PDUBRDU Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 My back yard in Raleigh. Say we got a good 6" plus a ton of sleet. Saw some thunder snow and sleet last night around 3 am too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've gone from 32.2 to 31.6 in the last hour. Wasn't really expecting it but I'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Here in Dunwoody, I got somewhere near the 0.5-0.75" range for IP/SN (I think more IP). This is about what I got the day before in SN. So, I got ~1.25" total SN/IP for the two events, combined. So, though well under expectations, at least it was something of note and it brings Feb to above climo. Plus we got some nice snow showers last week and just missed a major ZR last week by a fraction of a degree as I was right on 32.0-32.1 for several hours with significant rain falling. Plus, this month is going to average near 7 below normal! So, this month was very much a fun one to experience and much more enjoyable than the average Feb. all in all. *Edited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Actually, it wasn't a bad forecast, we knew going in that the south side of the frozen precip was in for a potential bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXinCanton Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Actually, it wasn't a bad forecast, we knew going in that the south side of the frozen precip was in for a potential bust. I agree, and with the line happening directly over metro ATL it made it seem like a bad call. Really it was a pretty good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to manage my expectations. Saw 4 and thought I was in the safe zone, since I was OTP (Outside the Perimeter) Looking forward to Spring! If I ever move homes I think I will need to research which county is best place to live to have high snow totals (in the south of course) .

snowinnc Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 About 6" in NW Raleigh...with a power outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I got about 5.5" in Cary. My forecast was 4-7" for RDU so I consider it a success. Now if I could just get power back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherwx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Right around 6" IMBY. Power's still out in our neighborhood too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackGrad05 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 1 inch of snow/sleet/ice in Southern Wake near Fuquay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 No power outage here, thank $DEITY. In fact, the area around me is doing pretty good. Not sure why I am so lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I got about 5.5" in Cary. My forecast was 4-7" for RDU so I consider it a success. Now if I could just get power back! The gradient is sick, I drew in 64 in Apex, which I am a stones throw away just north of it. I had 4-5" I guess, hard to tell from compaction, this morning it was 4" on my deck so guess it was probably close to 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreensboroWx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good 6-7" in Summerfield...snow has stuck to EVERYTHING. Power has flickered a couple of times. Fortunately, roads are actually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DixieBlizzard Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I really wish things would have been better for some of my neighbors but I have no reason to complain. We ended up with a solid 6 inches with no sleet or rain at any point during the storm. We are in a bad area for CAD events but systems like this seem to fair well in this area.

ncforecaster89 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Drove all night from Wilmington through Wilson to Weldon. From there I drove through Winton, into Virginia, to Suffolk. From there, I drove just N of Norfolk and east to Virginia Beach - where I've been the past couple of hours. Highest total I measured was just N of Winton, NC at 7" (6 am est). Measured 5.5" in Norfolk and 4.7" here at the beach. The winds are gusting to gale force right on the beach, and we're still getting sleet/ice pellet mix.

kvegas-wx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I got zero snow up here in minneapolis and nearly zero on the ground. Hated missing this one cuz it may be the last. Enjoyed watching the fracas last night from across the southeast. Someone go shovel the runway at gso so i can get home please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 In the corridor from the north half of ATL to GVL/AHN in GA, total liquid equivalent precip. for 2/25 averaged near 0.50". This was somewhat underneath the consensus closer to 0.75" (what I was expecting). At least one of the late NAM runs had a whopping 1.5", which I had immediately dismissed as hogwash based on it both being a wet outlier and a poor/quite wet biased model at least in these wintry threat situations. I often can cut the NAM output in half and get much closer to the model consensus. In this case, it needed to be cut by 2/3 to be right ! Even when ignoring the wet biased NAM, I do think there is at least a slight wet bias of the model consensus in this area in wintry situations based on years of following models.

Even though I had 6 on the deck, only 1-2, maybe 3 on the driveway. Unless it's shaded it will melt off in no time even with the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up with a solid 6 inches with no sleet or rain at any point during the storm. We are in a bad area for CAD events but systems like this seem to fair well in this area. You are exactly right. Storms like this make up for heartbreaking CAD events. My wife and I have talked about moving to the Adairsville-Rydal-Pine Log area for several years. I think I will have to make the plunge soon. That two hours of rain broke my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry, I've had 0.55" in the last 24 hours here in NE Gwinnett. I reported 0.25" of snow/sleet/ice pellets for yesterday. The NWS said that fell in line with their interpolations of the area.
