Tyler Penland Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 I wish I could say I was disappointed by the rain here but it's really just expected these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 A little bit of everything falling here. Temp is at 31.4 but has been rising slowly since 4 am. I still have some snow on the ground from last weekend so it's hard to tell but I don't think much of this is sticking. Looks like it'll be all rain in a hour or two.

kvegas-wx Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Radar says it should be snowing here in Stuart but the ground truth is a 33° cold rain. Bummer. 8:45 edit - I have a few slush flakes mixing in. Probably about as good as this one is gonna get here at the lower elevations in Patrick County Va.

If everything goes as planned that heavier batch moving in from TN should turn back to snow and end as snow before it all moves out sometime after 3pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right. Back to wet snow with some fatties. Temps stable at 32.4. Pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 This weather is so odd. Looked like a squall line coming into Asheville with dark clouds and wind gusting to 35 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_greenhorn Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Blacksburg/Christiansburg, VA: nice big flakes, dumped ~2 inches from 6 AM to 9 AM then abruptly shut down around 9:15. Radar looks like we're in a dry slot with signal to the east and west. Flipped to sleet around 10 AM. Would love to get some more flakes but I think we're done with snow and will only see mixed precip now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 lol, if ya wanna see some snow look at the live feed of the revelstoke railcam on youtube. Anyways, had a nice burst of heavy snow in Boone while I was making breakfast around 10:30, but been mostly quiet besides that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Just went to my house for lunch, 27° and light snow still with around 1.5" on the ground. Add another nickel and dime to the piggy bank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Here is a shot of that shelf cloud as it came through Asheville from one of my live camera. I had a quick burst of sleet that coved my whole deck in Alexander.

Wind chill values as low as -65. Northeast wind around 5 mph. Ice fog?! Fortunately, it's only "patchy". Can you drive through a fog of ice? Does it hurt to walk into it? Is it penetrable? Just. Crazy. Cold. Amazing. Edit: I just checked their forecast on NWS too. It adds the phrase, "Sunny". Can you actually use that phrase when there are less than 5 hours of "daytime" and the sun will be very low on the horizon? The ice fog may actually obscure it. Edit 2: Reading their AFD is just unreal. Check this out: "For the Fairbanks areas, near power plants, some industrial flurries may occur as the atmosphere wrings out the moisture in the power plant plumes." Industrial flurries! I don't think you should make snow cream with that snow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I hope we can all cash in soon but i'm still having my doubts about the pattern change. The pacific is still messed up and we are hoping the -EPO can save us. I also see signs of the SE ridge having trouble breaking down even on the EPS.
