davenc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Approaching 7 or 8 inches at my house in Charlotte since the fist flakes started falling. What a great encore to an awesome 3 days of winter weather in Charlotte. If you can't be happy with this you need to move to the Sierra Nevadas or something. Thanks for letting me lurk. Agree completely. Its nice to see the Charlitte area be somwwhat of a target for a winter storm. Very very seldom do we ever stay all snow so that hasnt been a surprise. So nice to end with this crazy burst of snow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I awoke here in Dunwoody about 7:45 to see still more snow falling and it had been snowing per radar and nearby hourly reports since about 6 AM. The total snow measured at about 8:30 AM is a solid inch or so giving me a total on the ground now of ~3" (2" of IP with thin glaze and 1" of snow on top). The temp. had actually risen to 32.5 when I was checking it outside. So, some melting had occurred along with a little bit of earlier compaction most likely. All told, I estimate that I got 4" total, which is a major storm for this area (~2.5" IP and ~1.5" snow). I also got ~1/10" of ice accrual. Moreover, when using an IP to snow multiplier of 2.5, I get the equivalent of ~7.5-8" of snow. So, I'm quite pleased with what I got from this storm (even though it wasn't "historical" or catastrophic and a bit underperforming vs. the Euro and other more reliable models with ~1" total liquid equiv. that included about 0.25" of R/ZR vs 1.5"). It is just beautiful outside. This ~2.5" of IP was the heaviest IP for this area since the 3+" of 1/1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks like GSO may get 30 minutes-hour of today's precipitation before it calls it a day. Was hoping for more, but oh well. Uh no, it will likely start around 12:00 and last several hours according to HRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Starting to whining down here as the axis moves to the east. Still just missed the heavy bands to my east. Missed them by maybe 20 miles Bostic, Rutherford County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Crap, back to drizzle. Looks like I'm going to have to wait about an hour to get better returns. At least by then, it should be all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setzy1517 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Uh no, it will likely start around 12:00 and last several hours according to HRRR So this snow that is just west of GSO is supposed to trend East? Or is the expectation for the radar to fill back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amos83 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 just dumping snow right now in Concord.... looks like we will stay under some good returns for a while 32 degrees and a good inch or two of new snow so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcclt Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just changed to all snow here in Midland. Changeover happened later than my friends 10 miles to the north in Concord but hopefully these flakes last a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJ Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So this snow that is just west of GSO is supposed to trend East? Or is the expectation for the radar to fill back in? As the ULL moves NE it will encompass the Triad area for several hours and will only start losing it's lift some as it passes over the Triad and diminishes towards the Triangle. I could see spots in the Triad getting 4-5 inches and 1-3 in the Triangle of additional accumulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJ Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Shouldn't we just be looking at real radars and obs at this point? The radar is matching up very nicely with the predicted radar that HRRR shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigrgd Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 How'd the folks in Pickens and Oconee Co, SC do with the snow last night? The Clemson webcams showed some snow this morning, but it seems like this was a big bust for you guys. There's something about the location of those areas relative to the mountains that causes them to miss out on the big snows so often. It weird: that never seemed to happen there when I was growing up in the 80s but you can almost count on it with every storm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Man, it looks like the banding on the radar has set up shop on I-77 and is not moving. I bet we will hear some impressive snow totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
