Gray Mills Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Moderate to heavy snow in Rockingham NC 60 miles east of Charlotte. Roads covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This looks great to me... That slug of convective precip will stall and move up the E half of NC while precip fills in west of it as the coastal revvs up. Near exactly as modeled. Are you in Mooresville? I see NOTHING outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormsfury Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 .25" of ice here, Significant amounts of tree branches snapping off, power still on here but power has been going out in many areas. This is already far worse than the 1/29 event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherokeeGA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I've been worrying about that for days and had a bad feeling it could negatively effect those downstream. I know for almost certainty I'm not going to pick up nearly as much as the models have been showing. Pretty much every model gave me 2 inches or more. I've had about 0.45 to 0.50 i'm guessing so far and it's extremely hard to believe i pick up anything close to 1.5 for the rest of the system. In fact most of the total precip was supposed to fall by 18z today. . If I manage 0.80 by tonight, that would normally be a good total for a winter event. But that pales in comparison to the 2, 2.5, and even close to 3 inches the models have been given my location for days. One can only assume that the convection has played a role, as I feared it might. Maybe some of us can make up for some lost ground with the deformation axis but I'm not sure it will even come far enough south to give me anything more than a flurry. Would be a disappointing storm if it under performs this much for my location. Although I am happy about not getting destructive ice. ..which for a while last night I seriously began to think that was going to be the case when the best i could get going was a rain/freezing rain/sleet mix. Maybe it will redevelop and fill in though..Will be interesting to see how the rest of the storm goes and for the rest of you too. Yep my gut's telling me we're busting a bit up here. On the one hand, I'm glad that if this is overall less severe than forecast in ATL/NGa, there won't be as much damage, fewer/shorter outages, etc. That's really good for people. On the other hand, with the NWS and media still using words like "catastrophic" etc., should this really bust like it appears it may be in process of doing, it's frustrating, and not because I'm pouting about not getting the precip. It's because next time, business owners and officials will be less likely to pay attention and let people stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 .25" of ice here, Significant amounts of tree branches snapping off, power still on here but power has been going out in many areas. This is already far worse than the 1/29 event. It's 97,000 now on GA power which is remarkable given the light precip rates it might be 250,000 already with heavy FZRA.

CherokeeGA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's 97,000 now on GA power which is remarkable given the light precip rates it might be 250,000 already with heavy FZRA. It's not too remarkable when two things are considered - we have a lot of soft wood trees here generally speaking, and it doesn't take much to hurt them; and, more importantly, we haven't had any icing in years so they haven't been "pruned" by mother nature in quite some time. There's definitely some low hanging fruit, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasonsoflove Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 1/4-1/2" here. ZR/ice pellets falling, light at times, moderate at others. One tree has already split, several more are looking queasy. Power has flickered a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 the heavier returns moving into ne are actually a combination of snow, sleet and freezing rain imby right now lol. temp 21 went ahead and took some measurements, which ranged from 7.5" up to 9" thinking that yesterdays snow was 4.5" when it stopped, and about 4" in the evening.

WxKnurd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Mother of God Yes please. That band currently over Lancaster means business. Ready for some better dendrite growth up NW of you, still, working on a dusting. As soon as flake size increases I'm ready to say Game On! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just a plain old rain here. 35 degrees. Coldest IMBY was 34.0. Inland areas of Berkeley and Dorchester County (as close as Goose Creek and Summerville) are really getting ice. Tons of power outages and road closures.

We never have a system slow down when it is headed to DC.......ever! This system will accelerate NE and be hanging out with the Bostonians @30.

Aquawind Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well the first blob this morning is being nipped by the dry air and progress north has been stopped. However you can see the echos in NE GA are moving at a more northward trajectory and things will fill in this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernWx2 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Over an inch of liquid since midnight, but temperature fall was delayed; just now reached 31 here in Newnan. Very little icing apparent even in trees...most rain fell with temp 32.5 to 35. Much greater ice just too my east and north with numerous friends reporting power outages (Fayette/ So Fulton/ Douglas/ Paulding counties). Current temp is 31.1...the low for the day. Rainfall since midnight 1.02". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
