TriadDeac Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Back to mostly sleet after mostly snow for a while. Temp dropped a little during the heavier snow back to 30.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Can't believe how much snow i'm getting. I'm at about 6 inches and still heavy snow. Send it this way please. Trees stripping, multiple booms. I think i just heard thunder. Probably did there is a strong band 40-50 dbz to your n/w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherheels Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I just sat here and ate breakfast watching the fastest 1" of snow ever. Enormous flakes that just explode into a million flurries when they hit the grill. Snowing almost as hard as last week. Another hour of this and we will have 4"+ of sleet/snow crust. I just measured 4-5" in multiple spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledgeispwr Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Mostly snow currently, but I can still hear sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Lets have a convo about whether or not the cold can remain in place across the immediate triad north? If so, this could go on for hours! So what feature is expected to develop and switch us to rain? Warm nose only goes back to sleet. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Did Buncombe not even have a delay this morning? Looks like I'm back to just normal rain here man all we had was some snow last night about 6 it was snowing heavily and then it changed to rain and snow and that is all we had all night other than a little snow this morning which didn't amount to anything. thought Buncombe would have at the very least 2 or 3 inches and maybe even 6. what a no show. this would have made me happy until next winter. I know we've had snow later than this even in April but climo says we are running out of time if we haven't already. Edit. Kudos to all you guys who stuck with that we weren't going to get much snow out of this system. great job to you guys. I just thought once the snow started last night the temp would fall to the upper 20's. but never happend it rose from 34 to 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree I don't see this letting up anytime soon. Even if cold rain is mixed it. The 850 line looks like its trying to make progress south and east along the mountains, East sections in VA. There is also a cold pocket over GA. So it maybe possible the warm nose is trying to errode and heavy wet snow with the ULL develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm three miles east of the airport. Quite close. NE High Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 No, I'm three miles east of the airport. Quite close. NE High Point. So strange. That means you are 9-10 miles due east of me and our precip couldnt be more different! Maybe your warm is moving my way though. Temp just ticked up to 31.

kvegas-wx Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Ok, looking at radar our cold air is getting the squeeze. I just happen to be in the rigt spot....temporarily. james has switched and as i am typing this my snow rate just decreased 80%. Our friend in Reidsville may indeed be the sweetspot as the cold air pulls out. Highest totals ive seen yet was the pic from Basset earlier today around 6". Anyone topping that?

Dunkman Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 In addition to the 2-3" of sleet/snow, my branches are pushing 0.5" of ice in spots. If the snow/sleet is done, bring on the warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Things are melting within 10ft off the ground. Major ice accumulation ongoing above that point. Every friend I've talked to in Alamance, Orange and northern Durham counties are out of power with trees crashing in the wind gusts. Ground is so saturated and with the extra ice weight...

Cold Rain Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Talked to dad in Greensboro, just a tick NW of PTI and they have power. He said they have about an inch or two of snow/sleet with snow/sleet still falling. Glazing on the trees. Talked to mom in Burlington, right at I-40, about 4-5 miles from the Guilford Co. line and they have power too. But she said there are lots of large branches down and a couple of trees split. Cable is out and ice on everything. In downtown Raleigh, we have steady light rain and a temp in the mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
