Tack on another 1-2 in CrownTown then clear out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Anyone know what the snow ratios have been? We're certainly not seeing 15-18:1 stuff in these pre-made snowmen falling from the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still snowing heavy. I'm 3/4 mile west of you and we measured 5" about 30 min ago. Still snowing steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 3 minutes ago, Poimen said: Despite a lack of returns overhead, it is snowing as heavily as it has all day! Same here! I have a feeling that it will continue to snow for 3 more hours or so as the ull comes through. It often happens this way where heavy radar returns produce very little at the beginning of a storm but the opposite towards the end. We also have enhanced jet features and lots of lift.

Down to 28 though now and that backend coming through I am sure will have much better 15-20:1 ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are yours/ I am about the same area, off Air Park rd. Roads in the neighborhood range anywhere from slushy to a couple inches of snow. Mailman was slipping pretty good trying to get through here. 2.2" total so far with 0.8" in the last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upstate Tiger Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Looks like close to 5” in Cherryville with 27 degrees and just started back. Actually some bigger flakes mixing in now. GSP doesn’t seem too excited for any backend accumulations. Guess we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKN WX Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Really liking how the snow is expanding west of CLT-flurries have started back here. Would be nice to get another 2-3 hrs more of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Heavy snow. Visibility maybe 200 to 250 yds at times past 10 mins They've completely closed down i74 or 220 from level cross to asheboro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Measured 6" here in south Durham, though I can get some spots in the grassy areas around 7" (subtracting the grass, of course). Still coming down, though not quite as heavy as it's been at times. HRRR indicates another 1-3" possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So I'm assuming that the passage of the upper low brings enough lift to wring out the available low level moisture, because all the soundings were indicating pronounced drying aloft. What else can be responsible for this amount of snow that is both poorly modeled and poorly represented by radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirNelson39 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 About 4” in Boone and still snowing with very high ratio snow, almost looks fake. Sure was an over performer here given many of the models have shown trace to inch amounts for Mtn’s and foothills. I posted several days ago to keep an eye out for a low to form in NW S.C. that could lead to an over performer in WNC. Love these over performers, 3rd one so far this season for this area. .

I dont think the past models were showing this closing off. At best it went neutral as it passed through. I dont know alot, but I know from watching these over the years that when they close off, they pull down crazy cold air and create their own weather and do what they want and models almost never get it right.

HKY_WX Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think the snow is starting to get a bit drier as of 3pm. Started off with large flakes prior to lunch and they have changed over to those smaller floaters. Still moderate snow here in Leesville. Had 3 inches an hour ago. Maybe nearing 4, but I need to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 6" at the house. Never any heavy snow but an extremely steady moderate snow rate combined with cold ground got the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
