BooneWX Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I’m wondering if this precip has been so heavy over the past hour or two that it’s dragging down some of that warm air above us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Damn! Patiently waiting for the complete snow transition. Would’ve probably picked up another 2in in the last couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Mesoscale Discussion 0075 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1059 AM CST Sun Jan 16 2022 Areas affected...Northern South Carolina...North Carolina...Southern and Central Virginia Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 161659Z - 161945Z CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT LAT/LON SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall with rates exceeding one inch per hour will be possible across the southern Appalachians and Virginia Piedmont this morning from western North Carolina into southern and central Virginia. Freezing rain or a changeover to freezing rain is expected from parts of northern South Carolina northeastward into southeastern Virginia. DISCUSSION...Water vapor imagery shows an upper-level low moving eastward across the central Gulf Coast states with divergent mid-level flow located across southern sections of the Eastern Seaboard. A plume of mid-level moisture is located across the Carolinas and Virginia, where widespread precipitation is ongoing. Temperatures are currently below freezing across much of the southern Appalachian Mountains, where snow is being reported. A few locations have exceeded one inch per hour snowfall rates. As large-scale ascent spreads northeastward ahead of the upper-level low, the potential for heavy snow should increase across parts of western and central Virginia. Further to the east, temperatures are also below freezing across much of the North Carolina Piedmont. In this area, freezing rain is being reported in many locations due to a low-level warm layer that is forecast to spread northward into southeastern Virginia later this morning. In response, freezing rain should continue across parts of central North Carolina. Snow should gradually change over to freezing rain across much of southeastern Virginia this morning. ..Broyles.. 01/16/2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 If the HRRR is to be believed, we should all mostly switch back to moderate/heavy snow within the hour through 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BhamParker Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The sleet really compacted the snow down. I’ve taken several more measurements and they are all about the same, but I brushed off the trash can top at 9 and it’s gotten an easy 3 inches since then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Boyer says things are winding down and most folks should only expect about another inch. Hate the sleet compacted things down here but definitely worth the trip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
