superjames1992 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 More SN than IP at the moment. Absolutely huge flakes just poring down. Nice! Just IP here at the moment, but I'm on the lookout! Looks to be a few more heavy bands to our south east yet to come through The deformation band should set up and hammer us through dawn, IMO. It should be fun, especially if you can manage to stay mostly snow. BTW, that sucks about losing power, jburns. It must be a real mess down that way if it's all liquid falling, especially now with surface temperatures starting to dip into the upper 20s.

gritsnc Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Our entire neighborhood is without power. Everything completely white outside. Thank God we've got a kerosene heater and carbon monoxide detector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD_Wedge_NC Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Lots of bright-banding going on along the I-85 corridor according to radar. Rates are good but it is having a hard time getting the snow level down to the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Absolutely snowing to beat the band right now. Wow. Very low visibility. Still ip/zr free from the start. Bassett, VA 29° Hvy SN 3" and counting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritsnc Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Still mainly heavy sleet and freezing rain here. I can't tell if snow is mixed in or not since I can't turn my porch light on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd say the predominant P-type is sleet, but there's definitely some freezing rain in there, too, as I notice more of a glaze on the trees, etc. than before. The grass, the road, etc. is basically a 1"+ glacier at the moment. Cool looking. I've still got power, thankfully. Yes, you can have a major ice storm in March!

superjames1992 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Uh, oh, the power just flickered twice. It was completely out for about 10 seconds. Is anyone under those yellow echoes just east of Greensboro? I'm assuming that's just bright-banding, but I'm curious. EDIT: And another power flicker......

It's just huge globs of stuff, LOL! I'm not sure I've seen such massive flakes as these before. Of course, these heavy, wet flakes will only exasperate our power issues if they continue.

southernskimmer Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 James-globs was right, that was wild! Just went back to IP/ZR. Starting to hear trees buckle every time the winds gust.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah, there's still a few flakes mixing in here, but it's pretty much back to IP (mixed with ZR, probably). It makes you wonder if we can do a full changeover if we really get some heavy rates as rates really aren't overly impressive at the moment. I'm not sure how much ice accretion we have, but it looks like quite a bit. I'd have to think we have at least warning criteria (0.25") and maybe more than that. EDIT: Damn, just had another power flicker and now the streetlights are dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a big fail for Asheville.... looks like the deformation band set up just to the south. Could have been a huge snow if that 50+ dBz had has been right overhead. http://climate.cod.edu/data/nexrad/animations/codnexlab.NEXRAD.GSP.N0Q.20140307.1026.096ani.gif On the other hand... those in upstate SC might be waking up to a surprise mix where they probably wouldn't expecting much. CC showed the rain/mix line crash southward as this deformation band really got cranking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
