wncsnow Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 12 minutes ago, NorthHillsWx said: The issue is that without an established Arctic airmass it simply got too warm before start time. This wasn’t a situation where it started at 40 degrees and the wet bulb was 30. It was 40 with a wet bulb of 39. Upper and mid levels are fine, hence all the snow mix, but it is taking too much time to cool lower levels. Cold chasing moisture fail mode #1. Accumulation south of border looks minimal at best. Even Richmond struggled just north of main band though they are snowing good now. My cousin there said they have less than 1” even though it’s been snowing since 8 am. Only areas getting heaviest rates are getting big totals and there is a quick drop off on either side. Central and eastern NC could see some accumulation with some coastal development like the HRRR has been throwing out but this main area of precip isn’t going to produce much for anyone not in Virginia Define big totals? I think 3-4 inches (only in the grass) could be the big winner with this system. Timing was bad. Middle of the day, rates weren't super heavy, weak system. I'm sure those who got a nice snow globe day are happy. I would be too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max totals forecast in warning area were 3-5”. This wasn’t ever going to be bigger than that, it was a borderline warning event in Va 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullioz Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago After hovering around 32.2° all day, the temperature has finally dropped below freezing to 31.8°. I measured 1" of snow at 1pm, but it doesn't look like much has accumulated since then despite the continuation of steady light to moderate snow. Looking at radar, once this steady snow ends, it looks like flurries and snow showers will continue into the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG_Slick Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago In summary, we had snow for about 3 hours with a burst of heavier snow at the end - between 2 and 2:30 pm. Nothing stuck to the ground or even elevated surfaces. Still technically snowing very lightly now. Better than nothing though... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKY_WX Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 32.3 here in Franklinton. Light snow right now. Has been off and on light snow. Got a dusting currently. WIll be interesting to see how long we can keep it going this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Additional QPF. Raleigh may end up with half an inch or so this evening 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullioz Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago An additional 0.8" of snow accumulated since my last measurement of 1" at 1pm for a total of 1.8". It's still snowing lightly with occasional moderate bursts, so I might make it to 2" before all is said and done. 31.3°/31.0° 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Raleigh is going to zero out on accumulation unless there is an additional burst tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed- that map is suspect. We have only gotten 0.06” for the event that’s telling me we have more than that to go when the back edge already moved out. Just random flurries now. No clue where that would come from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Per trail cams it is accumulating in Louisburg finally. Cousin reports in Richmond they have 3” with plenty more to come. Not a bust there like I thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS definitely failed this one The good news is I never expected much from this but I was hopeful for coating. Did think someone in wake would see 1/2” to 1” based on CAMs but they pulled the rug mostly on that yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn’t ever going to be bigger than that, it was a borderline warning event in Va Looking at some of the early snow totals from the warned area in Virginia, it appears like many locations were able to meet warning critera. With a few hours to go before the snow ends, some may exceed what was expected by quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue where that would come from The wrap around light snow is starting to pivot into wake county. May only affect the Northern part of the county and will be relatively minor but I think will lead to some light accumulation in spots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago NE NC looks like a good bet for some good totals with the temps and sun getting right. Wouldn’t shock me to see 3-4” around Roanoke rapids looking at radar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
