WxBlue Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Have to blame the employers, too. I told my boss it was snowing hard in Fayetteville and coming this way. She let us leave at 12:00, just in time. If we hadn't closed then I was going to leave anyway. Some employers just don't care. It is not worth it, though. I've heard back from my friends in Triangle and they agree with you. It's the employers holding them too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Fufkin Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yes! Snow FINALLY mixing in with the sleet in Sandy Springs. Very fine grains reminiscent of March 93... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 we're up to 4.1" now in Clayton!!!! Starting to mix with sleet and ice pellets. Still 27, but the DP has climbed to 27 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua in Charlotte Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah I thought that may happen looking at the CC radar. There's a nice blip of high returns in the middle of it. That was quick - back to all snow now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Whiteout here,winds gusting to 15-20 mph. 3'' easy,piling up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDeac Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Good to hear snow mixing BACK in for GA folks. That would indicate that 850s should crash once the storm continues to pivot further NE. Also, just heard what I'm almost positive was a lengthy rumble of thunder in Dilworth!

davenc Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yes and notice the building in NE GA.. Yay!Love the buildup in GA. Nice to here reports of snow mixing in around ATL. 10" doesn't seem out of reach with this storm. Fingers crossed for no sleet to supress total.

Wow Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Whiteout here,winds gusting to 15-20 mph. 3'' easy,piling up fast. I go out to measure and by the time I get here to post there's probably another 1/2" down since. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Sounds like WxSouth thinks more snow is coming. Precip is about to be developing quickly in VA, NC where it hasn't already and is about to re-develop quickly in much of northern half of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The upper wave that is going to dive in and phase is approaching the Gulf low, and the strong divergence aloft is causing precip to rapidly blossom. You can view it on the radar snap shot below. First frames are a 12 hour loop, but the second animation is a closer up view of Atlanta radar, showing the moisture rapidly redeveloping under perfect conditions. Translation: Major Snowstorm extreme northern GA, eastern TN , western Carolinas much of piedmont NC and VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheronNC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I've heard back from my friends in Triangle and they agree with you. It's the employers holding them too long. In the year 2014, there are things called Citrix, VPNs, Gotomeeting, and WebEx. For employers to not utilize that technology on days like this is inexcusable.

10below Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 4 inches here on HWY 49 east of Denton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalAnalystwx13 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The Wilmington area is crazy. We picked up a quarter inch of ice yesterday and at least that, probably much more, this morning, as it has been pouring freezing rain since about 4am. Trees and power poles are down everywhere, and you can hear the constant sound of more cracking and falling. Definitely an ice storm to remember here.

burgertime Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Pingers mixing in here with light snow. As for the bright green bands (seen on the link below) Rankin who is directly under them says it's sleet mixing in but still heavy snow. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=GSP-N0C-1-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 2.5-3" now. Like Wow, when it comes down HARD, it's like a 1/2" is added in no time. I had to be in 2"/rates there about 30 min ago. 75/25 snow/graupel but looks and sounds to be getting back down to 90/10 to 100% all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharonA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 We went from regular sleet to a brief couple of minutes of freezing rain - near-instantaneous ice-sheeting over the driveway! - back to mostly sleet, and as of about five minutes ago, it's switched over to snow/sleet mix. In the space of two minutes we had a grand demonstration of the difference between sleet and freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterhawk Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Sleet and ZR; normally I'd be happy with a sleetfest but considering the snow forecast this bites; FAIL in Southern Forsyth.. Just did a little drive-around; roads are some wet some slush some ice at least around here. Congrats to those with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My brother is stuck on the road in Durham. Lots of posts on facebook from folks stuck on the road. Just got this one from a friend's wife: Greg stuck on Garret. He said cars stopped. People getting out and leaving cars. Anyone know if it's moving at hope valley or any where else? Or should he start walking home? How does this happen ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Snow and sleet coming down hard in alpharetta per parents Very impressive sleet here in Dunwoody last hour and piling up fast! Pavement covered with this new layer of sleet. This part of storm seems to be be overperforming and more IP still to come plus snow expected tonight. Now pretty steady at 29.1.
