broken024 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Switched back to heavy snow after mixing with sleet for 20 minutes in Waxhaw. Hopefully that was it for the sleet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDeac Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well bummer. Sleet already mixing in here in Dilworth. That didn't take too long. Hope we can get back to all snow before the deform band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherokeeGA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Really coming down at the house. I barley out-raced the storm getting home from work. Wife is still in North Raleigh but she is basically at a stand still. Says there are tons of wreaks. Current temp at house has fallen to 21.1 degrees. It could rise by ten degrees and still be below freezing...amazing. Terrible drive home from work in Morrisville to Cary. Didn't take but 10 minutes for the roads to turn into a sheet of ice. Thankfully I didn't have too many more hills to try and navigate. Heard Edwards Mill heading toward Crabtree Mall in Raleigh is a real nightmare. Cars can't get down the hill safely after several spun out. People beginning to ditch their cars in Raleigh all over place. 2005 Sequel!!! Plows are unable to plow now I thought everyone claimed Atlanta was the only metro with incompetent drivers who don't know how to drive on ice and a government/DOT full of idiots?

Brick Tamland Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Got home at. 12:30 right before the snow started. Snowing like crazy. Stuck so fast and traffic is crazy in Wake County. Glad I got home before it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well bummer. Sleet already mixing in here in Dilworth. That didn't take too long. Hope we can get back to all snow before the deform band. It may not be fully sleet. I experienced a less heavy version of this last year under that convective band. It doesn't lay down like sleet at all. It's just a really heavy wet snowflake if that makes sense. The bigger flakes are coming as I have nickle and quarter sized falling now.

WxKnurd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not a pure snow, not all sleet, snow/graupel mix that looks like all snow. Working on inch number 2. Give me 6-8" total of this please if I have to deal with mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Heaviest snow I've ever seen. It's incredible how fast it's falling. Flakes are getting bigger now too. That seems to be a theme of this storm. I saw the largest snow flakes I've ever seen this morning. They were like mini saucer dishes coming down. It was incredible. Interesting how the last storm had that annoying star dust and this one has the giant, make you want to slap your momma, type flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheronNC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Jan 05 all over again in RDU. Just made it home thankfully i was heading north. Why wasn't today a snow day/closed day for Raleigh/Durham? I remember when I lived in the Triangle from 2006-2009, everyone was extremely cautious about not being at work or school in advance of any snow threat.

If it's what I have, it's not, just came in from letting the dogs out. Looked just like my pixie dust sized flakes sticking to each other. Now back to actual flakes, look dime-sized.

burrel2 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I just officially measured and came out with an average of 1.8 inches on flat surfaces. Currently in a lull, but I like the looks of what’s pivoting through atlanta at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua in Charlotte Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Still heavy heavy snow (no sleet) at 77/485 in North Charlotte! About 2 inches on the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 What's up, SE crew? Been an AWFULLY long time since I've last posted here, but considering our major system at hand here, I thought I'd start posting here to help with OBS. Anyway, the snow is really coming down here in southwestern Gaston county! Flakes went from being very fine to large in a matter of 2 minutes while I went walking out to a nearby Dollar Tree, which was real tough when you're having to face the wind AND the blowing snow! Temp has fallen to 22° with DP matching it. Was at 27° with a DP of 18° at 7am before the snow began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
