WidreMann Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Not sure why people are declaring RDU a bust when we're not finished yet. I still think 3" is doable and that would not be a bust at all (at least not for the NWS or WRAL -- the models, mostly yes).The back-edge, while struggling to stay going is still struggling. With all the dry air around, and the tendency for the precip to be east of US-1, can you tell me how we're still supposed to get another inch or two out of this? Especially when it took 5 hours to get the first 1-1.5"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMA1973 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Oh i thought most on here had been saying .5 qpf. Maybe we get to 3"....just need to double what we have in the next hour.

flotownsc Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hvy Snow now in Florence right at I-95 & I-20 looks like precip is building back further south and west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDeac Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ended up with about 1.5 just south of Uptown. Roads were a mess earlier tonight driving home from a neighborhood bar. However, to my surprise, some of the main roads had been plowed (yes 1.5 inches were plowed), and it made a great deal of difference., The snow/crust was pretty much wiped away and wet roads were left. However, as we all know, this could cause major black issues. Either way, I don't think much of anything will be going on in the city tomorrow morning.

JWXnc Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 About 2 inches along the border of Franklin and Nash Counties (NC). Pic was taken around midnight. Thermometer reads 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovingGulfLows Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You know what I find interesting. The last 4 major snows(2+ inches) that have occurred in Atlanta have all had different setups. March 2009 was a strong cold core bowling ball ULL. Feb 2010 was a classic Miller A Gulf low system. Jan 2011 was a overrunning event. Now it seems to be an arctic frontal boundary event.

Supercane Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The back-edge, while struggling to stay going is still struggling.

Especially when it took 5 hours to get the first 1-1.5"? Take it for what it's worth, but the last few RAP runs do show radar beefening up a bit for central NC over the next 2-3 hours before this exits altogether. Radar shows the backend of the stream of precip filling in some which seems to back that idea up. Plus the flakes are a little bigger. Not saying we'll all hit 3" for sure but given all the above, I think it's entirely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwiwx Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 1/2" sleet and snow mix under a little over 3" of pure snow for an accumulation approaching 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Very interesting storm so far here. Started as plain rain, was freezing rain straight for four hours or so, now sleet and freezing rain mixing. Power was just out for about an hour. Flickered all night.

FLweather Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Strange, it's still snowing at my house in High Point. Not for long final slug of moisture and its out.

cmh90 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Finally some snow mixing in with the sleet, good time to go to sleep. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercane Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 About 2 inches here just south of Cary. Everything is covered, for the first time since Dec 2010. Still a light but steady snow falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 1/2" sleet and snow mix under a little over 3" of pure snow for an accumulation approaching 4". 1/2" of IP and an inch of fine powder on top so far, changed over about an hour ago. Wind whipped type, ratios should continue to improve, think you are in a good spot for 8", maybe 6 here, radar does look good for the next 4-6 hours, flake size on the up tick and vis slowly coming down.

FLO Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well after watching zr for an hr snow just ended in CAE with just over 3 inches in CAE. Ill take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It's still spitting small flurries here, so we've now had 12 hours of continuous snowfall, though a fair amount of it was very light snow or flurries. It's cool, in any case. Sounds like CAE made out pretty well after the changeover. If you all didn't have P-type issues, it could have been really good.

J.C. Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Congrats. How much ice accumulation beforehand? I'm guessing everything will be closed tomorrow. Thanks! I actually think it is a little closer to 3" now. I would think everything is closed, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg12x Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Woke up to still just some light freezing rain and sleet at 30F. Disappointed to not have managed any snowflakes. My quest to see snow in Charleston continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ended up with right at 2"(back porch). Definitely a bust from what the models were saying but still within the low range RAH had me in (2-4). Little disappointed but should feel lucky. Looked for a while that we would get less than that.
