NCSNOW Posted January 8 The ULL opened up, was modeled to always be a risk at this juncture of hapening. We can thank the confluence getting screwed up in the NE. Should close back off this afternoon and deepen as it exits the coast. Look for things to fire up for a couple hours for mostly everyone. Supose to get a 10-15 mb drop into the 990's. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tullioz Posted January 8 Despite having good returns overhead for the past 30 minutes or so, only a random flake or two has been making it to the ground so far. Current temp: 38.3 Dew point 30.1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gman Posted January 8 It looks like the upper level low is beginning to pick up some good moisture. The radar is really filling in in north Georgia and northwestern S.C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullCityWx Posted January 8 Gut feeling is the band this evening overperforms for someone, probably somewhere between US 1 and I-95. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

landof2rivers Posted January 8 Sorry for sideways pic, it was a miracle I figured out to add the image. That is looking towards The Cottages off 105 then beyond that is Howard’s Knob. 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaryWx Posted January 8 Update from RAH NWS .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 1230 PM Friday... Forecast reasoning remains relatively unchanged from the previous forecast, with main forecast changes to total snow accumulations thanks largely to a lack of measurable snow as of yet. The back edge of the precipitation shield was sharply eroded late last night-early this morning and did not allow sufficient precipitation rates to overcome the marginally cold boundary layer to support for wet-bulb cooling over the Piedmont, so mainly rain resulted until about 1230Z over the Triad, when the visibility subsequently decreased to between 3/4SM and 1 1/2SM for a short time in a briefly heavier band of snow. The p-type has since changed back to rain as precipitation intensity has decreased. That will continue to be the case until precipitation intensity increases with deeper ascent and the arrival of the deformation band now over wrn NC, which is expected over the wrn Piedmont late this afternoon-early evening, then ewd across the remainder of cntl NC early tonight. Given that no accumulations were observed this morning, and it is unlikely any of consequence will occur until the deformation band and west to east change over to snow arrives, after dark for all but the NW Piedmont, previously forecast snow accumulations have generally been halved - 1-2 in the Warning area to a coating to an inch in the Advisory area, with localized higher amounts still possible. Will allow the current headlines to continue and reassess changes with the main afternoon forecast package. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d have pulled the plug on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olafminesaw Posted January 8 You can see the deform band start to form/fill in. Hoping for a few hours of moderate snow at this point Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthHillsWx Posted January 8 From friend in Blowing Rock early this morning. About 4” in these pics and they’ve picked up a couple more since then. A good spot to be today 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kvegas-wx Posted January 8 Dropping the hammer at the farm in Stuart VA. Will easily give me a dusting there over the next 30 minutes. Big ole flakage. EDIT - coming down in buckets now, ground going white quick. Too bad I have to watch through my security cams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how these things always work out. Def have a solid inch on grass and building. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
