stinky Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wsoc's snow totals crack me up. 4-6 inches in CLT as a total? No way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm placing my bets that Lookout ends up with the most in GA. My QPF has been less than half of what the NAM/GFS/Canadian showed...unless I get redeemed somehow...but radar does not look like it will cooperate.

jrips27 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 MBY has gotten crushed 8, maybe 9 inches. Haven't checked since I wiped my board a couple hours ago. Fixing to get dumped shortly! Thats awesome!!! between 6.75"-7" here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 light snow here now waiting for those heavier bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, I wake up to 4.5 inches, It must have snowed like crazy. Radar looks a little choppy though. I'm at Warren Wilson College launching weather balloons and I can tell you we are not nearly as high. Just went out to measure a moment ago and only have 2.5". Seems like we should be picking back up again a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaincharlotte Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have not seen the interstates covered with snow since 1988 in the south. Amazing to watch The intersection of I-77 and I-85 be completely white. So cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 He has competition to his south this time. I agree. Radar is prime right now for yall's areas. This makes the third straight snow storm where amounts are higher to my south. You will probably double my end total. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 AVL looks to be getting nailed right now, via live updates on WLOS. That banding should be working back into the foothills areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Czar Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just woke up. Its pouring snow and I measured just over 7 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalba Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Larry from WCNC just showed the radar with lightning strikes showing up near Columbia, SC. Getting very interesting out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just got up and it's snowing moderately at the moment. I have almost an inch on the ground from what I can tell looking out on the deck. Currently 28 deg I hope somebody gets their foot of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJShay12 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I had to run to the store here in Matthews and the roads are horrible. My tire tracks were covered in less than 20 minutes. Toward CLT but plan on getting stuck here.... roads area already a mess and with ice on top of it tonight this place will be shut down. CLT will def get more snow that RAH so that is where I would head if you are serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good dump with those returns, but is obviously enhanced by the sleet. Roughly 50/50 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently 28 deg I hope somebody gets their foot of snow Wow, is it really that much of a difference between Lake Murray and CAE? I knew Northern Lexington was going to get thumped, but not as hard as this looks to be in the end. It's probably over 2" an hour easily.. and looks like since my house is towards the North part, we will squeak by here with minimal ice reading the meso discussion.

DaculaWeather Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We're over 7", don't know the exact amount yet. Now we have big flakes falling, we are in the path of the thundersnow, have the video camera ready! It is so beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeznado Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ironic (and I bit annoying- that I would have to only driven 15 miles instead of 90 to likely see the same if not more snow. Bad forecasting will do that.... Maybe 5" here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaleighWx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 UGH, WRAL just showed their detailed doppler image and there is a SNOW HOLE over Raleigh... ugghh... There will always be a snow hole in these situations. The radar beam is tilted at a 0.5 degree angle, therefore away from the radar site in Garner you start to rise in altitude. Thus away from the radar you are picking up virga and not snow at the surface. Since Raleigh is very close to the NEXRAD site it will not show returns over the county until snow is actually reaching the ground, thus you have the apperance of a snow hole but iit really isnt. Check the surface obs, the closest snow reports are down near Fort Brag and Fayetteville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
