Wow Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The dreaded hole is desperately trying to hold on. It has been for 4 hours now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos83 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Not sure why folks are upset in CLT...let the storm finish then call it a bust. Agreed Burger.... all this time spent model watching then staying up late last night and getting up early this morning is making it hard to swallow right now but I'm radar watching like crazy hoping to squeeze out a comeback win.

TayfromCarolina Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 That's because you're in NORTH Raleigh lol. My office is downtown on Fayetteville street and it's snowing here. But up where my home is just south of Rolesville, Zilch, Nada. Zero. still yet to see any flakes in N. Raleigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilj4425 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 How much accumulation have you guys in Charlotte had so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I quickly went from snow to freezing rain. Hardly any sleet in between. What a storm! I'm about to go riding around. Final snow total 6.0 inches exactly on elevated flat surfaces. 6.5 to 7.5 inches measuring in the yard. I would imagine the 6.0 is a little low because some snow was whisping off the car tops during the strong winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos83 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 How much accumulation have you guys in Charlotte had so far? 3 inches maybe here. I got it all between 3:45 - 5:30 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennedy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I am on NC/SC border and doing well with a little over 5 inches so far and it is coming down at a heavy clip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Left the house and about 1 1/ 2 inches, up here at work in HP and the dusting they had has evaporated. Judging Radar this omega push getting ready to come across the state line has got to do the trick. Should really get you Charlotte guys good for atleast an hour of mod/heavy. Hopefully it can push and hold together and get MBY above the 3 inch mark and help my despaired co-wokers up here in HP/Gboro. Also a band is building up coming off the foothills, maybe everyone can atleast get the ground white. It will make the next several sub freezing days more enjoyable for sure.

calculus1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Those are thickness thresholds for precip type. If north of both lines you're a sure bet for all snow. South of both contours, typically a rain event unless surface wet bulbs are below freezing for ZR issues. In between, often find mixed precip UNLESS localized thermodynamics are occuring w/in the atmosphere to cool the column for snow... such as a burst of heavier precip resulting in adiabatic cooling which often happens w/in mesoscale bands. You can also get diabatic cooling from snow too to adjust the temperature of the column of air. Jetstreak Great! Thanks for the info! I still have a lot to learn about this awesome science called meteorology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amos83 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 LOL Man watching the radar right now is like watch a playoff game..... I'm yelling come on, come one! Just a few more miles baby.... the precip looks to be trying to finally cross the NC/SC line .

lilj4425 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 3 inches maybe here. I got it all between 3:45 - 5:30 this morning. Gotcha...thanks. Sorry you guys haven't gotten more yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 LOL!! Yep. However, the returns are starting to go N into Polk County and it looks like "looks" some banding might sit up over the county. Just check the 925 and 850 are still below freezing.

stlirish Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Truly a 1 and 20 years storm for North Georgia. I sadly missed it, but have been living vicariously through my Dad (who is an avid Snow lover like myself). He estimates about 9" actually accumulated, and it has settled to around 7" (IP and ZR helping to do that). My parents live in Lilburn, GA. From what I've been able to gather, it looks like a 7-10" band setup right on top of the north side of ATL and spread northeastward/eastward up 85/316 towards Athens and into Central/North Central South Carolina. I've noticed a trend with the NAM lately, where about 2 runs before the event, it has a pretty good handle on QPF placement, and then right before it moves it too far north. Just an observation.

SnowNiner Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well I'm going to call it a storm. The event I think just played out how the models called it a couple days ago. I know i should be happy for the 3 inches I get, but man, I'm just so disappointed that I can't break the 3 inch nickel and dime events the past 7 years IMBY.

I've been eyeballing the dry slot that runs from I/26 & NC State line directly to I/40-85 junction in GSO for hours now. I ve put post it notes on my laptop screen for 30 minutes to see if it moved. Nope! I can't find anything with a NNE trajectory towards GSO. I'd take a snowball at this point. Crushed ice from my fridge if I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Here are some pics I shot a little while ago. My poor dog's house is surrounded by a foot of snow...for some reason I found that hilarious. I don't know if you can tell but my lake is frozen over and there is actually some snow on the ice on the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 nice pics lookout! very similar here looks like the snow part of the storm is over - down to light sleet/freezing drizzle. one heck of a storm. not sure i really busy an additional .25" of qpf on some of the models, but we shall see lol sorry to those who were missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx4life Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Let's hope it is all snow also! fingers crossed,but so far so good.snowfall has defintely picked up and with the little bit of wind we have makes it looked like someone keeps shaking the snow globe..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rankin5150 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Oh man...Belmont, NC is under another heavy band of snow. Looks like the Def axis is setting up shop around here. I measured a 30 minutes ago and we were at 4.75", before this band came in. It looks like its raining snow. Looking at radar, it looks like some holes are filling in down south. Hoping this holds for persons north and east of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
