Gastonwxman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Moderate sleet falling here and accumulating quick on the roads. Already some issues with traffic up Union Rd. apparently. 27°/25° DP. Winds NE at 10mph. Also heard there were power outages in CLT. Can someone confirm this?

strongwxnc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 calling 4 3/4" here in bostic NC! Now waiting on the ip,fr or sn to get back in here from the returns in the upstate!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yep. A very good forecast. Between you, Foothills, Raleigh WX, Brandon(and MANY others), I get some great info. Do you think we will get much from the NWFS? I was thrilled with the last, but I suppose that was clipper enhanced. I don't think it will be as potent as the last NWFS, but it could be decent around the usual places. I wouldn't wager much more than 1" in the greater Asheville area though.

triadwx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Are you seeing any (very small) sleet mixing in with your snow. When it's real light I'm getting sleet, but when the intensity picks up it turns to light snow...27/22 I have been checking about every 5 minutes. I haven't heard any sleet or seen any. There has been a steady moderate snow for the past 30 minutes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Slick Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just when the radar returns appeared ready to clear my area, the heaviest snow of the day starts. Street and ground covered in 15 minutes. Much larger flakes - moderate snow. Humidity finally up to 82%. I guess that is why snow is finally reaching the ground...

packfan98 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I could hear some sleet, turned back to moderate snow and covered everything, and now back to sleet. All of this has happened over the last 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 6.5 inches. Best snow here since Feb 2004. It must have poured between 3AM and 6AM. As dry and powdery a snow as we ever get from a gulf system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triadwx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I still have consistent snow here in Lexington. It's been going like this for the past hour. Dropped about an inch in that time frame. I would like to see about 4 or 5 more hours of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBreeze Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I was getting a very light snow and sleet, but now it's transitioned to some sleet and a moderate snow with large nickel-sized flakes. Like triadwx said, it this keeps up it'll accumulate fast. The RUC did say the lifting would start around this time in the Triad, so perhaps it will verify....

magpiemaniac Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We've had a sustained flizzard for maybe the past two hours now. At least I'm seeing flakes finally. Roofs, mulched landscaping, and sidewalks are white. Grass is not quite covered completely, but might be within the next hour or so if the current rate continues. According to latest NAM and GFS, I might be able to get 2" to 4" of snow out of this before transitioning to freezing drizzle. And I wouldn't complain of a little ice just for the excitement of it all. I'm a bit underwhelmed, but I shouldn't be picky considering the circumstances.

weatherheels Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 For the first time today I would actually call the snow rate Moderate. Coming down very steady now, the best it has all day. Very small return on radar but it sure is pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thank you I hope so too...lol. I don't mind not having power for a bit...It's not having internet once the cell phone dies that will get me I just looked at my power company's outage map.. SCE&G, and not 1 customer is out in Lexington and less than 3000 the whole state. Pretty amazing stuff. So glad we got the snow instead of a ton of ice.

darkabyssus Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Seems like points east and west of RDU are in the 80's and 90% humidity range while RDU is stuck in the 40% range... Seems like we are pretty much screwed here. Oh well.. here hoping this wasn't our last chance this year.. Where's my cliff!!!? hehe Also, congrats to all who got some snow out of this!
