snowbird1230 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The main thread is depressing. Major forecast bust so far downeast. Heavy rain in Raleigh and snow totals lowered to 2".. Im afraid the entire forecast may bust. Great snow rates now but the backend looks to be moving through. If the models missed downeast, I'm afraid they may miss the "backbuilding" that has been forecasted. Lets cross our fingers and enjoy while it last.

Looking at future cast on something not sure what, towards the end it back builds like crazy. Will be worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be worth watching. The HRRR has done a pretty good job so far and it's bound and determined we backbuild significantly. Tacks me and you another 7-9 on even on the 3z run. Rates starting to pick up here. Noticeable difference between Boone and home on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The last couple of hours have been great. Started with under an inch when it started from that first band and just measured 3.5. About time to take the 4-wheeler out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainforrest Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Up to 7 inches guys. Looking at the radar y'all think I might squeeze out 3 more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's still coming down here and we might squeeze out 3 more. I'm trying to make a run at 10 now since I think 8 is a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still tiny flakes here but absolutely dumping them. 4z HRRR still tacking another 7 on. Fingers crossed for double digits! I'll be happy with 6-8 though after what we were expecting just 3 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 No 4-wheeler but took the dogs for a long walk. What a beautiful night. I also noticed that the ratios are getting higher. This is dryer snow that was falling a couple of hours ago. Still just pouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yep it is just dumping! Snow has gone to a higher ratio snow. We picked up another quick inch already. Off to bed. if the moisture back builds a lot of us will see well over a foot of snow tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Up to 3.5 now. About 3/4"/hr rates the last bit. Heavier returns about to move in on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Looks like the storm is trying to backbuild but not sure it will really get enough going. Think I'll be lucky to get 5 inches honestly. Goodnight and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
