Stovepipe Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Just had a pine tree limb snap and fall on my fence. Snow still mod but smaller flakes. We've peaked and are on our way out. It was a good run. May end up with 3 or 3.5 in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossthread Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 20 degree drop in the past hour, from mid-70's to now a chilly 55.0 & Rain Near term /through tonight/...as of 2 PM Thursday...wrapped up middle level cyclone now speedingoff to the northeast in central Georgia with the surface cyclonejust ahead.Broad deformation zone forcing in the 700-500mb layer via the GFSshould begin to light up the area quickly late this afternoon withthe best of this forcing moving across between 0000 and 0600.Thermal profiles have warmed slightly with the latest guidance mostnotably on the NAM where the warming has manifested itself innumerical guidance lows of an increase of some four degrees. BUFKITprofiles show little chance for ice nuclei in the clouds from about0600 Onward when thermal profiles might support freezingprecipitation. Still...with the inherited forecast advertising alittle mix...didn/T want to remove entirely. I did use a thresholdtemperature of 37 degrees to add a mix of snow and ice pellets from0600 Onward. This worked out perfectly with a slight decrease incoverage from the previous forecast. Otherwise...continued to finetune probability of precipitation for the afternoon hours as the coastal areas begrudginglyhold onto sunny skies and highs in the 70s.&&Short term /Friday through Saturday night/...as of 2 PM Thursday...winter is back. It will be a chilly andbrisk start to the day Friday as the pressure gradient will remainrather tight between strong high pressure across the Ohio andTennessee valleys and low pressure intensifying southeast of New England.The gradient will slacken through the afternoon and windgusts...up to 25 to 30 miles per hour...will diminish. Chilly temperatures Fridaymorning...especially in comparison to recent days...coupled withthe wind...will make it feel as if it were in the middle 20s to lower30s. Even with bright sunshine...temperatures are not expected to risequickly as 850 mb temperatures will start the day just below zero degree.Previous thinking has not changed and will forecast highs below 50degrees in most places...with middle 40s most common. Goodradiational cooling is expected Friday night as high pressure reachesthe area. Clear skies and virtually calm wind will allow evening temperaturesto quickly drop as dewpoints during this time will be well down inthe 20s. Overnight lows are expected to reach the middle and upper20s with some lower 20s where radiational cooling maximizeslongest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanskip Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Still 42 in Danville, 39 in Mt. Airy, 38 in Winston, 39 in GSO. #notseeingit The next few hours will tell the story. If we don't start see a changeover in the Triad by 8, forecasts are in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Basically, this is how things unfolded in Kingsport. We left the hospital w/ our newborn(#4). Heavy sleet and snow were following. The mulch began showing some signs of accumulation. Ten minutes later and one mile from the house, the roads were snow covered and a half inch of snow was on the ground. Got in the house. Over a ten minute period, saw three flashes of lightning followed by three rolling claps of thunder(not transformers, way too loud). Snow fell from 2:00 - 5:30(approximately) and we have five inches of snow on the ground. Folks on FB in Kingsport have similar amounts, less as you go southeast. Basically, all snow has stopped. Roads are snow covered. The wind is blowing to 15-20 mph in the treetops. I'll post pics later. W/ high winds tonight and snow covered trees, power will become an issue. Best wishes to the rest of you in the path of the low. Honestly, I thought we were washed up when looking at the RAP model...then it started showing the deformation band about two hours before the event.

Disc Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Building the pine tree fell on seems okay for now. Snow is still pounding and trees are popping and crackling all around.
