HKY_WX Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Very happy for you -- you stuck to your guns on this one -- send a little my way .... Thx, it's odd how some locations are rain like big frosty, you, and ncjoaquin. I can't help but think this escarpment shadow has something to do with it.

jburns Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Bright lightning flash just now. Surprising because usually you don't see it that brightly. Either the clouds are thinning or the snow is about to slack off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBUWX23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 or its because the flash of lightning was rvery close to you. Also, there is no dry slot as the deformation band is pivoting eastward quickly. Bright lightning flash just now. Surprising because usually you don't see it that brightly. Either the clouds are thinning or the snow is about to slack off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I hear no thunder, but I do here the drone of emergency sirens. Heavy snow now, I'd say. Not much wind, but bucket-loads of snow are falling from the heavens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Radar has me concerned. unless I can get under the heavy stuff to my sw it's game over for me. Fixing to hit a dry slot. Comma head looks like its braking in half literally. Must be the ull finally opening back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Folks, some of the precip is being missed by the longer portions of the radar beams. There is very little dry slot and the deformation band over the western portion of nc is taking over now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilgore Trout Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 We had 2 really good snow years, but looks like we are back to the pattern that existed before those 2 good years. I still have snow, but it's very light. Glad for my fellow NC, TN, VA people who are getting snow! Unfortunately for the AVL folks it looks like the deformation band jumped over the mountains, like it has often been known to do and is really becoming better established over the piedmont. For those in Upstate SC though, this is actually perhaps some good news and as the 850 hPa temps continue to crash down, there may be a meaningful period of snowfall across the higher elevations of the upstate (1000 ft and above). We'll have to see how things evolve since most areas in upstate SC still have temps in the low 40's. I have seen this happen on several occasions. Actually, I am having a hard time remembering a time when the deformation zone worked out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCBlizzard Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 37.3 here now. A little snow mixing with the rain. I've given up hope of any type of accumulation here. Now I'm just hoping to see a little heavy snow at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 And now my thunder tally stands at three with another long boom. Keep in mind Triad-area folks that we don't have any radar stations nearby, so it can be a bit of a crap-shoot with snowstorms and radar...
