Brick Tamland Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Maybe so... would be interesting as Thunderstorms looked primed for end of next week Just saying we had a big snowstorm followed by an earthquake. Acctually, I think when the earthquake in VA hit there was a hurricane and severe storms all in the same week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 This takes me back. I taught in Floyd, VA in the 70s. Spent the winter of 77 there. We went back to school 1 day after Christmas and that was it for Jan. It was also the location of well over 30" of snow the last couple days of April in 1979, a story I related here before. Floyd always seems to jackpot with the setup we had for this last storm. This time was no exception. Close to 30". http://www.wdbj7.com/news/local/floyd-county-digs-out-from-nearly-30-inches/24492966#.Uv7DOs0hV9Y.facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So what screwed everybody in the last storm? Gulf convection? Warm nose stronger than progged? Not enough moisture in the snow growth region? Storm not bombing out? All of the above? Just goes to show how many different things have to work out perfectly to get a huge snowstorm. A true Miller A is easier, I guess, but we don't really get those much anymore. I wonder why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But switched to ZR and never really had any front end snow, just some IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I think it was the warm nose. I was pretty close to predicted QPF. But switched to ZR and never really had any front end snow, just some IP. Just to clarify per Euro/consensus: ATL and even into the northern burbs near you weren't supposed to get snow until the last portion of the 2nd wave, which is when the snow fell. The 850's were always progged to be in the +1 to +3 range in the northern burbs. That tends to be mainly IP territory when in a wedge assuming the precip. isn't very light though there was some ZR, too. I haven't found any sig. ATL area snow that fell when the 850's were generally in the +1 to +3 range. The bulk was often IP assuming decent falls of precip. and a good wedge. Even though I got an impressive amount of IP in two waves (most since 1/88..~2.5"), it was actually a little lighter than I had expected due to some R/ZR for the first few hours. Otherwise, I would have had the 3-4" of IP that I was expecting. Together with the ~1.5" of snow, I estimate ~4" total IP/SN plus ~1/10" of ice accrural, a major storm overall and the biggest for me in four years. The Euro clown maps should always be thrown out/ignored as they ignore the atmosphere above the ground. Ttoal qpf was ~1", which while normally quite impressive and more than enough for a major event, wasn't the 1.5" predicted by the last Euro right before it started.

franklin NCwx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Stupid RGEM!! so eastern nc is 500% climo central nc 150-200% above climo(except for brick who averages 70 inches) and the mtns below climo. Rule of thumb here, if central nc is going to do well snow wise with a storm, it will not be a big one for the mtns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like 150%-200% here in the east we average 4-6" and have had 11" IMBY between all 4 events that have covered the ground here. Edit: there are parts of eastern NC though that are 500% or even better lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Central NC is not 150-200% above average, either. Greensboro and Raleigh are right about average at the moment. Charlotte is higher, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think RDU is still below climo, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now. Pack would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 You'll get plastered in March. I think RDU is still below climo, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now. Pack would know. Yes we are below climo for the season. CLT, HKY and GSO are at climo for the past 5 years now, RDU is about 68% after this last storm, unofficially. I believe PGV received more snow than RDU this week for about the 47th time in a row, maybe more, they had 4" on Tuesday and I think they got 1-2" on Wed. Need the final map from RAH and I will update my SE snow totals thread. So we will be the only location on that list below climo for the past 5 years, much below normal at that. CLT and GSO I believe are over 10" on the season, will confirm when final map released. It's been 10 years since our last 10"+ season total which is a record. We still suck...

strongwxnc Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sitting on 3.75" here. A little under our yearly avg at 5 ( I think it is 5"). So, still holding out hope for another system. so eastern nc is 500% climo central nc 150-200% above climo(except for brick who averages 70 inches) and the mtns below climo. Rule of thumb here, if central nc is going to do well snow wise with a storm, it will not be a big one for the mtns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSP hasn't had 10 inches since 1993. Between 59/60 and 92/93 it has double digits 14 times. And prior to that it had double digits every few years. Snowfall has really declined here in the upstate.
