LMA1973 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I was hoping-thanks. They made that decision ~5 hrs ago before anything had really fallen. I suspect if the IP/ZR continues through the night, they will close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Don't feel bad. I have less than 1/2 inch. I seem to be just SE of whatever is going through Davidson county into Winston. Has been snowing for several hours but so lightly no accumulation occurs. I missed alot of the action tonight after sunset. The southern part of our county got licked pretty hard this morning, Some folks ended up near 6 below Seagrove. I just hope this pattern atleast has one more big one in it. Been since Feb 2004 since I've seen a foot plus and like Wow I'm getting ancy/greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triadwx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Steady light to moderate snow, maybe another inch of accumulation by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 so rockingham, NC was underestimated, we ended up with 8.7 inches and its still freezing raining. the best part of the day is watching the cars try to get up the steep hill in front of my house. spinning and sliding. people are crazy to just get out and ride like most of them are doing. Someone called in 10" from there. Was that a weenie ob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yeah, WGHP says 10 inches in Richmond County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow haven Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Someone called in 10" from there. Was that a weenie ob? no thats probably right in the center of town they had about 9.8 thats from a friend who is also a weather nut. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 No, Im pretty sure that was an official reading. I was surprised as you were. Ok just checking. That is amazing to be sure. We had 5 so just 30 miles south and the total was doubled. That shows the gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NegativeTilt Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wake county schools are only under a 2 hour delay so i guess its not as bad as i thought. Wow. School systems usually do this to buy time to see whether they need to indeed go on with their scheduled day , or indeed close the system. My wife is a teacher and this is the usual hell she has to go thru every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDeac Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I noticed that too, hmm. Something to keep an eye on. Could this really happen? I can't remember a similar event in the past 20 years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ok just checking. That is amazing to be sure. We had 5 so just 30 miles south and the total was doubled. That shows the gradient. Goes from 1/2 inch to 6 across Randolph countyN/S, So the gradient went up or down(depending on ones perspective) fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG_Slick Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Still snowing in western forsyth county, but apparently I haven't had the rates that others south and east of Winston-Salem have had. I probably only have just over an inch total. Rather compacted with mixed sleet and grauple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose4 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 About a half-inch of sneet on the ground here in the Bull City, light sleet still coming down. Durham County schools were on just a 1-hour delay last my wife checked. I can't see them going tomorrow if the forecast for light freezing rain all night pans out. I know they were probably embarassed by today, but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBreeze Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I had 1.5 inches this morning, but it evaporated during the day. Right now I've got just over 1". A good bit of that is sleet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Shifted over to a sleet/snow mix over the past hour. Everything is white -- road, grass, sidewalks -- but the total accumulation isn't staggering. May 1.5" tops. Roads aren't good and commuters might have trouble in the morning. Edit: Back to all snow now. Quite steady in fact. Might see additional accumulation if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feloniousq Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Seems to be more ZR than IP now in South Durham. The dusting on my deck is now coated in glaze and is extremely slick. Not sure what the school systems are waiting for. No one should be on any road tomorrow at 7:30 AM (which with a delay is when they start - doesnt gain you much of anything).

JoshWeather Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Timberlake, NC...very light snow right now...deck is coated but you can still see the cracks. Looks like a decent band heading northeast coming my way in the next 20-30 minutes. Interested to see what kinda precip comes with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to WZTK should be interesting in the morning. The kids are out of school in Guilford, but my wife will need to decide whether to go in to work.

kvegas-wx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Last post of the night folks, I'm dead. The thing that really amazes me the most about this banding is I go from dead calm winds and nothing but flurries to heavy snow in the blink of an eye. And as quick as the heavy snow starts, my flag goes horizontal. The winds are STRONG under these bands. Hence the "snowing like hell" comment from an earlier poster. You literally get a 5 minute white out. A couple more bands and I'll hit 2". Kids will be happy tomorrow. I need sleep! All mets......THANK YOU. I really don't know how you do this and your day jobs too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Did anyone notice the gfs wants to put another .25 over part of central and eastern NC over the next 24 hrs? I don't know if that's possible but found it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Good ol' Brad and Britt If you love your wife,lol you'll have her stay home. I'm setting my alarm for 6:00 to see what they say. My wife brought her PC home from work to do performance reviews or some such other. If we keep power, she's fine. If the power goes, I'll start the generator, but it's going for refrigeration and the basic. Wireless internet isn't life or death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 my wife is a teacher at the Durham School of the Arts...I'm pretty sure I'm not letting her go if they are open or not! However, I feel certain they will close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks like there's one more round for my area for the night with the last bit of precipitation arriving out of the SW. Went outside a few minutes ago and let me tell ya, that snow has become EXTRA CRISPY and hard. Nearly slipped and fell from just taking a light step on the concrete. I'd be careful about going outside if I were any of you. This ice means business but makes for great sledding for tomorrow! Still remaining at 28° with continuous light NE winds.
