Hope some our friends further south can sneak out a quick dusting/inch. Can you post the HRRR and RGEM? Thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCSNOW Posted December 10, 2018 Mount Mitchell had 34 inches from the storm. Think Boone was 21 officially. Both need to be confirmed. Amazing storm. I could get use to white ground 3 months out of the year. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solak Posted December 10, 2018 NWS RaleighVerified account @NWSRaleigh 1m1 minute ago A light batch of mixed wintry precip may develop east of I-95 this evening. Amounts will be light, but even a light coating of snow/sleet on the roads can create travel difficulties. If traveling in this area this evening be alert for quickly changing road conditions. #ncwx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, not going to happen. Not sure about column temps but surface is 37 here. Looks like a pretty big batch so could be a few inches if all snow, but I think all its gonna do is wash away the little remaining snow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have some snow mixing in with the rain here currently and 36.5.....after a high of 42. Despite being totally saturated and having drizzle/heavy mist all day...Temp dropped 4 degrees in about an hour after the sun set and the precip that is originating upstairs actually started falling. Temps at 950mb to the surface are as marginal as they can get here so doubt it does any more than this before it ends but I think a full changeover is possible over toward greenwood/columbia since it's slightly colder there just off the ground per 3km nam and hrrr (if it lasts long enough). Been watching it all day but was scared to say anything out of jinxing it lol....sad. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iceagewhereartthou Posted December 11, 2018 Wow, checked radar again and that's it for me. It went from east to south on a dime. Some one could definitely score later tonight...won't be us though. This just wasn't our storm, but hopefully we'll get something a little better later on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solak Posted December 11, 2018 As of 915 PM Monday... Yet another shortwave disturbance rotating through the base of the mid/upper trough in place across the SE US will bring one last brief bout of wintry precipitation to NC Sandhills and southern coastal plain counties over the next 3 to 5 hours. Radar returns have really blossomed, within the developing mid-level deformation band setting across SE portions of the area. Snow is also now being reported by several metar sites in the area, along with a handful of public reports. Though it will brief, forcing will sufficiently strong to produce liquid equivalent amounts ranging from a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch, the highest amounts across Sampson, Wayne, and far eastern Cumberland counties through 06z. Using a 5/6:1 snow liquid ratio, could see a stripe of a quarter(dusting) to half an inch of snow across those far SE counties. Shortly after 06z, precip will start to push east, and out of the area, as impressive low-level dry air advection spreads in from the west. For the remainder of the forecast area, cannot rule out flurries as far as west as Wake County, otherwise expect NW to SE clearing late tonight. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downeastnc Posted December 11, 2018 rain mixed with big IP and mangled snowflakes...starting to see more mangled flakes so hopefully it switches over in the next hr, if we went all snow with how heavy the precip is I could see a quick 1-2" type event.....need it to switch soon though should end in 3-4 more hrs....

SnowDawg Posted December 11, 2018 Well now that it is officially over, I ended up with 3.32 in qpf total. Problem is the overwhelming majority of it was rain or sleet. This may be as close as I have come before on hitting the big one, a degree or so at the surface and a degree or so aloft and I’d be measuring in feet. All in all was a fun one to track though.
