VeronicaCorningstone Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Long time lurker...just wanted to provide my feedback to anyone who is curious...I'm in west Wilson, NC (halfway between Raleigh and Greenville)...we have nothing but snow so far and about 6 inches of it. Hey neighbor! Wow...Got a lot more than us here in town, it sounds like. You should be changing over soon. Almost all sleet now here close to downtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I believe I'd trade my right nut for the amounts the euro showing tomorrow. Would surpass my bench mark plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Dual pole shows I'm about to go to sleet. Heavy snow and the flakes are getting bigger. Won't be long, I'm afraid. You've had a pretty good run though. Keep hope alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 OMG the Highways in Charlotte are a DISASTER! Charlotte looks great on the traffic maps compared to Raleigh. They are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeronicaCorningstone Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Veronica, what part of Wilson Co.? are you in? I'm right here off 95 and we have a lot more than 3 inches. I am near Recreation Park w the train...I really couldn't a great measurement out on the deck so it may be a little more but it averaged to around 3. Wind has really been whipping so I'm sure that's not helping. Definitely almost all sleet now. Still some big flakes mixed tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncskywarn Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Wow you guys in Raleigh didn't learn from the Atlanta situation. SMDH. WRAL said that a skywarn spotter reported they have only moved about 150 ft in a hour and 15 min on Glenwood Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Who, everyone that lives in the mtns? I think it's inland too, if inland means over HAT, but if inland means over Jacksonville, ain't happening. One reason I have hardly posted in the storm thread, if you disagree with the Euro it's treated like blasphemy. The Euro actually ticked east a little and the deform band was east too, should be interesting to see how this turns out. I think we will get 3-4" with some ice, nice storm for us, if we stay all frozen this will be one of my favorite storms in quite a long time (although this is the first storm in quite a long time :-) Yes, the Euro has ticked east some. It was hammering Mt. Airy and the northern foothills with the deformation band yesterday, which it's now mostly moved over the N/NW Piedmont. How much of the deformation band makes it into the triangle? Not much. A few tenths of QPF or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't think we get that much freezing rain. Maybe sleet. But if that low goes off the coast we might get more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go against the euro. I'll go ahead say it again.... No way the SLP is hitting land other than FL. The inverted trough axis off the coast of Jacksonville, FL GA, SC,NC simply does not support it. With that said. Thats the reason why probably of the so call tick east of the euro like SJ said is occuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpStateCAD Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 huge bust so far in the upstate.....so far only 0.13 inch of liquid at the GSP airport as of 2:52. and nothing currently falling Most models showed us with over 1.25 total for the storm. Radar has a huge dry slot right now. I realize that this storm has not wrapped up yet but all projected totals are ramping down. Very dissapointing. edit.....sleeting like crazy.....NO SNOW FOR YOU!!

VeronicaCorningstone Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Snow is done. All sleet now. I dunno...I had switched over for a while and now I'm back to pretty heavy snow. Keep switching back and forth. There is still sleet mixed in but when the rates pick up, I'm going back into at least half and half territory. Edit - back to moderate sleet.

nckhawk Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I live on Glenwood in Raleigh. My son is towing folks up the hill to St. Mary's in his 96 5 speed Disco. The RWD BMWs and Mercedes are the ones having the hardest time. Things are moving albeit slowly. I think many of these are the folks who had to stay at work (banks, grocery stores, etc..). If the sleet / ice come in on top of this they are screwed. Head east low pressure....head east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not giving up yet but it's gonna have to really come down over here in Oconee to get to 8" which is the low end of what we were forecast. Heck I'd be happy with 5 or 6".A nice deform band with 2" per hour rates would do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Little over 3" at my house in Apex, absolutely pouring snow, we might get to 4". Went out sledding with the kids.
