DC2Winston

Very light snow, small flakes near in Winston - Statford/Hanes Mall area - just started.

Just some fuzzy overcast still in Winston. Breezy.

Is it just a coincidence that current SE regional radar mosaic mirrors the modeling - showing the lee side precip shadowing in NW piedmont? I mean it looks just like the total QPF maps.

Can you link the post? Thanks

39/26 - dew point trying to creep up. Just some virga overhead.

Thanks, I agree. I'm remembering the over-running orientation from the December 2018 big storm. Definitely had a WSW to ENE movement. Our air is super dry here now. Maybe I'll storm chase to Rocky Mount or Greenville

Were dew points modeled to drop this low in the Triad area? I'm seeing lots of low 20's... I understand that helps a quick changeover to snow - but isn't it a double-edge sword with lower QPF and accumulation?

38/24 downtown Winston Salem. Cloudy

Can anyone remember a really crazy snowfall gradient, within one county, in the Piedmont/Triad area? Looking at the latest NAM maps, if to verify, would be some wild cutoffs somewhere near Forsyth or Guilford county... Thanks

Would you include the Triad as part of the lee side in this setup? Or a bit further West in the true foothills...

We have been right on the edge of the front all day. We were about 60 degrees in Winston until 4am or so, then dropped to mid 40's in less than 2 hours. Climbed just slightly up to around 49-50 degrees just in the last hour. Amazing how the most severe cells came right up just to our south, less than 10 miles, then pushed east. Forsyth County was actually tornado warned earlier but the radar indicated rotation was JUST south in Davie County. Closest lighting strike though was less than 2 miles, lots of thunder today. Dangerous day but extremely interesting to learn from as a novice.

I'm always impressed by the cold-air wedge east of Apps. Always seems to over-perform and hang longer than modeled. This was a tough one to nail down W-E orientation setup...

Crazy temperature gradient between Winston-Salem/Greensboro and as close by as Asheboro area. Mid 40s here in Winston and hovering 60 only 20 miles away. Just another ingredient we don't need in the Piedmont...

Ok now we got some white rain here. 60/40 R/S mix I’d say. Nice to see a little snow TV

Just light rain in Winston downtown...

Agreed. The problem really hasn’t been cold of course, just wet! Our club has good drainage and still been sloppy, cart path only.

Every year about this time I’m torn between wanting big snowstorm and warm enough to golf. The struggle is real. At least some mood flakes would be nice.

Driving from Winston Salem to DC this morning, going to take 29 route: Greensboro-Lynchburg-Charlottesville-DC. Expecting to see different light precip types. Will try to mPing and post obs. Flizzard here at the moment.

Let’s have this thing exist at D4 range. Then I’m in.

Looking at CC on doppler, first time I ever remember being south of the west to east oriented sleet line...and its snow falling. Back and forth snow/sleet but super interesting. Using KFCX site and location is downtown Winston-Salem.

All three falling at once in Winston near downtown. Even mix id say. Slushy on car tops just a little

Might go snow chasing northbound from Winston on Weds AM. Figure I’ll need at least 50-60 miles.

I lived in Montclair 92-97. Parents were there until 2015. Was always amazed with difference in snow totals and p-type between there and even Manassas, let alone further towards Haymarket/Gainesville. Driving up and down 234 conditions would change so fast.

Well, back edge of precip entering Forsyth county. No flakes in Winston, just wet and low 40s. Pretty cool shot though on LWX CC radar in Washington DC. R/S line moving NW to SE as we speak across the city.

Sticking with over/under of just a trace at KGSO. Leaning the under. Like the Super Bowl (31-21)
