Isopycnic Posted January 10, 2011 Author 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!

CoolBreeze Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 From the mosaic radar, it looks like there's a train of precip literally coming up I-85 from the GA/SC line all the way up to the Triad. I'm glad what's left of the storm was able to find it way here, finally ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 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. I would expect those numbers to substantially increase overnight. Hopefully not, but likely.

WidreMann Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 So the precip started back up again, but it's mostly sleet with a few flakes thrown in. The changeover has already taken place, hours ahead of schedule. Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherheels Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Right as we start getting the snow at a decent rate, probably 1/3"-1/2" per hour the sleet starts to mix in with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaPilot Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Does anyone have any links to snowfall amount maps for this storm yet? I'm curious about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest T Bass Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Light sleet and snow now. We've had some heavier bursts but never gotten sustained heavier snow today. Less than an inch of snow here. I know they are reporting more in town, but north of I40 the moisture really dried up. Oh well - win some lose some. Still something which is more than a lot of winters and it is nice to see the reports from GA, SC and other parts of NC - they were due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncweathergirl Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We've had some good snow off and on for the past hour in Salisbury - but the roads are now covered again. It will be a huge mess in the morning, especially if we get that glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I would expect those numbers to substantially increase overnight. Hopefully not, but likely. Well, the precip is almost done here in Lexington, and the limbs aren't even leaning.. the lines have a couple icecicles on them and thats about it. Thankfully!

Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Here's what i found for GA. http://test.crh.noaa.gov/ffc/?n=20110109winterstorm Nothing yet from Raleigh/GSP They should throw a little red at the end of that 8 inch contour and around NeGa's (poster) location. Interesting map though. I would have thought the 8 inch amounts would be a little more widespread. Just took a long walk and it was pretty amazing. Walking in the snow is more like walking across a frozen puddle. There is now so much ice on top that With each step, cracks spread out in all directions. Walked up to the road and it's a mess. You can see where 2 or 3 almost lost control and went into the ditch. The few vehicles that did travel on it did nothing more than create a sheet of slush that is already refreezing into a sheet of ice. The rest of the road has 5 or 6 inches of snow on it. A little Surprised at the amount of ice accretion though. I would estimate it's about 0.15. Lots of crackling in the trees when the wind blows. And of course the entire time, there has been moderate to heavy freezing drizzle with some light sprinkles thrown in. One would think that wouldn't matter much but it's added up a fair bit and I wonder how much there will be if it continues all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough ip that it's making quite a noise hitting the window panes. Posted a bunch of pics in the picture thread and this after being all over the hood i'm convinced it was more like 8"here for an average, several drifts over a foot around the house! The freezing rain hasn't stopped in 2or3 hours...its light but really evident on the power lines, signs, sides of the cars and gutters (1/4 inch ice sheet hanging) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
