SnowNiner Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 What radar are you looking at? Looks like it's headed straight for us, and more building behind it as it comes into view. I was looking at the NWS page radar. Heaviest precip looked too South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapelhillwx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Currently 27 and 1.5" and fatties falling Interesting, have yet to see large flakes here. Intensity has picked up though. You are prob a good indicator of what is to come for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Looking at the radar it's pivoting more NNE to NNW now. You're right it looks like that now. What radar are you looking at? Looks like it's headed straight for us, and more building behind it as it comes into view. I'm referring to the radar in NE GA and NW SC. Looks kind of sparse. Hoping it fills in.

NCWeSU Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 A few flurries flying north of 64 in Cary. It's as if the precip shield is inching northward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterhawk Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Light drizzle and ice pellets still, maybe my neighbors river birch will split; hate that tree.. edit - GA Power up to 118,000 outages. Not to make light of those without power but wonder where catastrophic fits in with those numbers. My EMC Sawnee reports 1 outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCWX Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Lull is over and sleet has picked up in intensity here in Big Canoe, Ga. north of McElroy Mt. at 1700'. We went over briefly to freezing drizzle, but now the radar is filling in to the west. Temp. 27F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It is soooooo dry here in the triad. Now with the wind picking up I am questioning how much qpf it will take to drop to the surface. This is a frozen booger kind of dry. Temps still dropping too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Unless this storm has something else up it's sleeve, this storm is almost a non-event in west metro. Really surprised at how tame it's been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherokeeGA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 NE Cherokee County, GA. Temp: 27 DP: 27 Winds: gusting E 21 Precip: none of any note since about 9am So far, we are significantly below forecast precip for the area on an hour by hour basis. I think that even if it starts living up to the forecasts later, we'll overall end up below total forecast; it would have to exceed/overperform tonight to get us up to the total precip/snowfall maps that were tossed out for here.

WxKnurd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was looking at the NWS page radar. Heaviest precip looked too South. It's the fine flakes that is frustrating no doubt, 2 hrs and a .10 of an inch to show but just gotta be patient. Considering better dendrite growth is being produced in this storm when you get under a heavier return, I'm not too worried at the moment. Ready to see what this storm can do when it goes BOOM.

windyinnc Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not a problem at all... all these terms can get confusing. In some cases, you can actually get a deformation band that forms along the warm front where WAA and CAA are battling each other, helping to tighten the temperature gradient and form the front (frontogenesis). This case though the frontogenesis is "tilted" since the CAD wedge and associated CAA is strongest around 925 hPa and the WAA associated with the warm front is riding over between 850-700 hPa. So the "deformation" doesn't occur at one specific level you can point to on the map, and it typically results in a pretty widespread area of snowfall as a result. We need a "like" feature" for great posts. Awesome information. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwupstatewx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm in NW SC (Pickens County) - snowing harder here than it has all day and flakes are getting larger. Sitting at just under 2". Radar watching with everyone else, but NWS GSP just revised totals up with 11AM update. Looks like on model guidance heavier banding will not occur until after 2-3P.

FLweather Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It is soooooo dry here in the triad. Now with the wind picking up I am questioning how much qpf it will take to drop to the surface. This is a frozen booger kind of dry. Temps still dropping too. Radar returns show the snow level(virga) dropping in the northern sections of NC triad and RDU. Should start seeing flurries here shortly probably another hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
