Epps88 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Trained Spotter measured 9.3" in Danville. My house was mostly anywhere from 7-9" or so, depending on where you measured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 MODIS image of the snow cover. Note the northwest S.C. snow hole. Why don’t you pour a little more salt in my wound! That’s the story of my life here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This event brings back very painful memories... The map is a little overdone for Clemson. I was there and never able to measure an inch from this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigrgd Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This event brings back very painful memories... The map is a little overdone for Clemson. I was there and never able to measure an inch from this storm. I remember that one well. Clemson really does seem to be the epicenter of the snow hole -- probably because of its relatively low elevation by the lake. A meteorologist colleague of mine in Clemson swears the warming effect of Lake Hartwell itself tends to inhibit snow near town. I'm not too sure about that, but I remember many times when folks would say it's snowing in Pickens, Easley, Greenville, etc. while we'd be sitting there in Clemson with nothing.

sparklecity Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This event brings back very painful memories... The map is a little overdone for Clemson. I was there and never able to measure an inch from this storm. Uhhh don't remind me of that storm. I was in school at Clemson for that storm and my parents in Spartanburg. We basically got nothing while in Spartanburg almost a foot. Talk about a meltdown. That's when I came to the conclusion wherever I am will be the snowfall minimum. For some reason though the eastern part of the Upstate seems to get more on average than the western part. There was also the huge icestorm than basically spared the Clemson area and crippled Spartanburg. I was irritated that I missed that too, but I got over that one pretty quickly since it was just freezing rain. Plus I kept my power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This event brings back very painful memories... The map is a little overdone for Clemson. I was there and never able to measure an inch from this storm. This was fairly similar to the Jan 2000 "Carolina Crusher" storm as well. That was a little more to the SE, but greenwood got over 6 inches with areas north of CAE over to Lancaster getting over a foot. Western upstate; flurries.

superjames1992 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 No bare spots in this yard yet, but there's some bare spots across the street in areas that get full sun for pretty much the entire day. At least I made it through this morning until any bare spots appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hard to believe 10-16 inches melts this quick, oh yeah, I only got 4. . Still some on the shady side of the house where the drifts were, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I was in Batesburg-Leesville for the weekend at a retreat and there was a lot of snow/ice remaining, especially on the grassy areas near the marsh. Even today when it was near 60, there were still small pockets of it remaining. The tree damage on I-26 is unbelievable. There are trees lining the road in some parts from about MM 195 to 155.

superjames1992 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I've got about 95% coverage in my back yard and 100% in my front yard, though the areas across the street that get full sun all day are mostly melted. Much of my yard is covered in a glacier that doesn't even compact when it is stepped on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine inches of snow and sleet that's compacted, melted, refroze, melted and refroze again into a 4" thick block of ice! I went to take the dogs out this morning and slipped on it at the top of the hill where you come out of the house. Before I could get my footing they had dragged me all the way to the bottom of the hill on my arse!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowblzchance N CLT Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Film at 11? Oh, I hope not lol ! But the neighbors probably had a good laugh I'm sure. That's the second time this week the dogs got to experience living their "inner sled dog". Except the first time it was on purpose pulling my son and he at least was sitting in a sled ha ha.

superjames1992 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Today was another devastating day for the snowpack. My backyard is down to around half-coverage, though the front yard is still almost fully covered and quite thick (most of it barely gets any sun). The yards across the street are completely melted except for a few areas that get a little shade. I suspect I'll have the snow piles from where I shoveled the driveway around for awhile. They might last until the next cold snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have only one sliver of snow left, definitely aided by sleet compaction. But having 50 and 60 degree temps the last 3 days, it amazing to have any left!? It must be waiting on the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Going south from Atlanta on I-675 Monday afternoon, I didn't notice many trees down due to the icestorm until I almost got to I-75 (just west of Stockbridge). Then I noticed them again on both sides of Forsyth just off of I-75 S. After this, I saw the last ones of note about 15 miles ESE of Macon just off of I-16 E near Jeffersonville. I didn't expect to see anything east of Macon but I did. Aside: The cops were plentiful around the Griffin/Jackson areas near the median. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Larry, you know there is a section there right around Forsyth that was due to tornado damage, that section has been there a few years now, it kinda sits at the top of a hill. Cops are ALWAYS plentiful there. Like they have nothing else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This damage to which I'm referring is further south on both sides of Forsyth and is, of course, nowhere near as extensive as that from the intense tornado though is pretty notable.

FLweather Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 That 10" mark looks suspicious in person county. I wonder if someone measured a drift and called it 10. The freezing rain map as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That map seems to accurately denote the N upstate snow hole, but seems off in the N Gaston county and Lincolnton areas of NC. There were alot of 12-16+ totals in that general area and north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Here's the NESIS accumulation map. This covers a 4 day period, Feb 11-14. Myrtle Beach did not get 4-10" of snow. They didn't get any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Myrtle Beach did not get 4-10" of snow. They didn't get any. It was probably a SC language barrier issue. NWS Wil. Met: Go out and measure the snow. SC Spotter: Wa fo. NWS Wil Met: Got four. Ok, Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting this map, too, so you can add these amounts to the February 12-13, 2014 map for a cumulative amount from both storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
