Christmas Storm VII


Cold Rain

Recommended Posts

Here in Cleveland County (Fallston) its been snowing like CRAZY since about 10:30, really started sticking good around one and just went out and measured and we have 4" a good friend of mine in Casar (near South Mountain), is reporting close to 6" now.. I think he could maybe get close to a foot if everything works out!!!

Headed right for us!

(I have noticed though, right near the radar site a lack of returns that sometimes magically fills in.

Need temps to drop -- hearing lots of melting going on -- snow is so light, it's almost a wash accumulation-wise, although I have cleared the 1-inch hurdle, finally.

Looks like a big hole forming over the upstate....

wow that's a 6 inch difference in the span of less than 20 miles. only have an inch or so down here. where are you measuring?

thats what I was thinking. Thats incredible...of course, the same thing happened last year i believe where you guys in Mooresville had quite a bit more than CLT. I guess the line has to be drawn somewhere. I guess it just seems unusual when its in a large metro area and someone gets so much more than someone you consider just "down the street'

Kind of like those summer rainstorms you hit on the highway, where it goes from totally dry to a downpour...

btw, finally getting some accum here in Plaza-Midwood of CLT. Hoping we get enough to keep my corporate visitors out this week...lol

Sorry, but I find that a little tough to believe at this point.

I dunno, the radar returns have looked pretty good up that way - from the Wilson-Nash county line north looks like they've had steady precip going on for a couple of hours now. Here in Wilson proper? Nada, save a few sprinkles. Hoping for that precip hole to fill in soon.

Yeah here in Gville we are 36-37 over a DP of 25 once it starts we should go quickly to snow, you guys will not be far behind if you dont get there first. My friend in Louisburg said he has .5 inch on the ground with moderate snow and good flake size.

Dude, we lost that battle a while ago. People were posting AFDs in the banter thread, meteorology in the obs thread and now obs in the meteorology thread (and this post is banter in the meteorology thread).

I think it has turned into that time where there is nothing left to discuss. It is snowing and 4-6" are likely if not more. Although please still discuss where you think the low is going to go/bomb.

However... please keep observations in the obs thread please, folks.

This thing still has to go up the coast, and for us RDU folks, that's important...we want to know some insight of where the low will be and how close it will hug the coast...there's still some time for meteo disco, in my opinion.
