Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 1 minute ago, NEGa said: yikes! i was hoping for the big dump, of course, but realistically it rarely happens. i have been thinking 2-3" for mby and hoping for 4 or 5 lol. i have 2 1/4 on the ground here so i am pretty happy - and glad no shaft! i think what hurt here, was as usual, we mixed. i just went out and back to some sleet. had it all been snow then probably would have had a couple of more inches. when it was all snow it just poured down and accumulated quickly. then it would mix and eh it usually happens here. all in all though any snow imby at or above 2" i consider a pretty good storm. and everything is covered and sure looks like winter lol I have about the same as you. Between 2 and 2.25" and I'm fine with that. Sure I would like to see 6" or more but i'm not going to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget Jan 2000. It had snowed about a inch and the 1100 news weather man along with nws had me getting about 3 inches. Said Raleigh east was where the action would be. So I went off to bed only to wake up to 15 inches of snow at 7:00 am. Swore I'd never miss another big one if the chance presented itself. Not expecting 15 tonight but kind of hoping wed get some thunder maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBlade Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I don't get how it's still so much rain mixed in here. Ground temps below freezing. 925 almost -3 and 850 almost 0. Yet 75% rain and 25% IP.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been 100% snow with the main event but have only accumulated 3" which is really what I expected to happen. Back edge is rapidly approaching so I'm hoping to go out with a bang.

Can anyone explain what mechanism is causing the line to actually move north? I am mostly ignorant about the dynamics of storms but I have a strong science background so I can take a good bit of technical explanation.

wake4est Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Nws changed our overnight forecast to .1-.2" of freezing rain. Still have 2-4" of snow tomorrow when 850s allegedly crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherheels Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Just measured 3.25" ... gained another inch in the past hour. Been consistently mod snow for the past 2 hours, with some larger flakes for the past 20-30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL i was a bit surprised too as most of the models were showing mby close but staying just north of the mixing line. without the mix i would guess another inch or two but this is pretty close to what i was thinking so i am pretty happy i was about to head to bed but saw that last blob - might as well wait a little longer and see if i can get one more snow burst lol that "lookout bubble" probably kept the temp just a little more marginal than over your way. the colder air also has a little farther to go to get here from that direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
