featherwx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Per the WRAL radar, looks like the frozen stuff is having a hard time crossing the Orange/Durham line-weird how that usually seems to be the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 3.72'' Ground is soaked,lot of water puddles in the backyard.Saw some snow showers around 10:30 and lasted a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, meh, that was kind of disappointing. I guess seeing flakes fly is never a bad thing, but I didn't even get a dusting on the elevated surfaces. On to the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Best flakes so far. Been switching back and forth recently. Ashame the backedge is coming... Oh well... But cant complain with 2 minor snow events before Dec 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nada. I saw flakage.....and that will have to be good enough for November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Did anyone get any accumulations on the foothills or Piedmont? Not here. But guess the good thing about this type of weather pattern if continues it should be about 2 more weeks till our next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Here in the Western Foothills I picked up about 1/4 an inch on elevated surface but was so wind blown, so minus the wind probably would have had more accumulation. Had sleet at the onset then switched over to big pancake like snowflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Did anyone get any accumulations on the foothills or Piedmont?. Airport officially recorded a trace. During peak flakage, there was a coating on mulch and enough on the car roof to make 2 snowballs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 It snowed off and on between 9:00 AM and 12:30 PM IMBY. There were occasional moderate snow showers, but mostly just light snow. The temperature never fell below 35 F over that period, and the rates were not enough to overcome the "warm" ground. Ergo, no accumulation for me, but I consider it quite the awesome Thanksgiving Eve day anyway. This just whets my appetite for more wintery fun and games. Can we get a storm for the history books this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I did pick up 3.36 inches of rainfall out of this system. Awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I drove 30 minutes up to Opelika, AL to catch my sleet/flurry activity and it was so worth it!!! Wish I would have decided to head north in to Chambers County Alabama where they saw better snow rates, but oh well! I'm happy with what I saw and glad I mentioned it in my weathercast Sunday night, before the other local outlets said it. My twitter handle is wxreese if you want to see a photo or two of the sleet on my car. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowinnc Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Very light snow mixed with rain in North Raleigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 No snow in Clayton yet - one more band to go. Temp down to 39° now. Did see some really sloppy raindrops 90 minutes ago while I was in town, but they weren't slushy enough to qualify as frozen precipitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we get a storm for the history books this season? I know I'm ready for a "monster storm". We haven't had one since 2002. We're due! I don't think I've ever seen three wintry events in November, so that is quite remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 KATL's 0.4" of snow on 11/27/2013 was the first Nov. measurable snow there since the 0.6" of 1975! This makes it only the 4th measurable Nov. snow since 1890. The other two were in 1968 (1.0") and 1912 (2.2"). The 1912 event was pretty widespread over much of the SE US.
