wake4est Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Snow in Holly Springs pretty moderate. Roads covered in SW Wake County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepandfetch Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The snow in the triad (at least in Whitsett) seems almost like sleet. Very small flakes, but it is pouring. Earlier today the roads were turning white before the grass, just to show how cold the ground was. very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreensboroWx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Looks like the back edge stretches all the way past Hickory. If this snow keeps up at this rate, we're seriously good for like 4". I don't know if it will, but it's pouring pixie dust out there. The roads are a disaster. The Triad has several more hours of snow to go, mostly light but pockets of heavier snow will be possible. I have ~1" on my deck right now and the snow is picking up. Very small flakes with slightly bigger ones mixed in now. The roads are HORRIBLE. My temp is 18degF.

weatherfide Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The latest RAP model run has a band of precip bowing back over Atlanta for a few hours tonight before sinking south to central GA. Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nice moderate snow here at the house. Roads are getting white. Reminds me of a snow in northern Michigan. Very fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Finished with between 2 and 2.5 here. What a day. I'll post more about it when I have more time. People walking down our street asking for rides, food, and a bathroom. It's like a scene out of the movie The Day After Tomorrow haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Have received 3/4 of an inch so far, might get to an inch, but back end rapidly approaching! Ground is white, so I'm happy and can't call a bust. I couldn't get any big flakes to save my life! Ten minutes of dime sized at best, rest were very fine and up to pencil eraser sized!

rxwxunc Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I am looking out a thrid floor office window in Chapel Hill at UNC. Nothing yet that I can see. It might be very light at this point. Temp. 23, dp 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliapalooza Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Still receiving steady, pixie dust like snow here in NE Meck County. Not sure how this is going to end up being 2 inches, let alone 3. But hey--it's snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senc30 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I live in wallace nc which is about 35 miles northwest of wilmington. I have over an inch of ice of my truck right now and its been sleeting hard for 2 hours now. I wish is would either rain or snow. Can't stand the ice!

calculus1 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A nice little deform band is heading through the county. Total of less than 1/2". Very nice in deed. Definitely, Strong. Very beautiful and more snow than I could have hoped for in the past couple of days. I measured just over 3 cm on the back deck. OK, fine, I'll use the units we're all more familiar with, but it doesn't sound nearly as impressive. I'm just shy of 1.5 inches on the deck rail. I'm sure if I measured in the grass, I could get 2+, but that's cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Weather Monger Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The latest RAP model run has a band of precip bowing back over Atlanta for a few hours tonight before sinking south to central GA. Curious. Radar and satellite has been intriguing this evening. Just when it looked like it would quickly come to an end for me here between Atlanta and Athens, that big area of returns expanding up from the south has me glued to the laptop. Nice to read there is some model support, and not just me wish casting for mby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullCityWx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nice moderate snow here at the house. Roads are getting white. Reminds me of a snow in northern Michigan. Very fine. my thoughts too. incredibly dry snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Very light snow here. Covering the ground and road. It's going to have to pick up a lot, though, to get those rates greater than 10:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheronNC Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Very light snow here. Covering the ground and road. It's going to have to pick up a lot, though, to get those rates greater than 10:1. The ratios are probably greater than 10:1 - it's just precipitating about 0.001" per hour in liquid right now.

SnowDeac Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Very light snow here. Covering the ground and road. It's going to have to pick up a lot, though, to get those rates greater than 10:1. Not sure you have this down. Unless you're saying 1/10 of an inch per hour. Your ratios are probably fine/pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 That precip over the triad is joining up with the moisture around RDU. Hopefully it will juice it up some next couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Still snowing. nice! even though the heaviest have moved east, still getting stead, but light, snow falling. it isnt pivoting/moving north from what i can tell in those frames, but its eastward move may have slowed own. the RAP has shown one more band moving through parts of ga before the final end. thats sort of what i am looking (hoping lol) for.

UpStateCAD Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 well.....thank God nothing was ever really projected here in the upstate........per the radar it is about to quickly come to an end and as predicted orignally we ended up with just a little over or maybe even a little under a dusting. At least I can say I saw snow fall this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECW Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This was from about 2 hours ago here in N. Winston-Salem with .50 on the ground. We're a little over an inch now with a moderate snow falling. We will probably end up between 2-3 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how I was not really expecting to see much, I sure am happy. Been snowing since 11:30. Road are wreck here! But I got my first jeb-walk in since a few years back!

Nice to read there is some model support, and not just me wish casting for mby. I am with you there. I have right at 1" on my porch rail. Seems we got more sleet than snow. If we could be some big fluffy snow flakes than we just might make that 2 -3" mark. I live in Loganville as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OroAeolus Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I have friends who are planning on spending the night at North Point mall in Alpharetta. They can't get on the interstates to head home and have all just turned around and headed back to the mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaPilot Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Measuring just barely 2 inches here on south side of FFC. Awesome to get snow, but no real big deal IMHO. Snow still really light. Saw nothing more than that all day. I doubt we see anyone with more than 3 officially. Never saw the rates on radar to give anyone a real shot at that anywhere around the metro area at least. The real story around ATL tonight and into tomorrow is going to be the traffic and school related nightmares that are ongoing. Most if not ALL the main interstates and secondary roads are completely gridlocked. Service and treatment vehicles are caught in the jams and cannot get to where they are needed. Roads are in horrible shape most places. The roads did not go downhill until this afternoon really as most surfaces were still warm(from last two days of torch) and they stayed wet with little accumulation until 3 or 4 oclock. Now after sundown its all turning into Ice and the traffic cams around ATL are telling the story. You are either in gridlock and can barely move or the roads are deserted because of trucks jacknifed and vehicles all over the shoulders etc. Its a giant mess. I think that as the night goes on a lot of folks are going to run out of gas and they will leave their vehicles....its already started. Lots of students of many schools are either remaining at school overnight or are trapped in buses trapped in traffic. I do not recall seeing anything this bad in the last few big snow events of the last 20 years. Even the 93 Superstorm didnt result in this traffic situation unfolding. This will be the legacy of this storm in ATL. Hopefully it does not end up being tragic. Folks just did not appear to think this through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
