buckeyefan1 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 sucks, I just need to see the ground covered here once, and its not happening but we are soooo close lol....damn warm nose....34 and dumping sleet/rain I still think you should cash in for a bit in just about 1-2 hrs Don't give up yet About the same here so at-least we all got screwed together. A little ip accumulation in the eves, that's about it. Still a few pellets mixing in and one heck of a melt going on over the coastal plain this morning per radar. We got the NW trend inside of 48hrs and meaningful qpf made it to us, temps on the other hand, yeah, they trended not in our favor, go figure. May be one of those years where we go without measurable snow here. I am all in for the clipper, at this point we don't have anything to lose. True Clippers don't do much of anything here...stoopid downsloping It does look like a lot of peeps will watch the flakes fly though. Fingers crossed! Never mind. Big flakes definitely starting to mix in more now, hardly any sleet is pinging the stove vent now. Sweet! I wonder if the returns around FLO are bringing any wintry precip mixed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stump Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Enough snow now mixed in at 9:30 to coat roofs around my area. Sleet still dominant. Any thoughts to how much snow we could have had if this started as an all snow event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Anybody know if Frying Pan Tower has a weather station on it? I looked on the website but couldnt find anything.

Jet Stream Rider Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Looking at this amazing system taking shape in a favored position off the se coast, yet no winter storm to show for it for any of us, an old story comes to mind. The one where the porridge is either too hot or too cold or just right. We get the slp in the spot we want it and in early February. But its precip shield is small and the cold air is not abundant. I guess in this case the porridge is not just right. Still some folks are getting a little frozen stuff, maybe someone will eak out a bit of accumulating sleet and some snow mixed in. For me, it looks like it could start something any moment, but for now it is dry and I am too far north and too far west of the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sctvman Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Nothing here in the Charleston area. In fact, the rain is almost gone, down to light returns, multiple hours before it was supposed to. Just a weird storm. No one model could really get the hang of this in our area. I haven't experienced one like this in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been stuck at 33-34 here since 7am if we just got rid of this 850 warm nose I bet we would see a quick 2-4" but as usual the damn warm nose aint going nowhere it seems.....or it will right before the precip shuts off so we go all snow for 30 mins lol....

Solak Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 AS OF 1015 AM SUNDAY... ...SHORT FUSE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR JOHNSTON...WAYNE...WILSON AND SAMPSON COUNTIES THIS MORNING WITH NUMEROUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS REPORTED FROM BURSTS OF HEAVIER SLEET... MSAS SHOWS A ~1003MB SURFACE LOW EAST OF CHARLESTON SC THIS MORNING...IN RESPONSE TO A 553DM UPPER LOW PIVOTING OVER THE SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN. THE PRECIP SHIELD NORTHWEST OF THE LOW EXTENDS THROUGH THE NC COASTAL PLAIN....WHERE TEMP PROFILES ARE MARGINAL FOR A WINTRY MIX OF PTYPES...A SLIGHT WARM NOSE OF 1-2C AT 5K FT AND SURFACE TEMPS IN THE 33-35F RANGE. HOWEVER...IN THE PAST HOUR OR SO THE RATES HAVE BEEN HIGH ENOUGH FOR MELTING AND WETBULBING TO PRODUCE PERIODS OF PREDOMINATELY SLEET IN WILSON....WAYNE...JOHNSTON...AND NORTHERN SAMPSON COUNTIES. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE COUNTIES GIVEN NUMEROUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. DUAL POL CC SUGGESTS LIGHT TO MODERATE SLEET WILL BE POSSIBLE AS FAR WEST AS RALEIGH AND SANFORD AS WELL. RAP AND HRRR SOUNDINGS SHOW THE SMALL WARM NOSE CONTINUING TO COOL THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...SO ITS ENTIRELY POSSIBLY THAT PERIODS OF MODERATE SLEET MAY PRODUCE A HALF INCH OF SO SLEET....WITH ANOTHER QUARTER INCH OF QPF STILL POSSIBLE AS THE PRECIP BAND PIVOTS OVER THE AREA.
