SnowDawg Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Just looking at radar, if the band off to my southwest can stay together looks like it might bring the heaviest snow yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 All snow in Roanoke Rapids, flake structure is kind of mangled which supports the transition being just to the south. Light at the moment. 32/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Made the drive from Boone to Raleigh. Planning on getting aerial footage in Raleigh and working my way back towards boone the next few days via Chapel Hill, Greensboro, then down to Charlotte. Was 33 degrees from Winston Salem all the way to Chapel Hill where I hit rain/snow mix and instantly jumped to 36 degrees. Still an 80/20 rain/snow mix just south of Downtown.

strongwxnc Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 FXUS62 KGSP 070331 AFDGSP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 1031 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017 .SYNOPSIS... A low pressure system will lift out of the Northern Gulf of Mexico tonight bringing widespread winter precipitation to the region. As the low moves offshore, a strong arctic surface high will overspread the region late Saturday and persist into early next week, bringing very cold air into the region. Another cold front is expected to approach the Carolinas by the middle of next week, increasing rain chances once again. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 1015 PM, the snow line continues to ooze south this evening, with a transition to -SN recently having occurred along the I-85 corridor from Greenville to Charlotte. Based upon the latest radar trends, it appears that much of the area has a solid 3-6 hours of additional precip heading their way, plenty of time for the snow to pile up and reach the going forecast accums, at least that is where it`s already snowing. Farther south, esp across the lower SC and GA piedmont, confidence is dwindling that the cold air will arrive in sufficient time for appreciable accums to occur. In fact, per the 00Z Raob from KFFC, there is a prominent warm nose across the region, and the NAM depicts this extending into our southern zones. Nevertheless, with the event continuing to unfold, and after collaboration with neighboring WFOs, it was decided to hold onto the warning in those areas for at least a few more hours before surrendering. However, we will start to downplay accums in those areas, advertising "barely warning" criteria. Farther north, we`ve already had a report of 5 inches of accumulation in Lake Toxaway, which is pretty close to the forecast storm total. There could certainly be some portions of the southern mountains that breach the forecast accum containment, but overall feel pretty good about forecast totals from roughly I-85 north. Precip will taper off quickly Saturday morning and end before noon as the upper and surface systems move away from the area taking the moisture and forcing with them. Should be breezy to windy during the morning with winds tapering off by late afternoon. Will likely see some sun as well. However, highs will likely be below freezing across much of the area, with mid 30s developing along the Upper Savannah River valley. This may just set the stage for black ice where any snow can melt.

CarlHill Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 7 minutes ago, mackerel_sky said: My heavy rain is mixing with moderate rain-36 Yep, our local channels really effed it up once again. Don't say bust though or the moderator will call you ignorant and that you should have been better informed. Where I live in here in Easley/Powdersville, it started snowing about an hour ago, still mixed with rain. Over half of the storm has passed so I'm cutting what Cessarich said in half. I bet 2 -3 inches here at most. I'm shocked to have this much after the rain this afternoon and dryness in the early evening. I really do not understand why no one around here can get it right year after year after year. I have lots of family in Simpsonville. I hope ya'll get something at least. I think the temps were overblown on the models as usual. If we had had the temps, then the precip would have been wrong. I miss 1988. Charlie sure got that one right without all of these fancy, inaccurate models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Went out to officially measure. Everywhere on the deck measures 1.5 inches. It's been snowing for roughly 1.5 hours, so I guess I can say that I've been getting 1"/hr rates here. Now, how long will these rates continue? If it does this til 6 AM (as many models seem to indicate), I'm looking at 8+ inches. That's a big IF, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Popped open my 3rd and final beer of the night and went outside while the snow is pouring down. Wind is picking up and being so close to the transition line the flakes are rather hard, almost graupel like, but definitely flakes. Working on a solid dusting in a matter of maybe 20-30 minutes? Hard to tell in dead bermuda but basing it on the neighborhood streets. If it could keep this up til mid-morning we would hit that original 4-6" forecast here for sure.
