phil882 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just got home. I have 1-2 inches in my front yard. We are nickel and diming our way to a normal season here. Just amazing this evening. Pretty nice thump of snow in about 45 minutes. Nice Deal! Seems like you got under the same band that got Knoxville pretty good a couple of hours ago. Snowfall has picked up here again, but it seems like we are about to have another break in the action according to radar. No accumulation as of yet. Temp: 34.1 degrees Dewpoint: 32.8 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp: 34.1 degrees Dewpoint: 32.8 degrees It was a nice band. Downtown Kingsport doesn't have quite as much, but industry can have an impact on totals there. Accumulations vary quite a bit. It was almost like a line of summer rain showers rolling through with some parts of town fairing better than others as far as qpf goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Better days ahead for you Robert. Yours is coming! thanks Don. I'd love to see a really big snow and know ahead of time it's coming, with cold ground, cold surface air, no radar holes, the works. Its been a very long time since thats worked out here. I'm 36 now and there might be some wet snow mixed in, hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feloniousq Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Friend of a friend was supposed to come from the NC mountains to the piedmont tomorrow and is staying put - says the visibility where she is is too bad. Don't have her specific location but someone must be getting some good rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've still got plain rain and 36. Just checked the meso page and its almost -1 at 850 here, but the 925 is still too warm on this side of the mountains where I'm at anyway. If the rates would really increase maybe that would switch it over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilj4425 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 You are listening to KROW: the "screw you" station for snow. Right now in G-Vegas we have light to moderate rain beginning to move through with a cool temp of 41. Little to no wind. We'll keep you updated. Traffic is next.

Stovepipe Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The snow in Knoxville today was some of the heaviest snow I've seen in my life, no joke. HUGE flakes. This kept up for 3 hours easily. I ended up with 2 inches at my house but nothing stuck for the first hour or more due to temps being in the mid 30s. It was an amazing site to see.

NCSNOW Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 37 with DP of 28 given me a wetbulb of 33.5. Still no precip, radar looking good, temps not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Lots of melting going on per radar, 37/30 here in the Coastal Plain w/OVC conditions... We are going to have some serious BL issues to contend with, and given the light nature of the event, shaping up to be -RN at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Had to answer the dinner bell. In that time we had a moderate burst os snow & well it looks like GSP was right on the money for my area. I would guess a little less than a tenth of an inch on the grassy surfaces. (Not even worth trying to measure)Temp. is now down to 33.8° but the bulk of the moisture has gone thru. Hope the time of day may help the downstream folks with temp. issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercurydime Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 as far as i can tell, there's been absolutely no snow mixed in with the rain i've been having since about 19:00. temp is 36 and falling. not sure the 1" of snow forecast by noaa/nws will verify...maybe a change-over is in the offing, but i have my doubts... glad to hear of those west of me picking up a bit, though... wouldn't be surprised to see an icy glaze in the morning here...

Tullioz Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Looks like the moisture will stay mainly to the South of my area. I actually have mainly clear skies which have allowed the temperature to drop to 31.8. Maybe that little batch of precipitation moving through Surry County will bring me a dusting of snow in a couple of hours from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Sprinkles and 35.7 So nothing here radar shows it's already just about passed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Based on critical thickness, and 925mb UA analysis, folks in NC excluding areas west of 77, should not put much stock in this marginal event. Granted, QPF amounts were meager to begin with, but that coupled with serious BL issues is leading to a mixed bag of -RN and drizzle. Best chances of seeing anything frozen look to reside along the boarder counties with VA, and even that seems like a stretch atm as the greatest QPF axis looks to be south of there given current radar, which would set it up along and south of 40.

You beat me to it. I talked a little about this in my updated discussion tonight. This isn't one to stay awake for to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
