WidreMann Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Chapel Hilligans...what's happening under that band moving through? Looks like it could be moderate snow based on radar. I hope it makes to Durham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27596WXNUT Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 6.75” here just 2.5 miles east of Youngsville, NC off Hwy 96. Definitely a great storm. Played in it all day with the kids and other adults. One that will be remembered. Pic when I can. NWS and WRAL both showed 11” close to where I live. Not sure who measured that or reported it but they must have gotten under a heavy heavy band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveVa Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 2.5" down, looks like more is coming according to radar. NE NC could seriously overperform. Mesoscale Discussion 0031 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0909 PM CST Wed Jan 17 2018 Areas affected...The Outer Banks area of North Carolina into the Tidewater area of southeast Virginia Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 180309Z - 180715Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow rates in excess of 1 inch per hour, including occasional heavier convective bursts, may develop across the North Carolina Outer Banks area, possibly into portions of the Virginia Tidewater, during the 11 PM to 4 AM time frame. DISCUSSION...A significant mid-level trough is forecast to continue pivoting east of the southern Appalachians during the next few hours. As it does, models suggest that it may take on more of a neutral to negative tilt, accompanied by an increasingly better defined lower/mid tropospheric cyclonic circulation center across the piedmont through coastal areas. This appears likely to contribute to a consolidating area of upward vertical motion, with considerable strengthening by the 05-08Z time frame, centered across the Outer Banks area of North Carolina. Aided by dynamic cooling, cold advection and melting precipitation, thermodynamic profiles near immediate coastal areas are expected to cool entirely below freezing, supporting snow or a changeover to snow. Rapid Refresh forecast soundings indicate that lift may become maximized within the dendritic growth layer for several hours, supporting snow rates in excess of 1 inch per hour, in the presence of precipitable water between .5 and .75 inches. At least some convective enhancement appears possible leading to occasional heavier bursts of snow, before diminishing/spreading offshore after 08-09Z. It is possible similar snow rates could impact portions of the southeast Virginia Tidewater, but the most prolonged/heaviest snow appears most likely to the south, across the Outer Banks area near/north of Cape Hatteras. ..Kerr.. 01/18/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncforecaster89 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just stopped here, for gas, in Plymouth, NC. It's 32f, with SN accompanied by gusty winds. Ironically, about 20 minutes ago, between Washington and Plymouth, temp was 26f and BLSN. These areas have a coating, but are accumulating at a respectable rate. Onward to Hatteras island.

Dunkman Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The official at the airport for Greensboro is 7.0". No clue what craziness went on with the liquid equivalent. It's accurate through the 15:54 measurement and there wasn't a ton of additional accumulation after that. An inch or less of high ratio stuff.

Rarely come to the Southeastern forum but just had to see what was going on with this storm. It has been over performing all the way from Paducah through TN to the coast. It is so fun hearing everyones excitement and stories. Glad you all scored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncforecaster89 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Finally made it to Nags Head via hwy 64 E. It was a rather harrowing drive through the convective banding that set up near Columbia and points to the E of there. It was blowing and blinding SN+ in that band, where I could barely see 25 feet in front of me, didn't help that the road was completely covered and pitch dark along that rather desolate hwy!

downeastnc Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Columbia down to Belhaven and then west to Bath has just been hammered.....will be interesting to see the totals coming from there but they sat under some seriously heavy snow bands for HOURS......going to end up having a foot snow on the ground to my west and east with a measly 2-3" here.
