kvegas-wx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 12z NAM cranks out .53 for GSO between now and 7pm tomorrow. Most of it comes later this afternoon and tonight. Looks like almost all snow. Radar looks anemic now, but I haven't lost hope. TW I'll go ahead and call BS on that one. Unless we are talking about some serious coastal redevelopment, I just don't see the moisture being available to draw another .53 , much less a tenth, from the tap.

strongwxnc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Awesome. Must be your elevation. Yea I was thinking the same thing, radar looks like crap over my house, but it continues steadily on. 1" per hour rates, roughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Really no accumulations to speak of since the intial band hit pre-dawn. Very light snow here right now and 25. Must be some seriously dry air right at the N.C./SC border because it's just killing the precip as it moves this way. RUC runs starting to show precip shield breaking up over NE Ga/Upstate in the next few hours -- looks like I'll be lucky to get to warning criteria -- still stuck on 3 1/2 inches. (Wish I had a little of what the 12z NAM is smokin). yep same here in clt. I'm losing hope. Just can not NOT get over 3 inches in clt. It's amazing.

DeepSouthSC Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 A heavy burst has come my way again. I'm currently sitting at 5 1/2"-6" and believe I could get another inch or two from this particular band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The ice storm is getting worse. I've heard reports of one-half inch of ice in Dorchester, and even some in West Ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi Lookout....I was wondering do you really think we'll get the additional .25 to .50 seeing how the moisture that is streaming into NE GA is diminishing like hitting a brick wall? Am I missing something or can you explain how we're supposed to get it? Thank you in advance. See my previous post. But I think 0.25 is a realistic amount the rest of the day based on radar. But of course not everyone will and it's hit and miss. You also have to keep in mind there will be freezing rain/drizzle the radars won't pick up since some of it is forming at a low elevation and the radar is over shooting it. The problem is it won't take much to really cause problems. Roads in atlanta have completely iced over due to the light freezing rain/drizzle and the nam suggests freezing drizzle will continue to fall even into tomorrow morning. This is probably likely as that is par for the course in strong cad situations as they start to break down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheapdad00 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 zero flakes in RTP still I left thick heavy clouds and frozen dirt in West Cary (but no flakes or snow), drove to work in downtown Durham and was greeted with sunshine and a few wispy clouds.

Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 STILL sleeting here and it looks like sleet/ZR will linger into tomorrow. A tick over 6" now, snowbound for a couple days with 4.5" on the roads. Most of us wont' be going anywhere for a few days lol. I do worry about those who have emergencies though because it's virtually impossible to get to anyone, especially in rural areas. This will be especially true as we get a coating of freezing rain/drizzle on top of it. I haven't checked but I'm guessing there is at least 6 inches of snow on my road (assuming that some of it melted last night)..but it could be more. It just isn't going to go anywhere and of course they won't be able to clear these back roads..hell there isn't any snow plows or anything of that nature here anyway. It's gone over to mostly light sleet/freezing rain here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The problem with radar now is that the cloud deck is so low, especially for us, most of what falls is below the tilt of the beam and it's not picked up. Still have sleet and freezing rain off and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well congrats on your 4 Burger. Still sitting at 3 with flurries. I'm near the airport, which is the official measurement, so yeah. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreensboroWx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It not coastal development...it's the pocket of upper level energy sliding up from n central GA into the western/central part of NC. This provides the lift and precip. I'll go ahead and call BS on that one. Unless we are talking about some serious coastal redevelopment, I just don't see the moisture being available to draw another .53 , much less a tenth, from the tap.

burgertime Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Also I should add that some heavy radar returns are headed towards CLT so don't understand all the cliff diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 6" yesterday, I cleaned of the hood of the car and another 5" overnight. Still light flurries. Great pic! Looks like a lot of drifting... can't see the railings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Oh well, this was just meant to be a Deep South and southern NC border counties storm. There have been so many times when RDU, the Triad, Northeastern NC, and VA got snow when the rest of the region did not, so those left out this time should not be too upset. I rejoice that people who have been shafted in the past are reaping a bountiful snow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have sleet and freezing rain off and on. Yep. Just looking at the latest nam, it shows freezing drizzle or the possibility of it all the way through tomorrow afternoon in the damming regions..pretty incredible. It also keeps us below freezing virtually all day..which isn't surprising. I'd be surprised to get above freezing tomorrow. here is the 33 hour nam..valid for 21z tomorrow..still freezing drizzle around. The actual accumulations won't be much but it means things just won't get any better through tomorrow and won't until we get some sun wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I agree for you location Burger. West of you, Im really looking at the returns coming into western upstate as it has a better angle of coming into the southern foothills. I hope..

SnowNiner Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Also I should add that some heavy radar returns are headed towards CLT so don't understand all the cliff diving. Yeah, I've been waiting on those returns just to our south to get in here for the last hour and a half. It seems like they break up right before they get here. Not giving up yet, just seems like the earlier runs that had most of the moisture staying just to our south was more correct. Light snow in west Clt right now.

Robert Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Moderate Snow 28 degrees Union, SC Got between 5 and 6 inches on the ground. Heavier returns moving in on radar. Hope to squeeze another inch or 2 out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grcjrsc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 5 to 7 inches of snow in Elgin, SC already, coming down at about 1/2 to 1 inch per hour. Road are treacherous to say the least. I went to work about 5 miles away and then they sent us home. Both trips took over 30 minutes. Listening to the scanner and the Fire Department and Police Department are running wreck after wreck...

I don't have any shoveling to do, my new furniture will be delivered on time, my car stays clean and I can go to the grocery whenever I please. On the other hand, my weenie suicide is going to come from trying to manage my kids who are PISSED and are home from school!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
