eyewall Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 This was one of my best local snow chases into an intense meso band in association with a storm we dubbed "the big dog" 2 years ago today. This was the early morning hours of 3/3/10. I was never able to confirm if there was in fact lightning as thunder was never heard but there were flashes that didn't appear to be transformer related.

Met1985 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Sweet video! Would be nice to see something similiar to that the next 18 to 24 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencken_Fan Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've seen about 150 snow storms in my life and am impressed by the intensity of the snowfall in your video. Because the human eye sees snowfall better than a camera does, it must have been mighty impressive to see in person! Excellent chase.

Tim in ILM Thank you and yes you are correct in the camera not capturing it nearly as well as it actually appears in person. YouTube compression is another issue as well. Thank you!

Jon Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I remember this storm made me incredibly angry IMBY and then even more mad when you posted your video! Got 0.8" when RAH said at 6pm: "...Hourly snowfall rates in excess of an inch per hour may occur in this band. Due to convective elements... there should be a high variability in snowfall totals... even from County to County. Therefore... we will give a range of 2-5 inches... but local amounts in the 6-8 inch range will be possible." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat in that spot in the traffic jam in the video for 3 hours until it was nearly daybreak. When I got back to Southern Pines there was maybe an inch on the ground. As for the totals this map is not entirely accurate. The 8" totals need to be extended into Lee County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
