SnowNiner Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Had a nice band pass through in Huntersville. Nice little dusting. Sample of what's to come next week???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Why is WRAL talking about 1 band? Yeah I can see it lasting 15-20min as they are saying but to me it looks like 2 bands. The 2nd much stronger. Surely that his all can't pass in 20mins. It's 1.5 drive to Greensboro alone. This whole thing covers a large area. What am I missing here? Or what are they missing (leaving out)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Remember when it was going to be too warm? Good little flurry here in downtown CLT....tiny flakes but hell it's flakes non the less. I don't know why people were worrying about temperatures. They were never an issue. I've seen plenty of these before up in WV. With mid-levels so cold, the temperature always collapses under the heavy rates. Here, temps were in the upper 30s earlier, but under good rates, we were at 29 degrees. Of course, the crazy thing about these is that the sun can come out and shoot up back to where it was before.

It's still one main band although some areas in the moisture in front of the line could be strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Great band through NW Randolph county. Between 1/4-1/2 inch. Just like a thunderstorm. I even thought I might have heard a clap of thunder, but I'm not totally sure. Just got back in from scraping the front walk that gets no sun.

I haven't seen a flake yet but I don't have the best view from my office. I'm right across from the LEC at the beginning of 385. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
