Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 My concern too, I've had moderate freezing rain here and it's headed your way, I'm still at 24.8 degrees so it's ice as soon as it hits. I guess we'll be seeing this all day long, this could get rough. You can tell how the precipitation is changing in how it's forming. When you see temps like that below, temp wise, that is clearly a sleet sounding. But we have freezing rain instead. So the -10c layer must be drying out and we have super cooled droplets instead and the much talked about dry air punch is moving through. Still though, with 950mb temps of -5 to -6c, subfreezing layer up through 850mb to 875mb, and surface temps int the 20s...it's still a bit surprising it's not sleet instead of freezing rain.

DeepSouthSC Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Snowing moderately here and probably have around 4 1/2-5" at the moment. Did any of my neighbors hear thunder shortly after 5am? It was nearly a whiteout during that timeframe. It was quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avianman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Got about 2 inches in NE Hickory right now. Just light snow falling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDreier Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Looks to be about 5" in Irmo, SC and still falling. 28 degrees. So far the sleet and freezing rain remains well south of us. The longer it remains this way, the less chance of power outages. 'Keeping my fingers crossed for no AC loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Freezing rain in gainesville now btw. It seems it's going to freezing rain in between the heavier elements with this lighter precip forming below the infamous -10c layer. Indeed, there seemed to be little sleet and freezing rain here a little bit ago when it lightened up but it's back to mostly snow as it has gotten a little heavier. But it must be getting close now. Going to be an awesome sight to see a glaze on the trees over all this snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBreeze Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Beautiful light snow falling now - nickel to quarter-sized flakes. It's nice to wake up and see a coating of snow since it wasn't supposed to start here until lunchtime. Is the RUC still showing max lifting this afternoon for the western piedmont of NC?

Shawn Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Someone told me last night on here that we wouldn't be close to 6 inch snowfall amounts here in the CAE area. NAM trends were a super ice storm and less than 2" of snow last night. Local mets have increased to 5-10" counties just North of us and 4-8" for us. Totals keep being increased. Tons of snow here and still pouring down! Heavy bands still coming out of Southwest GA so the GGEM/JMA/GFS verified for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Man the radar is falling apart for North Central NC.

Hope you guys there have a BLAST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The bulk of the precip was not supposed to start til around lunchtime. Only problem with that is, It's not happen !

I live in the upper central midlands (Blythewood) and we may very well end up between 7"-8" before the changeover to sleet. I'm thoroughly impressed!
