packbacker Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Are you in Apex? If so, what do you mean the back edge is approaching? You got several hours to go yet. It will be very light for another hour or so, I would bet in 20 mins your rates will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncstatered21 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Reflect starting to simmer down and take on more of the classic snow banding look... Wind picking up. Downeast reporting SN mixed in N of 264 in PGV, could be a metaphysical dendrite. reflect.JPG southoftheboarder.JPG So not looking good for PGV? The front looks to be crashing from Rocky Mount so I feel hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritsnc Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I have a very light dusting on my side of town. I got out and drove about 5 -8 miles east and the difference was amazing. All of the yards were completely white, roofs white, sidewalks turning white and even the roads were starting to turn white along the edges. My church parking lot was slush as I drove through it. It was very hard driving. The flakes were so small, but there were so many that it made it very hard to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Switch from a wet snow to powder. Winds picking up. Maybe a 1 to 1.25" of wind blown snow through out the northern half- county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I have a very light dusting on my side of town. I got out and drove about 5 -8 miles east and the difference was amazing.

It was very hard driving. The flakes were so small, but there were so many that it made it very hard to see. Yeah, the flakes reminded me of the overnight portion of the January 2010 storm with how small and numerous they were. Anyways, the snow has tapered off to flurries and radar honestly looks pretty awful. Even if this is it, I got as much as I could have hoped for. I'd guestimate I got somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/4"-1/2". QPF was probably pretty good, but we "wasted" a lot as rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Got enough to turn some grassy areas white. Came down at a good moderate clip for about 30 minutes before moving off to the east. Temp presently 33º. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Going on 27 degrees and still falling. Roads are dangerous and interstates are at a crawl. Sounds like you can enjoy the evening watching it snow 60/40 rain/snow here. Almost there!! By the way, it was 10 days ago we had the severe weather here. The old wives' tale is on point.

WidreMann Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 IT's been snowing moderately for an hour and a half and we don't even have an accumulation on the grass, or the cars or on, well, anything. I've never seen it come down as fast as it has without at least dropping a dusting. NC snowstorms never cease to come up with new ways to screw us over.

I feel you on that one, it was crazy how hard it was coming down for a while. I guess I shouldn't have taken last week's dusting for granted.

VeronicaCorningstone Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hope the cold gets to Greenville before the precipitation! It will. We had rain for a few minutes but it quickly turned to snow. It's beautiful out there now...grassy surfaces, cars and deck all have a light coating, within about a 15 minute time period. Wind is picking up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widre, the temps are crashing over here. And we had the same problem until the last 20-30% of the precip. Then boom! Keep the faith..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 . Little slug prior to the band in Greene and western Pitt, mixing here, maybe 50/50, but they are wet. Good sign, hopefully we transition to dominant type once the actual band gets here in 15-20 minutes, just north of 264 heading out towards Farmville, ~ 5 miles wnw of PGV.

WidreMann Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah that reminds me of the Phantom Snowstorm before I moved last year.At least that was lighter snow during the day in mid-February, when one might expect such crap. But it's January 21st at night with really cold air just a thousand feet or so above the ground. It looks like one of this POS isothermal events, but it shouldn't be. I had concerns about the sun all day, and it looks like it did its job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
