WeatherNC Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 From WFO RAH's twitter account, that's about a 2K' layer above freezing, more than enough to melt snow. With decent rates you can overcome a shallow layer but this is just too much at the moment. "135 am... Our pals from the NC State sounding club launched a RAOB ~6Z which had a ~75mb warm layer with a max temperature of ~2.3 C." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bargainmusic Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Approaching 2:30 and it's snowing just as hard, if not harder, as it has been all night. Off to bed so I have some energy to spend with my kids tomorrow. Night y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be no more WAA hindering things north of a line from Montgomery to Macon with storms affecting Birmingham and Atlanta. These cities are always getting the warped sides of these Gulf Lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the intensity and wind but the size of the flakes when you get under those bright radar bands. Impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked intense on radar as it passed. Another one looking a little farther north. Hope it will come through my little neck of the woods. It's been a constant snow for a while but no real big flakes. I can't complain though since it's been all snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshM Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The death band is sadly losing it's punch, back to moderate snow. 27 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've got 6 inches on my snow board which is a sheet of drywall, ha. It was at least 2 inch/hr rates there...it has backed off some now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Mostly sleet, going to take a 3hr power nap with the hopes this side show will be back to dendrites come sun up. No way we see double digits, the truck only has a couple inches, at this rate Emporia may have mixing issues. Note to self, always over estimate the warm nose.

Cornsnow Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Some of the biggest flakes I've seen personally now coming down in Huntersville. To lazy to go measure but has to be a good 3-4 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The wind really stirred up there in those earlier videos I posted. It did that for about 30 minutes, then it went into snow with huge flakes, with less wind, and did that for probably 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How goes it Brother? Hoping you cashed in with some good snow. I was in SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE of the warm nose in Belmont (a few miles south of I-85). We have had PREDOMINATELY ip/rain with snow every now and then. We had a few bursts of mainly snow, however, it ALWAYS had ip mixed in. Got a dusting on the cars, yard, etc. I have been tracking storms since the WRIGHT WEATHER BOARD Days of the late 90's, to Eastern Wx to American and I must say...THIS STORM STINGS THE MOST. To see EVERYONE around you gaining accumulations and to be under that warm bubble. I may hang this up after this one. HA. I want to say THANK YOU for all of your input to us all. GREAT JOB man!

JQPublic Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 After about thirty minutes of snow, we have had sleet for at least 2 hours with not much to show for it. I'm sure there is some ZR mixed in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samanthabeth85 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 All quiet in Kings Mountain NC. Snowed steady the last 3 hours. No exact measurement but a nice cover on the ground. Hope it picks back up again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
