Wow Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 FYI the Charlotte snow record for today is only 0.2" set in 1920.... If the backside holds, at the very least they'll be able to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having a tough time forecasting it. I do think the band that almost all models show rotating through 04-12Z may have surprise amounts with it though I like it when you talk dirty to us! My whole life i've never lucked out on a stationary backside band. It seems those almost always park over a small area dump and way more snow than forecasted. Hoping my name is drawn out of the hat this time. Absolutely ripping fatties here right now as well...starting to add up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the warm nose might win this one tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CummingGaSnow Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Still pouring snow big fat flakes on the NW side of Cumming. Temp steady at 32.2. Loving it. Might not see this duration and intensity of heavy fat flakes the rest of my life. Enjoying while I can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 19 minutes ago, NEGa said: Sweet that should be a fantastic location. I saw gsp’s update a little while ago and was dubious. Not so much now. The snow intensity and long lasting nature is freaking awesome Yeah I think it's safe to say the band is going to produce and then some for us. David chandley on fox 5 is actually forecasting 3 to 5 inches more...and made mention of additional 7 or 8. That would put some over a foot. This is easily one of the top snows but when you consider how early in the year it is, it's really historic for some locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSchew Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Mostly snow since 10 this morning in Winston, moderate to heavy since 3pm. Approaching 3", fatties are falling, upstream looks juicy. 32/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in early dec - and WAY overperforming for a change - is shocking lol. Closing in on 4” here. If we get another 2 overnight this is the biggest snowstorm here in quite a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysum Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 From latest GSP discussion: As of 430 PM EST Friday: Because of complications in how the ProbSnow grids work, had to make some adjustments to the storm totals and they now begin at 00z tonight...so the storm total accum on our website will be *in addition to* what`s already fallen. Some concern about some of the Upstate and NC Piedmont Counties that are in the Advisory, if they need to be upgraded to warning. Not enough information to do that at this time but if reports continue to pile up may need to jump on that sometime this evening. The heavier bands that moved through the Upstate this afternoon have pushed E, but additional banding will continue off and on through the evening.

Mello Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Measured 3-4 inches on the grass with the snow still coming down at a solid clip. And that's after a decent bit this morning before it changed to rain for a few hours. Winter is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a coincidence that my area went back to snow as the sun went down. Should push the line 10-20 miles further to the southeast imo John Cessarich just confirmed that this is indeed occurring. Once the sun went down, the r/s line sank south.

Jet Stream Rider Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I've been easing down all day, now right at freezing, started the day around 40. I'm pretty far north and east though. I did see the undulation of temps also though with rate changes. Everything is getting solid. Noticeable glaze accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One issue are large counties where one side is covered with snow while the other is mostly rain. No win sit for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
