Extreme NEGA Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Now that's the ultimate embarrassing performance, hours late. Wonder what NWS has been doing all this time? So much for lessons supposedly learned from last year.. You got that right. Should of been issued along time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilj4425 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, I made it to work. Took me an hour when it normally takes around 30 minutes to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I don't now how much liquid I have gotten since my weather station is froze up... but it's been precipitating at least moderately here ever since 2:30... I would guess we're way over 1 inch of liquid at this point, maybe 1.5 inches?? Currently 31.2 with moderate to at times heavy freezing rain.. pine tree's are really starting to lean.

MotoWeatherman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This one is just about over here in Dahlonega. The wedge overperformed...surprise surprise. We never broke freezing once the precip moved in. Had a little sleet on the front end and then steady freezing rain. That is until about 430pm when colder air aloft worked in and turned everything into a sleet fest with mixed in snow flakes. Then it all turned back to freezing rain by 7pm or so. The sleet fest put the nail in the coffin for road conditions across my area. So we ended up with freezing rain then sleet fest then freezing rain on top. Totals were about 1/2" of freezing rain on trees and such and 1/2" of sleet accumulation everywhere. And I managed to keep my power somehow when many in my area are without. Nice!

Solak Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Maybe more sleet, less ice??? One can hope... AS OF 1050 PM MONDAY......CONDITIONS DETERIORATING ACROSS CENTRAL NC WITH WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS TRAVEL AND NUMEROUS POWER OUTAGES LIKELY......WINTER STORM WARNINGS AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAIN IN EFFECT...HAVE UPGRADED THE FAR SE COUNTIES TO A WARNING AS THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THESE COUNTIES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MEET OR EXCEED A QUARTER OF AN INCH ICE ACCRUAL. TEMPS IN THIS REGION HOLDING IN THE UPPER 20S AND WILL LIKELY REMAIN AT OR BELOW 30 DEGREES...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF A CLINTON-FAYETTEVILLE-LAURINBURG LINE. AREA SOUNDINGS AND LATEST HRRR SOUNDING DATA STILL DEPICT A DECENT COLD NOSE -8 TO -10 DEGREES C WITH AN EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE WARM NOSEOF 7 DEGREES C NEAR FAYETTEVILLE. STILL APPEARS THAT BULK OF PRECIP WILL BE FREEZING RAIN OR A MIXTURE OF SLEET/FREEZING RAIN (DEPENDENT ON PRECIP INTENSITY). THE LONGER THE PRECIP REMAINS MIXED...THE LESS ICE ACCRETION WILL OCCUR BUT STILL ENOUGH TO CREATE DANGEROUS ICE ACCRUAL ON POWERLINES AND TREES. IF PRECIP WERE TO GO MORE TOWARD ALL SLEET...SLEET ACCUMULATION OF AN INCH OR LITTLE MORE WILL OCCUR AND ICE ACCRUAL WILL BE SEVERELY LIMITED.WILL MAINTAIN WARNING ELSEWHERE BUT HAVE LOWERED "MAXIMUM" ICE ACCRUAL BELOW A HALF INCH. -WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Greenwood over to Athens, GA now under winter storm warning. Took them long enough. What a joke. Bring back the atari version, eta. And to think it's supose to be the best at sniffing out wedges. seriously. by far the worst bust i've seen the nam do in winter. right up there with any busts the old eta had back in the day. Now that's the ultimate embarrassing performance, hours late. Wonder what NWS has been doing all this time? So much for lessons supposedly learned from last year.. I've been wondering too. Absolutely absurd it took them this long. And it's not like they didn't have info it was happening. FFC is a lot better than they used to be but i have no idea wtf they were doing tonight. just had another large limb come down in the yard. ugh..going to be a mess to clean up tomorrow.

downeastnc Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Haha nice downeast,... I bet if I was still up there going to ECU it would be all ZR right now. Currently 29/26 and ZR; i'll never underestimate a CAD again, really thought being so close to the coast WAA would easily overcome the cold like it normally does here. Well to be fair this was no ordinary wedge temps in the mid 20's with sub zero DP's for days before the event don't come along very often....

deltadog03 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've seen it here several times before. It's pretty cool. btw, gfs at least got it right at initialization showing a temp of 30. once again you nailed the models poor CAD job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Still a raging sleet storm in southern Durham. Roads actually seem reasonably better than I thought earlier.How so? Are they easy to drive on, or do they actually look clear? My parking lot is certainly completely white, and that's even with a few cars having driven through it.

Jonathan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Show's basically over here. Last I measured was a little over 5" but that was at around 9:30. We'll call it 5.5" I was able to hang on to all snow until the last hour or so. Not too bad. Models had precip lasting until 3-4am, but that's usually how these work out. Start earlier, end earlier. Hope you Carolina/Georgia boys and girls stay safe and keep your power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
