LithiaWx Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Light, moderate, heavy, hard are all such subjective terms. Photos are about he only way to convey how much or how hard. Unless you're trained to identify types of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Nothing stuck. Didn't see any snow on the ground until we got up on the Piedmont near hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapelhillwx Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 ^Dang, I didn't realize it snowed up there. Great pics. I wonder if Paris Mountain got any. Paris Mountain did! I go to Furman so it's literally right next to us, drove up there about 6:45 while it was still dark and the rain turned to snow halfway up the mountain. 39 at the base and 33 at the top. Couldn't get a pic of the snow but here's the Greenville skyline as viewed from the Paris Mtn summit. The haze in the sky is from all the snowflakes.

Since the output of the ASOS visibility instrument is in 1/4-mi increments for visibilities less than 2 mi, the snowfall intensity is defined as heavy for visibilities of 1/4 mi or less, moderate for 1/2-mi visibility, and light for visibilities of 3/4 mi or greater (National Weather Service 1994).

I'm sure the average person has the ability to estimate visibility in 1/4 mile increments, Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveVa Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Being on the line is kinda frustrating. 0.45" of rain/sleet. It's back to snow now, dusting would exceed my expectations. Still 35/33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 No snow here in Easley. I noticed on the radar this morning that the upstate dry slotted BIG TIME. Our only chance for lower elevations was good rates but that definitely didn't happen. Congrats to all those who got some, I'm insanely jealous!

rxwxunc Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 snow accumulated about 0.25 of an inch on the cars; less than that on grassy surfaces. It was pretty but short. Sun popped thru the clouds around 11am and it was all melted 5 minutes latter. Boundry layer temps killed what could have been close to an inch.

chapelhillwx Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Who's the hottie? I knocked on the door of the farmhouse up the road asking permission to take photos on the property. The farmer told me his crop had failed; he needed to marry his daughter off to someone with means who could take care of her. He saw that I arrived in an automobile and knew I was successful. The wedding date is in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
