Maybe a few flakes mixed in here and there. Hopefully, that OBS from folks west of us starts working it’s way east at some point, but I’m getting concerned. We’ve been in a precip lull for hours now...and now it’s drizzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Gone back to mostly rain at this point, unfortunately. Tried to go for a Jebwalk in the sleet and just got drenched. (Fail!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Looking at the CC there seems to be some pockets of SN/IP in the heavier precip but it's mostly rain except Rockingham county, right along the border and into VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks this one doesn't seem to be working out, you missed a lot of good events this winter! Got some big flakes mixing back in here at the moment, but mixed precip isn’t going to get us anywhere. Yeah, this winter sounded good. Seemed like it rivaled the great recent winters of 09-10 and 13-14. Last winter had that fantastic storm in January, as well (granted, that winter overall was a disaster). Sucks to be down in the tropics for two of the bigger snowstorms in recent memory! I think this might be the latest in the season I’ve seen thus much snow before, aside from when I saw snow in May last year on vacation in Finland/Sweden. I remember it snowing here on the last day or two of March in 2002 or 2003, I think, but that was just a dusting, and we’ve got a little more than that on the ground tonight. Pretty near.

mjwise Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 From RNK Quote .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 1145 PM EDT Saturday... Extended Winter storm warnings into the Piedmont of North Carolina...to include Henry, Surry, Stokes, Rockingham, and Caswell. Per coordination with NWS GSP will also add Wilkes and Yadkin for mainly freezing rain and sleet. Significant snow accumulations are ongoing across the New River Valley with upwards of 12 to 15 inches of wet snow. I don`t think I have ever seen as much snow hanging in the trees as with this system. Power outages will likely mount as the snow continues. There is a sharp gradient in the snow vs. no snow with areas north and east of Roanoke receiving very little snow while areas just to the west are buried. Strong warm air advection up through the Tennessee valley is resulting in a change over to sleet and freezing rain for areas west of I-77. Going to be a fair amount of tree damage west of here, I imagine. Trees are plastered thoroughly here and we are well short of a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Just got upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning in Catawba County for 2-4 inches of snow and sleet!Wow! Didn't see that coming, and I'm not too confident that will verify, but would love to see it. I currently have about .25-.50 inches of sleet on the ground, with over an inch of liquid equivalent that has fallen.Sent from my Alcatel 6055U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Switched back to snow the last 20 minutes or so as the last batch moves through. Congrats to all who saw snow, likely the last measureable snow for piedmont areas until next winter (but with this spring who knows?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Getting some snow as this last batch of precip moves out. I can't complain, I got somewhere around a half inch of snow. Deck is still slushed over. For my area this was a win just to see the heavy snow come down last night. It was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much have you had all together this winter? see how close we are? Around 17 inches total. I went to bed after last measurement of 4 in. It was going back to sleet. If that storm were in January or February I think we would probably doubled what we got. I’m thankful we didn’t loose power. This wasnt a bad winter. Would I have liked to have seen more snow? Of course yes. But most of NC ,if not all,had snow this winter and that doesn’t happen to often. Ready for spring now but winter18/19 won’t be far away. Only 9 months until Christmas. What about your end if Surry? How did you do this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a good winter, I dread the hot and humid weather though! But ready to play some golf!!! I'm counting last night as 3 inches that I measured but it snowed heavy on and off a hour or two after I measured............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
