Carolinasnow94 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 28 here with a dew point of 19. We got about 3 inches of snow here in Greenville,NC today but being east of Raleigh, it might end up being a wash out tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah, I'm right at 32 now. Untested zr thermometer, so it could be off a little. I came very, very close to moving to Habersham when we relocated here. Sort of wishing I did right about now lol. lol - sometimes its agonizing watching it snow in white county and dry up lee side here. other times this location seems to be ground zero for some storms. we got 4.5" this morning - i was surprised (although very very happy). grew up in athens so i know how yall feel down that way.

sctvman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 36 here, but 33.3 a couple of miles away by the Stono River at Woodland Shores. The wintry precip is starting inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yea its not changing over anytime soon looking at the CC from the ATL radar... snow line is well N at the moment. They sure are setting themselves up for a massive fail on that part of the storm. The only chance they had of snow was if there could be enough cooling at the start, which didn't happen. So the only other time is with the wrap around. Unless there is some unforeseen explosion of precip, no way they get more than an inch out of it. I'm down to 32.7 . This might get ugly quick. I'm a few miles SW of Kennesaw, GA btw. Already ugly here folks. Everything out there has iced up outside with continued freezing rain mixed with sleet at times. Every so often it might go over to mostly sleet but mainly both. Temp down to 31.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrasher Fan Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 32.2° but elevated surfaces are freezing up now so my thermometer is about .3° too warm. Still very light what would be zr now is falling. Dew point 31° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Dang, be safe man! We stopped at 32.7 and are sitting there. Looks like a fail on the snow and sleet. It's deja vu of all day today. The changeover was only as little as 5 miles away. I took a trip up the road and it was just unbelievable how close it was...and now this. Given the soundings it sure looked like there was a chance of several hours of snow here..but apparently that is all screwed up by a warm layer around 800mb of around 0.7c. Earlier model projections showed a completely below freezing profile to at most 0.1c there..apparently it's warmer than projected. Can only hope that as the wedge strengthens and the low levels cool even more it's able to refreeze some of this damn rain to sleet. even the 06z rap showed this layer going below freezing by now but it hasn't.

LovingGulfLows Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 ZR falling in North Conyers. Car is glazing, but the driveway has yet to start freezing up yet. And so it begins. The trees in the backyard are swaying like crazy from the winds too. Things are about to deteriorate over the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 intensity has increased big time, but i feel a little guilty since yall just to my south didnt get any snow (at least yet, got my fingers crossed). first pic without gust, second was with a wind gust. tops of the trees are really swaying at times edited to add: ps the snow on the trees is NOT from tonight. that was left over from this morning...

LovingGulfLows Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not sure if this will translate downstream, but for SC/NC folks, don't be surprised if the ice starts earlier than expected. I didn't expect ice until around 7-8 am. Things are going to become very scary here quickly with the early arrival of precip. Praying my power stays on. I'm already hearing strange sounds from the trees as the ZR begins to build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I may be looking at ZR within the next half hour to an hour with this faster fall. 32.5 in Dunwoody with rain but has fallen about a degree in less than an hour, the fastest since yesterday. Come on IP! I just hit 32.0 for the first time here in Dunwoody at 2:40 AM. Is is now 32.2. Still all rain/no IP and nothing yet freezing on the bushes from what I can tell. Come on IP, where are you? I never expected snow in this early period, but was hoping for IP. Edit: back down to 32.0 at 2:50 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Lookout, are you saying the temp profiles projections are a bust? I would have to say yes, at least in the mid levels. There was a solid snow or mostly snow/sleet sounding on every model each run here for the overnight hours to about 8 or 9am here. Obviously that's not the case.
