weatherlover Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFDDeac Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 On my back deck, just measured 4.25" here in Lewisville. Snow continues. As you were. 31.5 same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 " WLOS ABC 13 This is the most snow to fall in Asheville on Christmas day ever! The last record was 5.4 inches in 1969." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QC_Halo Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeronicaCorningstone Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 WHY HAS THIS TURNED INTO AN OBS THREAD?!?! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

This was from ILM this morning as far as the low at that time not sure what the thinking for it si now cant find anything discussing it really AS MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR MOVED ACROSS THE ATLANTIC EARLIER IN THE WEEK...PRE-CONDITIONING BEGAN OFFSHORE OF THE EAST COAST. THE ATLANTIC SURFACE CYCLONE INTENSIFICATION INDEX IS POINTING TO EXPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENT ONCE LOW PRESSURE REACHES THESE WATERS. THEREFORE...WHEN LOW PRESSURE... CURRENTLY JUST BEGINNING ITS TREK ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO...MOVES OFF THE COAST OF FL/GA THIS EVE...IT SHOULD BEGIN TO INTENSIFY MORE RAPIDLY THAN MODELS HAD PREVIOUSLY INDICATED. ALSO...FGEN IN THE H8-7 LAYER IS ALSO POINTING TO MORE INTENSE BANDING OF SNOW ON THE W SIDE OF DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE. LOW PRESSURE SHOULD BE 150 MILES E OF CAPE FEAR BY END OF PERIOD...

Marion_NC_WX Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Low is down to 1008 mb crossing over the florida panhandle. http://www.spc.noaa....pmsl&underlay=1 If you look at the 850mb map, is that the low still back over the AL/GA border?

downeastnc Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 There's our 1008 low in the north east gulf about to make the jump into the Atlantic. And it is indeed deepening. Rapid pressure falls on buoys off the east coast of Fl and GA lets hope this bombs faster than expected and moves slower....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly...its deeping thats for sure. Will only get stronger as it exits into the atlantic. This will be very fun to watch. I hope you get buried!

Lookout Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Something to possibly watch for in the upstate, there has been a noticeable increase in returns and intensity there...maybe a banding type feature? Regardless, Looks pretty impressive right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
