WNC_Fort Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have just under 7 inches here in Southern McDowell with light snow still falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Looks like I will finish just over 6 inches barring any surprise burst. I'm thrilled. Anything over 3 is a good storm to me. Plus, we get some super cold air for the next few days. Looks like a warm up for a while after that, but winter will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Wow just woke up to very windy conditions with the temp in the mid teens and still snowing moderately. It looks like around 10 inches maybe a bit more. A significant uptick overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Also looking at the gfs it continues to back build moisture in most of the day before we go to upslope snow. This upslope snow signal has only increased with each run since yesterday. I'm thinking maybe an additional 2 to 4 inches possibly just with the upslope factors. You could start to see yesterday on the GFS the TN/NC boarder counties where seeing an uptick each run with snow accumulation. I definitely think may see storm totals of over a foot of snow in several locations. Also man the wind is absolutely ripping! Wind chills have got to be down around zero.

My pics are apparently too large of files to upload to either this site or imgur, but I measured exactly 8 inches in multiple places on the floor of the deck. Still snowing. Pretty amazing. I think this is the largest snowfall my kids have ever seen. The Feb 2014 and Dec 2010 snows were big too in our backyard, but just slightly less than what we have today despite what the NWS Past Events page shows.

NavarreDon Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Some interesting wording in here! Foothill peeps be aware: .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 630 AM EST Saturday: Still seeing some light snow across the area and the deformation zone hasn`t made it to the region just yet, but with the delay of cold air have taken the warning across the southern tier to an advisory. Some updates to pops and near-term temperature trends but nothing significant. Otherwise, guessing that probably half of the residents across the area are happy with us right now, and the other half not so happy. As usual, the rain/snow line has been hovering along and just south of I-85 through the early morning hours, and as was the concern last night, cold air has lagged the moisture across southern and southeastern zones with mainly just a cold rain observed. All is not lost however because the cold air IS coming (wetbulb zero line has made a little faster progress to the SE over the past couple of hours) and there`s still some precip out there. 06z KGSO sounding was fully below freezing everywhere but soundings out of NCSU indicated more of a warm nose than was forecast (the NAM had the closest and of course that was NOT the model of choice last night. Typical...), and so we`ve seen a little more sleet southeast of I-85 which has really complicated accumulations. Averaging the zones it ended up verifying pretty well but for example knowing that there`s snow on the north side of Charlotte is little comfort to kiddos on the south side. However, the event isn`t over yet! Still seeing some light bands across TN and GA, and hi-res models still want to develop some banding in the deformation axis later this morning (that if perfect-progged would stretch from the foothills to the Upper Savannah Valley and then push east with the exiting surface low). Between that and the low-level CAA, will leave the warning in place but will re-word some of the southern to emphasize the black ice more where we probably won`t end up with accumulations actually meeting technical warning criteria (though in all fairness some of the sleet accumulations might actually reach the 1/2" criteria). The other concern is that as we start getting some drying aloft, unless there`s enough omega to pull moisture up to the dendritic snow growth zone (which would be the case in a deformation axis), then we lose the ice crystals aloft and end up with supercooled liquid so we could see some light freezing rain or freezing drizzle. Again, these are details that are really hard to convey in the grids so just putting it out there. Otherwise for today we have some bust potential in highs because most guidance was expecting a little more snow on the southern end of the forecast area and if that doesn`t pan out, temps might warm up a little more than expected today. Nevertheless strong CAA behind the front will keep temperatures well below normal especially across the mountains. Add to it the increasing pressure gradient as the surface low strengthens off the coast and with temperatures dropping into the lower teens and single digits in the mountains, it`ll just be downright brutal tonight in the mountains. With that, have issued a Wind Chill Advisory starting 00z for all the mountains (criteria -5C), and a Wind Chill Warning for Yancey Mitchell and Avery (criteria -15C). Still above record lows for the climate locations but within a handful of degrees so will have to reevaluate closely with this afternoon`s package.
