calculus1 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Still only the solitary flake I saw around 8 AM this morning. Downsloping, FTW! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurydime Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I missed the first push this morning. Cat woke me up at 6:30 and no snow at that time here. Went back to bed (as I'd turned in after 2a). Woke up to a mulch topper. Since, looks to be about .75 so far on the deck railing. Been some big flakes mixed in. Presently in a little lull. Watching it fall has always been my favorite part of it, outside tracking the storm. Currently 32.4/31.2 at 10:30a. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have gotten hammered from this storm, it just goes to show you how close it was to being a big storm. Everything almost has to be perfect nowadays, and forget the models until about 36-48 hrs it seems. I am happy right now just watching it snow finally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 20 mins in falling snow outside playing basketball with my kid. So win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Yea I think this will be my “what could have been” storm I think about often. The Jan storm had signs for multiple days that we were going to be squeezing juice out of spent lemons but this one really teased us with the southern stream up until late Sunday. We just got dominated by the northern stream this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I would be surprised if they don't cancel the WWA for Catawba County at the next update. Here's the point-and-click for North Hickory. If I do the math, less than half an inch, times three, can still be zero. That's my official prognostication, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 If what was falling from Flat Rock to Columbus can pivot through then it will awesomE mood flakes for sure. Working around Spindale today and tomorrow so I’m a part of you foothill guys during the day at leafst. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sooner did you post this, GSP updated the advisory to extend until noon tomorrow. Coating - an inch possible with the ULL. We’ll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I'm surprised how warm its gotten. Its 36 in Asheville which means its probably at least that in Marion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXNewton Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Light snow again in Newton, radar looks...um...about how I expected it to look. It's funny how your expectations shift throughout a winter storm potential and now I am happy just to see it snow. Chasing these tiny little bands on radar has become the highlight of my day so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like tomorrow would have been a better day for virtual school rather than today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 It stinks for us but imagine being near the triad or southern Virginia where they were looking at 4 to 6 inches just yesterday now a dusting to an inch at best. Raleigh may get 2 or 3 inches but that's questionable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 It’s so annoying that it’s been snowing steady or at least off/on since 9 and I have nothing to show for it. Tiny flakes. It’s 37 degrees. We can’t winter here anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
