Think back to early Dec of 2017. Models tend to under-do that northern periphery of moisture and its extent. Gotta give you props. Even tho we didn't get the accumulations expected with the meager rates and above freezing temps. This was still a great call when models were showing close to nothing. Great pattern recognition! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see that deformation feature showing up on the KMRX Radar give everyone a surprise dusting-1” tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be a skating rink later if the wind doesn't pick up Yes I was thinking the same thing. As you mentioned, only saving grace is if we get some good wind blowing through here. I think that batch in some form makes it across the mtns too so that will add to it as well. Wouldn’t be too concerned if temps were only going to be around 30 but NWS says 22.

cold air aloft Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Got home from work to find a couple of inches in the ridge on my property when I walked the dogs.. I know many of us didn’t get as much as we had hoped, but it snowed today. For this Winter, that’s ok. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw NC weather Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 We have about a inch and a half here, was hoping for more but I’m not gonna complain, I’ve learned to thank God for the amount he did give us. FYI this pic is took up the mnt looked to be about 4 to 5 inches. Also how do y’all make the image fit the screen better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My forecast turned out ok but I missed out for Rainforrest and was a bit high in some other areas. I thought I was conservative but not enough. Each storm is a learning experience.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Well, add another dusting to the 2019-2020 resume. Torn between wanting a big snow and being ready for fishing/topless Jeep weather. To all of you that really cashed in, congrats! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 What a winter in Boone, another dud. Around an inch. Sad when places in eastern NC get more in one storm than we’ve had all season. Congrats to the folks down East! Drove from Boone to Norfolk Virginia this afternoon/evening. Consistent snow from Winston Salem to Norfolk. Didn’t hit accumulations until Henderson, NC. Took HWY 52 in Virginia and the conditions deteriorated the further east we went (temp stayed steady at 34). Passed 8 snow plows in total heading west on 52, one about every 7-10 minutes. Caught up to 0 trucks heading east lol. About 15 minutes outside of Norfolk started to get into a rain snow mix and temp of 36. It’s now mostly snow, very wet snow that’s not accumulating well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Nothing is showing up on radar but we are getting enough lift to create some moderate snow here now. Snowing hard enough to cover my tracks in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Euro still looks interesting and that is the best trough I've seen all winter. We will see though. Like everything else we will monitor it. It has snowed all night here. We have picked up another half inch. We actually have moderate snow falling now but this stuff is super dry. It has been very steady though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonelight Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 We ended up with almost 2.5” near Deep Gap. Best snow so far. This winter though, I’ll take what I can get. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I ended up with 3.5...enough to get me over 32" this season. I'm in range of last season's total now, just need one or two decent snowfalls and I might catch up to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
