    It's graupel. We had a shower pass through Eden about an hour ago producing the same.

    We're having a nice little event here along the NC/VA border. Special Weather Statement National Weather Service BLACKSBURG VA 244 AM EST Sat Feb 29 2020 NCZ001>005-019-VAZ015-016-032-043-290845- Stokes-Surry-Rockingham-Ashe-Wilkes-Alleghany-Henry-Grayson-Patrick- Carroll- 244 AM EST Sat Feb 29 2020 ...A BAND OF HEAVY SNOW WILL AFFECT LOCATIONS NEAR THE BORDER OF VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA... At 241 AM EST, a band of heavy snow extended from near Nella through Cana to near Horse Pasture. Movement was east at 40 mph. Locations impacted include... Eden... Mount Airy... Flat Rock... Mayodan... Sparta... Jefferson... and Dobson. Expect a rapid accumulation of up to an inch of snow along with visibility near zero at times. Roads will quickly become slippery and make driving hazardous.

    I ended up with around 2" at my location in Eden. It wasn't until a couple hours after the snow had tapered off before I could get a final measurement, so some compacting and melting took place, it may have been slightly higher. I'm currently watching an area of snow that has developed in East of Roanoke over the past hour that is drifting to the south. Several of the models have been showing some additional accumulations for the northern Piedmont from this feature, so it will be interesting to see if that will be the case.

    It's only a novelty at this point, but many of the models are continuing to show an area of light snow developing in Virginia and dropping into the northern Piedmont of NC before 7am. Accumulations look to be light, an inch or less on most of the models, but it's an interesting feature never the less. I have noticed the radar is just now starting to show returns blossoming between Roanoke and Lynchburg so this may be the beginning stages of what the models are showing. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to stay awake long enough to see how this plays out though.

    I'm closing in on 1 1/2" in Eden. I'm not sure if I'll make it to two or not with the lighter returns on the radar to the west. The snow rates have become noticeably lighter over the past 30 minutes and the temperature has went back above freezing to 32.4.
  6. Tullioz
    Starting to see a slushy accumulation on the road in front of my house. HRRR looks encouraging, but looking at radar things will probably start winding down soon in my area, at least the heavier rates of snow anyway.
  7. Tullioz
    Seeing some pretty good snow rates at this time. The temperature has just dropped below freezing. Currently 31.8 with a dew point of 30.9.

    It's been just over an hour since the snow started here at my location just NW of Eden and I'm just now starting to see some accumulation in the grass with the temperature just above freezing at 32.7. The dew point has come up to 30.3 from the low 20's this morning.
  9. Tullioz
    Starting to see the first flakes here in Eden. Very light at the moment. 39.2/25.1

    It's a long shot for sure and the area that would be affected extremely small geographically, but it could very well be the highlight of this event for some if it does in fact materialize with gusty winds and the higher ratios at the time it moves through. The latest run of the Canadian has a little over an inch of snow falling in the Greensboro area between 1am and 7am.

    I know it's not much, but for those in the Piedmont of NC a few of the models (GFS, Canadian, UKMET) have been showing a narrow band of light snow moving through from north to south between 1am and 6am Friday morning. This has been showing up for the past few runs and depending on the model looks like it might have the potential to bring an additional 1/2 to 1 inch of snow for those lucky enough to find themselves under it if it were to actually develop. It shows up nicely on the latest run of the RGEM
  12. Tullioz
    Down to 33.1 and overcast with a dew point of 27.0.
  13. Tullioz
    37.6/27.2 Mainly Clear 2 miles NW of Eden, NC
  14. Tullioz
    31.1/28.2 with light rain/freezing rain and a light glaze on elevated surfaces. The temperature went from 27.3 to 32.9 between 9:45 and 11pm before falling below freezing again shortly after the rain began to fall.
  15. Tullioz
    You're definitely in a warm spot compared to many areas around you. Looking at Wunderground I can see a couple of stations around Winston Salem/Greensboro that are sitting at 32 degrees or slightly below.
  16. Tullioz
    27.4/22.1 with high thin clouds filtering the moon. Shiloh Airport (KSIF) in Rockingham County is already down to 26.
  17. Tullioz
    I'm hoping the RGEM doesn't verify, but it may have a better handle on the temperatures. Just since my last post less than 30 minutes ago the temp has dropped from 38.7 to 35.8. The NWS has the low in my area tonight falling to 32 which is going to bust on the high side as it appears at this time. If the temperatures manage to fall into the mid 20's by the time the precipitation begins, it will likely take them a little longer to rise above freezing than what is currently expected.
  18. Tullioz
    Looks like this will be a marginal but short lived event here along the NC/VA border. The temperature at my location has already dropped three degrees from the afternoon high of 42. Currently sitting at 38.7 with a dew point of 21 with mainly clear skies.
  19. Tullioz
    The band of precipitation moving through Rockingham County at this time is producing a mixture of light snow and sleet just northwest of Eden. Current temperature 35.1.

    Those images are from Typhoon Haiyan.

    There's a small airport about 15 miles south of him that will no doubt be used as a staging area, so that could be an option he can try again. Hopefully there will not be any washouts of the road between his current location and there.
  22. Tullioz
    It will be interesting to see how difficult it will be for him to get out of that area once all is said and done. That part of Luzon is quite remote and the roads leading in and out of his location are limited. This may end up be a chase he later regrets. I hope that's not the case, but if the roads become blocked with debris and washed out in several locations, it could be quite a challenge.

    This is not the best example, but today we had a weak tropical storm pass through the Philippines. The heaviest rains were found well north and east of the center of circulation. While the exact center is hard to define at this point, it is somewhere west of the main islands roughly where the red circle is based on information provided by the JTWC and my best estimate. My questions are, what would be the cause of the heavy rain continuing well to the east of the storm center, and is there a technical term for this? https://www1.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/index.php/2-uncategorised/2700-radars Link to Satellite (Time sensitive) http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters/02W/flash-ir-short.html

    I self published a couple of books through create space and have been satisfied. My books are available on Amazon in both print and through the Kindle format which makes them available internationally, but most of my sales come from my own effort. I usually order them in bulk and sell them myself when I am visiting the states and also sell them through a couple of mom and pop bookstores on a consignment basis.

    I was just checking in to read some of the snow reports from back home and realized it has been a year almost to the day since I last posted a picture in this thread. Below are a couple taken within the past few weeks. The first is myself and one of my volunteer teachers posing with a couple children from the Badjao tribe as we were handing out Christmas gifts. The second was taken somewhere in the jungles of Southern Mindanao. Not much to report weather wise from this part of the world. Mainly sunny, hot, and humid; that would pretty much sum things up year round over here.
