NorthernUpstateSC Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I did earlier... I really have to commend the GSP NWS because they did mention this several times today as being the primary reason for why the sleet went further north than expected. What needs to be mention is that the changeover wouldn't have happened if the moisture and precipitation had kept up over the upstate. When it starting getting scattered that was a bad sign that the deep moisture was no longer there. Phil, did the storms along the gulf coast today and this evening in fla. also help to cut off the moisture flow and help shaft us here in the upstate of sc as well?

knowledgeispwr Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I would love to get some backend snow with the ULL. Nice sleet storm going on right now in southern Winston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshWeather Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What really sucks is the weather enthusiast in me wants to get dumped on...but I'm supposed to drive from North Charlotte to Matthews at 7 AM to get home from work...and I'm afraid thats not going to happen NOW, much less if we get more.

NCSU_Pi Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Right now, it's all coming down liquid here, and the glaze is glowing. The power has flickered once tonight, though not enough to even reset my PC. Still, worried power won't last the night with branches sagging more and more.

Earlier this morning... it certainly could have had an impact. However, the problem since then has been the fact most of the forcing for lift was north and west (outside of the wedge) after the initial shot of WAA induced snowfall hit.

UpStateCAD Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 well.......looks to be about over in the upstate. Total precip at GSP was 0.8 inches but the big loser was at Greenville downtown airport (KGMU)......a whopping 0.49 inches and all sleet. I think I saw where it was GOM convection that robbed alot of our moisture transport. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for any winter weather I can get and it has been a blast tracking this storm since last week, but I be lying if I said I was not terrribly disappointed in the results in MBY after watching model after model spit out snow accumulations of anywhere from 8 to 12 plus inches. At this time I have about 3 inches of slop on the ground. I'll lick my wounds for a few days and jump back on the horse, but this one stung a bit.

superjames1992 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Man, GSO and INT are getting destroyed by heavy sleet right now. If only this was snow... I haven't seen sleet like this in years. Maybe PD II, but I'm not even sure that compared. Radar indicates the best is yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltadog03 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Whats terrible is that there is really NO way to know for sure if the GOM will rob moisture transport. It did today for sure!! from my area to atlanta and south, BUT the worst looser was the upstate. I feel really bad about that. I know there is NOTHING you can do, but it stings....

Phil, thanks for still providing some insight on NC being that you're not here anymore. So, what do you think about tomorrow....column cold enough for snow throughout the state and where do you think the best rates may be? Thanks!

However, the problem since then has been the fact most of the forcing for lift was north and west (outside of the wedge) after the initial shot of WAA induced snowfall hit. So in other words the upper air support went west the surface went east with pretty much a void in the middle for snowfall. Only to leave ip/zr.

(Still have our lamps and oil from Katrina) Trees starting to glaze over... no worries. Looks like the moisture is moving out of Charlotte for the night anyways. I don't expect anything significant again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only lasted about 15 minutes here between Asheboro and Denton, but that was intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Wow, that sleet meant business earlier. Easily an inch or more in sleet and the wind making it come down in sheets actually drifted it up in spots. 3-4" snow/sleet total is what I'll go with based on measurements earlier today/tonight and just a min ago. Definitely have some 6" spots around the front of the house and I'm sure in the back too. If we can get lucky enough to snag a quick 2-4" in the morning/afternoon like the HRRR is showing (actually shows 8-10 but it has to be smoking crack) I'll be ecstatic.

WidreMann Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Intermittent light ZR. Temps are steady. I think the warming must be due to the coastal front and other synoptic or mesoscale features, and not due to the latent heat of fusion. I don't think we've had heavy enough ZR to significantly raise temperatures. Since the 925mb low will be passing by just to the east shortly, we should stay below freezing here in Durham all night. Given the precip over central SC, I suppose we could reach the forecast 1/2" of ice, but I have my doubts. I expect to wake up with the power still on.

I know not the case all the time. I should have clarified that, was just agreeing with you about what it does basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
