Whats left of that band from RNK down to Stuart will drop almost an inch Buddy. Hang in there. Front half is virga and then the hammer drops.
-
You're going to net at least a half inch. @BornAgain13 you're gonna get almost an inch out of this band. Everything in Stuart is completely covered and it is still coming down hard. Headed your way!
-
Again a surprise, snowing hard in Kernersville too. Already a car topper here and covering the grass as well. Here today, gone tomorrow, but a nice surprise for many.
-
Very impressive blowing snow squall in Stuart. Ground is nearly completely covered already. Has to be at least 1/4" in the last 20 minutes. Edit - looking at the national radar loop this system looks like a decaying tropical system. It almost has an eye! LOL. Oh what could have been.
-
Surprisingly it is hammering snow in Stuart atm. Ground covering quickly there on the security cams.
-
Looks like a sleet and flurry mix here in Kernersvile atm. Melting on the deck.
-
Sleeting hard at the farm in Stuart. Looks like the Triad missed the snow completely.
-
So it looks like the radar returns are nearly 100% accurate....no virga. So a quick 1/2" looks quite likely with this initial finger. Good stuff!
-
Curious, still snowing?
-
Ignoring the early success in the foothills, I think ILMRoss said it earlier...something just feels off with this setup. It doesnt have a normal CAD look and it certainly doesnt appear robust enough to sustain into tomorrow deep into NC. I'm just not seeing a ton of ice with this tomorrow across the Triad.
-
This makes the most sense of anything I've seen yet. DTs first call map is going to need some major modifications.
-
Interesting to see Blacksburg modify their storms totals to a much wider spread. I have to believe they are trying account for elevation variances across such a broad area. Now says 1-6" snow. Thats the most vague forecast I think I've ever seen, but who can blame them! Sunday is going to be an absolute disaster for the state line areas into Southern VA.
-
Definitely on the low side of recent model runs, but they still have a day to adjust.
-
Is it odd that we are 30 hours out from what could be a major ice storm as modeled for about a million people across the i40 corridor and RAH hasnt said a peep? Did I miss it? I saw the post where they were "underwhelmed", but still. There are a lot of unexpecting folks that would need more time to prepare for power outages than just one day.
-
Wow, they went all in too. 6" plus some ice! Dont think that will resonate across the foothills. For example, my farm is at 1,400' elevation in Patrick County but Meadows of Dan on the opposite side of the county is over 3,000'. Literally 15 miles difference. Tough to forecast this area with "catch-all" language.
-
Yeah, I'm headed up tomorrow to check the gennie. Stuart could be on the southern end of the snow, or pinkies deep in ice/sleet. Kind of have to prepare for all of it. Not expecting much here in the Triad outside of some glazing. Certainly looks cold enough at the onset for some accretions.

Posters in the mid-atlantic forum. We wont have any electricity to post about it anyway.
-
We had some first calls out at this range for the Thursday event. Anybody ready to take a stab at Saturday night?
-
That looks delicious! Valentine's Day bombogenesis....make it happen! We seriously need a better February for this subforum or psychiatric help will be required.
-
Well there goes a perfectly good weekend in the Triad......(installs new chainsaw blade)
-
Dude, you're in ROCKINGHAM. Did you ever expect to see a flake yesterday? You're just burning gas at midnight.
-
That was very weird to watch. Same in Stuart. We got the flip and then poof! Nothing.
-
Peace out. Gotta sleep. Hope everyone nets at least a quick ground cover!
-
Finally cracking 40° at the farm in Stuart. Steady rain for about an hour now.
-
Well, you win first report I suppose. Congrats and enjoy it!!
