WidreMann Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I will be shocked to get to 3 inches.I'm still waiting on an inch...have been for three years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm still waiting on an inch...have been for three years now. It really is an amazing thing how hard it is to get accumulating snowfall anymore. It would be very interesting to understand how the models busted so bad on qpf. It would help us to set expectations for the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECUPiratewx Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm still waiting on an inch...have been for three years now. That's what she said. No but seriously, the line has definitely stopped it's movement. I'm hearing that WRAL says another 3 for Raleigh. Good luck to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I will be shocked to get to 3 inches. I would be surprised if you don't get 3", I got an inch, I might luck into another inch, will see. The HRRR was very good, has us ending around 1am, RAP has us ending at 5am and that will bust, 1am will be close. I bet we get around 0.25" of precip. Burger was right, the Euro handled this storm the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger was right, the Euro handled this storm the best. I'm guessing I have, being very generous, maybe 1.5 and it's been snowing decently since 7ish. If it snows at this same rate for 3 more hours (questionable) I might get close. Radar is right at 20 dbz. I'm guessing that is around 1/4 inch per hour or so.

rxwxunc Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Looks like a mesoscale low forming north east of Albemarle per NWS radar out of RAH. Can someone verify? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Updated 21z SREF Plumes for down in Charlotte Verification Time KGSP Update 28JAN14 9:09pm can at least speak for mby - they were just about spot on with that forecast. right at about 2.5 here and within the range they had me in. (measurement range in didnt vary a whole lot. not much wind just powdery snow) considering how this storm acted ( went to be bummed last night that things were looking not good for even a dusting) with the final runs last night, and then waking up to virga and confusion in the forecasts it wasnt until it started over coming the dry air and reaching the ground and i saw radar lit up back to alabama that i realized a couple of inches were likely. i do feel bad for those in the infamous se screw zones. we have all been there, but i guess down both sides of I85 it was a big over achiever. i will admit after this storm, and a couple in 2010 and 2011, the RAP starting about the day before a se winter event has done really well in this general area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMA1973 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The early precip was to the South, East and West of Raleigh all night/afternoon LOL. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Looks like back-building starting on the radar. It's not filled in yet, but it's trying. This lines up with cooling cloud tops to the SW. The colder cloud tops are moving a hair north of NE, which may be enough to keep the Triangle in the game for a few more hours.

10below Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Is it me or is that precip field starting to move at a more northern pace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovingGulfLows Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Pretty amazing CLT and ATL will beat RDU, again. Storm over performed for the NW fringe areas of this storm. It also overperformed for the Central Alabama area....even Birmingham got a decent snow(1-2) when they weren't forecasted for anything. It seems to have underperformed for those in Central NC. I had a feeling it would. Crazy to think my 2.5-3 inches will be more than those forecasted in NC to get 5+. I think I got extremely lucky with heavier bands training over my area constantly.

NCsandhills Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Still snowing lightly in Fayetteville. There is maybe 3/4 inch on the ground. It took so long to changeover, it finally came at 9:45. TWC says 1.3" so far, but that doesnt look right to me. at least not IMBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Pretty amazing CLT and ATL will beat RDU, again. Heck, Asheville might beat RDU with this one and models had us with less than inch until a day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanskip Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 For those of you downstream of me, it's interesting to note the conveyer belt is still running through New Orleans with a persistent line of precip headed ENE. This was not modeled by evening RAP runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercane Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Interesting to note that with the most recent RDU airport reading of 18F with snow, I'm pretty sure this is the coldest recorded snow for RDU since Feb 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 People are going about their normal routines in Atlanta. The interstate was packed and people were driving like maniacs. I could see a potential traffic nightmare getting ready to unfold for Atlanta. What an unbelievable day in Atlanta. Anyone from Atlanta who knows much about weather could see this coming. I just spent 8 hours getting from Norcross to marietta. I had to travel the north side of 285, my total trip one way is about 26 miles. What a saw was unreal. It took me 6 hours to go 20 miles. During that time I saw people walking down the side of the interstate in packs. There were cars just left on the side of the road everywhere, hundreds. I got within six miles of my house and the terrain is hilly so it was impassable in my vehicle at that point along with the massive gridlock from people attempting the hills. I got out and walked six miles in about two hours. All I had was a pair of jeans, sneakers, sweater, and wool coat. What I was missing was a hat and gloves. So I walked 4 miles without a hat, stopped at an open gas station, bought a hat and a hot coffee and took off for the other two miles. Within one mile of my house the terrain is very steep both up and down the hills. There were about 50 cars parked there along with a few accidents that people didn't move. So there were quite a few of my neighbors who had to walk about a mile due to the access begin blocked without a four wheel drive. I will remember today for the rest of my life and tallied enough oh **** moments to last me through till 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
