calculus1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Interesting from NWS GSP: Quote As of 920 PM Monday: The upper low embedded within East Coast trough is centered over the Tidewater region to our NE. Since sunset, have seen an expansion of light radar returns at elevations apparently below the Blue Ridge Escarpment; this appears to be due to a mountain wave, but per nighttime microphysics satellite product and IR cloud top temps, the lower clouds NW of the Escarpment are likely dropping some flurries or light snow within the radar-shadowed areas. The setup looks to have been captured well by the NAMNest, so it was blended into the overnight fcst to expand the light snow and/or flurry mention southeast into the Piedmont. With the upper low in place, can`t absolutely rule out flurries anywhere in the CWA, but have kept the mention where the low-level moisture is better. On that note, continued drying/downsloping should diminish the Piedmont activity in the early morning. The NW flow snow will become more of a pure upslope event following the loss of the dynamic lift Tuesday morning. Orographic lift across the TN border and Smokies still looks to produce over a foot of snow by the end of the period Tue evening. Most of the higher amounts associated with this event will be above ~3500-4000`, where thermal profiles are favorable for snow with heavy snowfall rates. See no reason to make significant change to existing snow amounts; do not yet have enough obs/measurements to improve on what we`ve got. Did rerun accums with latest PoPs, which made minor changes (new WSW out soon). The snow will diminish a bit more quickly in the afternoon/evening as drier air filters in. The Winter Weather Advisory is still in effect for elevations below 3500`, but those in populated areas along the TN border and down the valley away from the TN border, snow amounts lessen by a lot in these areas compared to the higher peaks. Expect a general 1-3" in these locations, while areas under the warning will exceed 4+". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I agree. Temps are right, brutal wind chills, about a 15:1 ratio, sideways snow. I bet Bucket's getting smoked right now.Just checked and I've picked up 4" on my board since dusk, even with all the wind. There's gonna be some big drifts beside the house in the morning!

natbright Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I don’t have snow. I have sparkly snow dust and crazy loud wind. You can hear it rushing between the mountains. Kinda sounds like a hurricane without the rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 I have 5 inches and counting with a temp of 19 degrees. It is still hammering. May make a run at a foot at this rate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Still not much snow in Boone, but the wind made it look like a snowstorm outside and I get an extra hour of sleep before work, no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Yokel Wx Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Got my inch I was hoping for, ended up with a storm total of 1.75" and although its still snowing, its so wind whipped and small in size i doubt we add much more. Cat has a running storm total of 6" 2" Sun PM - Mon AM 4" Mon PM - Tues AM Still light - moderate snow up there, maybe another 0.5 - 1" before its all said and done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklin NCwx Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Probably just under an inch of blowing powder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I have anywhere between 2 and 18 inches and still moderate snow. I'll try to get a measurement later but it's going to be tough to get an accurate one. If I had to guess, I would say maybe 8 inches. It's 17.4 with gusty wind. Looking at radar, it's going to snow all day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Right at an inch for a storm total since we picked up another 1/2” or so after it started up again yesterday evening (unless something else falls and accumulates today). We just never got flakes of any size here, just heavy dandruff stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Man, Weaverville looks like a solid 3-4” here where I’m getting gas. Roads are a mess. In Haywood, Junaluska to Canton had the most on the 74 corridor and what looked like 2-3”. Going up Sam’s Gap will be interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well, I have 16° and 8" on my board with 2-3'+ drifts. I really wonder how much fell, but like Joe said there's no telling. And it's still coming down at a good rate. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Nothing coming down in NW Catawba here in Hickory, despite the radar returns indicating otherwise. The direction of this flow is different than normal, though, which may explain the returns that are breaking containment. It's almost due north, just a few degrees west of that.Sent from my moto e5 supra using TapatalkSaw a few flurries under those radar returns last night after 10pm here in SE Caldwell County. Was hoping for more given the returns. Looks like we may have another shot at some more flurries today with more returns breaking containment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
