wx4life Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Tuesday~1.5" snow Wednesday~5"snow,1.5"sleet(estimation since I checked when the freezing rain was coming down) .10"ice Thursday~2" snow Not too shabby for Indian Trail,NC. I thought this was a wonderful storm and probably one I will talk about in the future. I'm 36 and can't remember ever having 3 days of snow falling. Yeah,it wasn't snowing the whole time, but still pretty awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowblzchance N CLT Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My best estimation for Matthews / Mint Hill area ESE of Uptown Charlotte. Tuesday (2/11): 2.5" snow (roads only wet) Wednesday (2/12): 5" snow; 2" sleet, .10" frz rain Thursday (2/13): .5" sleet; 3" snow After melting / compaction total on the ground right at 9.5". Pretty awesome considering how many hours were lost to the pingers and freezing drizzle!! Best storm for my area since 2004 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm going to estimate for marietta. 2" sleet 2" snow .20" ice .20" rain Here in Dunwoody, it was similar to Marietta. Here are my estimates based on a total liquid equivalent of ~1": 2.5" sleet 1.5" snow 0.10" ice 0.15" rain I'm going to consider this a major sleet/snow combination producer for north metro Atlanta (though not for KATL, where they apparently got a good bit less IP and more ZR), but also a major icestorm in my records for KATL and the first major ATL icestorm since 12/05 based mainly on the ZR the south metro got. Fwiw, note that this major icestorm occurred during the most favored ENSO phase for them by far per history, neutral negative. For my ZR storm records, I'm going with the wedging high being 1036 mb in the NE US and calling the associated low a Miller A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well, I had 6-7" last night and another couple inches from this afternoon's events. I'd guess around 8.5-9", but I'll probably just go with the airport's total (which I have not seen yet) since it was hard to measure with the compaction and the wind last night. It's the biggest winter storm accumulation-wise since January 2002 at KGSO. I was hoping we could hold the sleet at bay and make 12", but that didn't happen. We still easily verified the Winter Storm Warning for 6-10", so I can't really complain. Even the higher 8-12" predictions from some local mets verified. DT's 12" didn't verify, of course, but DT's snowfall maps usually need to be sliced in half to get the reality (at least IMBY). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I only measured yesterday during the snow. At that time, the max I measured was around 6", but I'd go with 5.5" to mitigate any potential drift or grass issues. Based on the layer of sleet that I poked my fingers though, I'd estimate no more than 1" of sleet, but no less than 3/4". Glaze was between 0.1" and 0.2", but not measured directly either. Any additional accumulation of snow this afternoon was less than a half an inch, though it would have been hard to tell with the existing snowpack and the melting.

GreensboroWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hard to exactly tell.....probably 5" of snow, 2" of sleet, and another inch or so of snow today = 8-9" I was predicting 8-10" with pockets of ~12" , so I was happy with my forecast....

Vorticity Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm going to consider this a major sleet/snow combination producer for north metro Atlanta (though not for KATL, where they apparently got a good bit less IP and more ZR), but also a major icestorm in my records for KATL and the first major ATL icestorm since 12/05 based mainly on the ZR the south metro got.

Ernest T Bass Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 6" snow and sleet as of this morning, then added 8" snow today 14" at max Heavy sleet for hours last night Approx 2" or more per hr snow rates this morning Few miles NW of Statesville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 4.5" of snow yesterday evening got compressed by sleet and light freezing rain last night to 3.5", then another 1.5" fell this afternoon. I think it was the biggest snow storm since January 30-31, 2009 and the fourth biggest of the century so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowinnc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 6" snow yesterday in North Raleigh. About 1" sleet and .10 of freezing rain. Today we got 3/4" of snow. The storm REALLY overperformed here so we are thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my ZR storm records, I'm going with the wedging high being 1036 mb in the NE US and calling the associated low a Miller A. It was hard to determine snow vs sleet at times. I really believe some of what fell was more of a sleet/snow hybrid. They fell in long diamond like patterns for some of the storm. It stacked like snow but was very dense despite the crystal structure. Anyways a 4" snow sleet total was about right for me regardless of how it's split. As for ice accumulation I could be way off but there were long periods of drizzle aland even rain with a tamp of about 30.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
