Wild Weather Monger Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Regarding the Alabama snow. While the insane returns over Birmingham have diminished, of interest is the recent expansion of returns beginning to show up south and east of the vort max. Lets see if this continues as it heads towards Georgia. http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.php?rid=BMX&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaStorm Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'll be; light snow mixing in with sleet, Southern Forsyth County, GA I'm also in Southern Forsyth and noticed the snow has picked up. Hoping that heavy band in Alabama can hold together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My God. Reports of 6" per hour rates in Birmingham Having a hard time buying that one-- far exceeds rates on the Tug Hill in single band LES events and upsloping Cascades snowfalls. 3" per hour would be extremely unusual, double that is hard to imagine.

WxKnurd Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Could hear it pour sleet between walks and radar backed that up as well as any details in my boot tracks being gone too. Sleeting pretty good now, big band of sleet primed to swing through back in gaston and should be snow behind it per COC radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysum Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Sleetmageddon taking place here in Spartanburg. Has a little snow in it but man is it coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I sure hope this storm gives me something in the way of snow, after pretty much passing me by, lol. 1/3 zr, 1/4 inch sleet, and 1.75 inches of rain. An inch of snow would go a long way to making me feel part of the party What a bummer of a storm so far, compared to the promise it had, with nothing much falling all day, and the power out for 9 out of 11 hours, lol. Maybe next time...there is always next time! Glad for those that saw the event of their lives, savor it..it maybe 30 years you'll have to wait for another. It's been 34 years I've been waiting...and still waiting, lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Charlotte metro about to get pounded with precip. Sleeting 20 miles NE of the city now. Sure hope we get some snow out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well, I've literally timed how long it's been since it started sleeting, and it's been a whole 6 hours since 3pm. Proof of the impressiveness of the warm nose. Right now, per the COD radar, the sleet pellets are at their heaviest here indicated by the orange/yellow. In fact, it's coming down so hard you would think it's raining when really it's just hitting the rooftop and windows that hard. Hopefully the snow/sleet line will scour out sometime soon and get a kick back to snow. Sitting at 22° now. I'll tell you guys this, though. Sleet's not all bad. Not only does it make for great sledding conditions when combined with snow or if you've got several inches of it all compacted on the ground, but it would allow the snow to stick around longer since it'll be nothing but hard snow and ice and thus will not melt as quickly.
