mackerel_sky Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Anybody know the strength of the high today that pushed this front through ? I'm looking ahead to Thursday !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Nice job with the thread Mackerel. Feel models did a very good job from 48-36 on in for my area. Hopefully they are zeroing in on Thursday now. Need a good paste bomb to end the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin1926 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Heavy stuff looks to be over for my area. Got around an inch of snow/ice. During the last hour had snow the size of half dollars. Really amazing to see large flakes like that with so low of temps. The roads are really bad; totally ice packed. I would definitely call this a win. **Current back yard temp at 20.7 It's tundra-like up here on the border. Stunning turn of weather from the near 80F temperatures yesterday. The DOT crews are fighting a losing battle. 21F at Roxboro Airport 25 miles southwest of us. 18.3F on the VA/NC border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the strongest frontal passage I have ever experienced, from any direction! And congrats to everyone who saw snow and sleet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 well i have to say this isnt the most interesting ob compared to those from nc, but when i got home about 5 today it was 51 and sunny. i just my dog out and did a double take as the garage door went up. its windy, froggy/heavy drizzle and 34.1 lol if it was that dramatic here in a couple of hours i can only imagine what was happening up in nc today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaryWx Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yep, turned out to be nice little treat of winter weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yep, turned out to be nice little treat of winter weather. Agree, about as modeled, give or take. Over performed in a couple of spots too with 2-3" snow in the triad. I will say the NAM nailed temps, at least for MBY, I thought the RGEM got the precip the most correct.

calculus1 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Well, the little ULL did its job and produced this afternoon. I wasn't expecting to see anything, yet I was treated to some moderate snowfall with intermittent sleet showers. Pretty awesome weather today.

jburns Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 And the roads are a mess. I didn't say they wouldn't. But some folks were making out like the roads wouldn't be treacherous from this.

calculus1 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The upper low is still back in TN. There should be more precipitation to develop this afternoon when this thing passes by. Everyone, calm down a little. None of the guidance gives central NC any significant precip with the UL. They all suggest that the mid levels will dry out this afternoon, effectively shutting off any significant precip. The band of precip slowly moving through NC is all there will be, I'm afraid. Well, I guess we'll see which scenerio is right. And, the verdict is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Cold Chased the moisture and guess what. It caught it for a change. Got down to 17 this morning. First time I've see freezing rain/drizzle in the month of March in a very long time. To go from 57 at 6:00 am Mon to 17 in 24 hours is pretty remarkable for this area.

FallsLake Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm at work (Raleigh) but I should have waited coming in today. (For people in the Triangle area), I was coming down Six Forks Road and had to turn around at a hill near Falls Lake. Cars were trying to get to the top but were not making it. I turned around and then slid 30 feet onto NC98. Lukily nobody was in the oncoming lane. These are the worse roads(ice wise) I've seen in a long time. Funny, the roads here in Raleigh are fine. It looks like there was only a little bit of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossthread Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 27 here on the Coast,,, brrr! With such a thin layer of Arctic air inplace the soundings usually provide much better temperature guidance thanthe numerical MOS. That said some record low highs appear to be injeopardy today:Wilmington 41 set in 1978, Lumberton 44 set in 1950, Florence 43 setin 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I left for work at 9:30. The roads in my neighborhood were clear, but the road going from my neighborhood to Capital Blvd was still covered with ice. There were some turn lanes on Capital that were complete sheets of ice, and there was some slush on Capital itself between the lanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
