TSOWxWizard Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 So I am home in Dacula, GA from Mobile, AL for Christmas break (left Mobile December 14th and go back on the 17th of Jan), needless to say I couldnt pick a better period right?... But , wow its amazing out there! So beautiful! Still snowing a little bit right now. Started around 10:30-10:45 ish last night and boy did it ever come down. By midnight we had 4"~ and then it started to taper off and since then we have had on and off again snow. Very windy too, I dont think I have ever seen wind swept snow like this so it has been a real treat. Just wish I would have gotten to hear thunder while it snowed but I'm super happy with what I got! Went out and measured a few spots and got an average of about 6.5" of snow. Measurements ranged from 5.5"-8"...of course thanks to the wind blown snow its hard to get an accurate measurement of just how much has fallen. Also, since its so windy outside we have drifts developing here too! Went out and measured a few for fun at 13" (where the snow had been blowing off the roof and onto the ground, still cool nonetheless). Very pleased!

NCSNOW Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Heavy Snow report at the airport, NC SNOW and others out that way whats its like over there? snow here is maybe moderate at best. Over an inch and still snowing about the same rate. If it can do this most of the day, we'd be golden. I ve got to get up to work in High Point here shortly. I hate to leave the house and head somewhere it may not even be snowing. Roads are solid white. I told Jburns we'd see snow by sunrise at the latest. Anyway I'll be sneaking on the computer checking the obbs today, so keep me posted. Wife and kids get the day off from school. Wish I was back in teaching on days like today.

NCSNOW Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Love the 850's right now for SC. Thanks for posting that, saved me from digging. Thats -9 850's in central NC. These rates are killer right now if you can get under some echoes, 20dbz is all it takes and the atmosphere will squeeze it to death. Snow is dry like sugar outside.
