass but the Greer radar IMO is struggling with returns IMBY. It's snowing pretty good but you wouldn't know it on radar.

SnoJoe Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Some Yancey Co roads are being closed due to wrecks.

I remember the walk between Rankin Science building and the old Brooks gymnasium going up to the Library back during the winter of 1987...the wind chill was brutal thru there!

Met1985 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Wow the RAP nailed this. Just woke up from sleeping all day. Looked out and looks like several inches here and still looks like we have several hours of snowfall. Wow is it beautiful out there. Congrats to all who are getting it.

You southern boys are really cashing in. Believe it or not, I now have sunshine and not one flake falling with maybe an inch on the ground. Really hasn't been too disappointing because I didn't expect much, but kind of a bummer when the other half of your own county is getting good snow.

jacobr57 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The RAP just keeps giving and giving. The moisture dies down in a few hours, but resurges at about 8 pm according to the 19z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya it is different when we are getting it and you are not especially coming up from the south. I called it last night - RAP has been my short-term model of choice over the NAM for a while now. Hope everyone cashes in as expected! Yep you did. It did very well for us. Snowing at a good clip for past hour now. Over two inches now. Yep about the same here also. Steady moderate snow with the temp at 19 degrees lol. Cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's snowing pretty hard right now in Western McDowell County...funny you mention that the sun is out in Northern Yancey County. With it snowing here and in Asheville and down into South Carolina, could there be a slight lee-side enhancement going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Robert are forecasting royalty. Good call HT !!!! Nice pic Mike. It was a snow covered road drive home from work, and I enjoyed it. I have missed you my slippery friend.

Ya it looks like when the low starts to pull away from us there could be a NW flow component kick in which is pretty common for these type setups. Just something else to add to the snow total. Going with 3-6 inches when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been there pretty much all day causing my totals to be so low. Even blue sky every now and then. Weird. Don't know if I've ever seen this before.

Often there is sinking motion in between frontogentic bands which in this case are rather stationary relative to themselves. I think that is why but not sure.
