Jet Stream Rider Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This is actually the second time I've seen snow on my birthday in Charleston. In 2003 we had about 1" of snow on the ground. Weird, huh? Wow! It was a good event to get snow flying in lots of coastal areas too. Yeah, and are going to say we were hugging the snowiest model or whatever, but RAH had forecasted 6-10"+ immediately before the storm, too. It is what it is, though. It was fun. I was surprised by that as well. Huge hit midatlantic and even s New England. Maybe needs some analysis in the discussion thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think snowstorm2011 or please snow for Marta , or whatever, got more snow than most around RAH! I think I saw you post more accumulation than central NC. Kind of an odd storm. Probably the slp track and all the waa knocked the totals down for much of NC.

Some folks are calling their storm a disappointment because they didn't get 2' yet, LOL. Must be a nice problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Lol yeah, I figued your area was golden for 7-9 though. lower totals across all but western NC. But a wide range of coverage with at least token flurries south and east to the coast. Check out the crazy comma head on water vapor loop! http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GSSLOOPS/ecwv.html Alos looks like thunder snow about to come ashore Long Island.

SnowNiner Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The Mid-Atlantic is a bit interesting right now. Some folks are calling their storm a disappointment because they didn't get 2' yet, LOL. Must be a nice problem to have. Yeah wow. With what the models showed I wished we would have had a bigger thump of snow in the beginning and more qpf during the day yesterday. But it was a nice little event, got about 2.5 inches of snow and sleet. It was essentially exactly the same as the blizzard of 96 for clt, just switch out the bit of freezing rain with a slug of sleet. Just can't really score a good snow here with Miller Bs.

LovingGulfLows Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 IMO, this event was successful for Atlanta. We were progged to get nothing 3-4 days ago. Snow for a good portion of the night and this morning. I do feel for some of the NC who got screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRVwxfan. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 DC people in the mid atlantic forum are complaining that they only got 18-19 inches of snow. Someone called the storm "disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Everyone should take a look at the radars up in the MA and NE. That's what an actual deformation band looks like. Notice how it moves (or rather, doesn't really). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone called the storm "disappointing. And some of them are claiming that the NWS crew "doesn't know how to measure snow accumulation" because it's not as high a number as they think it should be. You can't make this stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm not sure I will make it above freezing today. 31 degrees at 240 pm 37 degrees in Jacksonville, FL.

Tacoma Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yep there were a lot of breaks in the preciptation field in this storm, I really like it when there are no breaks where its a solid shield of precip. 23 here and were calling for 28, we're not going to get any higher than 23 I don't think now.

SN_Lover Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I really dont think the 28th threat will work out. Looks more like a frontal passage. Anyways, this storm wasn't too bad. Would have liked more snow but i think we all knew this was not going to be a mostly snow event for the NC Piedmont. I think I can go into the summer feeling like i at least got to see snow and sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Snow always brings out the best in Southerners. ROWAN COUNTY, N.C.-- A NC State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) Trooper is recovering after being hit by an ATV drive early Saturday morning. The trooper also fired shots to keep from being hit a second time by the driver. According to NCSHP, the incident happened around 2:00 a.m., in Rowan County, after the trooper saw the ATV driving along on NC 153 and tried to pull it over. After stopping the vehicle, which had a driver and another passenger on it, is when things got scary for the officer. The driver pulled onto Harmony Lane, located in subdivision in China Grove. The trooper got out of his patrol car and while approaching the ATV, the drive drove towards him at a high rate of speed and hit him. The driver turned the ATV around and sped towards the trooper a second time, at which time the officer pulled his gun and fired several shots in the direction of the ATV, NCSHP confirms. Both people on the ATV fled the scene. The Trooper was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Concord for treatment. His injuries are not considered life threatening. Anyone with information about this incident should call: 1-800-233-3151. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 wow. How much snow did Marietta end up getting ? It must have piled up pretty fast with temps that cold. As others stated the line dropped about an inch in short order. That's on top of the 1/2 to 1 from last night. Lithia got about an inch and Marietta more like 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it didn't get above freezing today i'm assuming none of it melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also read a story out ad CLT area , about a guy running off the road and some people came to help him, and he shot and killed one of the good samaratins!
