An old friend, "bozart farm" from other boards once labeled it "blizzarding biscuits" during one March when we had humongous flakes.

Still snowing at a medium pace here.

I’m under 40-45 dBz and it’s all snow. Getting absolutely obliterated rn lol, visibility dropping fast. One of the best snow bands I’ve personally ever been in

The last couple of frames on the radar the heavy band that has been over southern Union county is showing signs of backing up to a more SW to NE orientation. That should continue with these banding features now with the coastal beginning to take over.
im kinda doubting my flurries will come to pass

Just looked.outside and the snow has picked up again. Looks like some bigger flakes now.

The area between FAY and New Bern is gonna be ground zero for this deathband I feel based on the radar trends.
Looks like business is picking up here again, so time for another Jeb Walk.

Light snow falling, about 0.75” of snow here

This thing is all but over for us in the Charlotte area. Maybe an hour of light snow and it's a wrap based on radar returns.
I agree. I might back that up to the west some just based on what is falling right now

Yeah I picked up a dusting in about 10 mins, that 10-15 mins under that band was some of the heaviest snow I’ve ever seen around here
This one is just about finished here. Late pivot isn’t going to help the upstate. That makes about 12 hours of moderate/heavy snow I’ve seen in the month of February. I ain’t mad. Good luck to everybody east of me. It’s been fun

Yeah it figures. Most models had that running along highway 64 about 30 miles to my north for numerous runs and now its gonna verify 30 miles to my south. Still its snowing after a dumpster fire of a winter so its a win in my books.
Checkout the difference. Taylorsville NC looking north into southern Wilkes County at the Brushy MTNS.

Switched back to sleet now, lol may have generated a little too much diabatic heating in the mid levels with that nasty band

Moderate snow with some wind
I look outside and it’s puking snow again, DGZ must be low to a point where the radar is not finding it, kinda like drizzle that don’t show up
While it looks bleak on the radar, right now, I don't know if I would call this over quite yet. Especially if you're east of I-77. There is still moisture to the south of us. If that low bombs, it could easily dump here again. We really just have to wait and see.
Could it be the deform band that was modeled?

We got one more dance ,late Feb first few days of March. Saddle up and be ready.
Nah, this happens a lot with departing snow bands where sometimes it’ll snow a bit after it’s passed on radar due to the DGZ lowering at the end of the storm

Yeah, I guess it’s a possibility, but more often than not it doesn’t really pan out. The cold was about 4-5 hours too late, otherwise we’d have a good 4 inches on the ground imo.
That makes sense. Living here in a CAD region, I have seen very little precip on radar, but it'll be a very steady, heavy drizzle or light rain. Was hoping for that deformation band though. Time will tell, I guess.

Measured 1.75" of snow on the back deck. Around an inch in the yard.

Can someone explain the science behind why it didn’t snow much at all in upstate sc? It was cold enough, colder than when we got that surprise snow a few weeks back. What is it that keeps us from getting a good one? What would the perfect setup have to be?
Still snowing steadily, everything looks much more coated

2" on ground here and continuing.

Got around two inches here. Still have snow falling for another hour or so. A nice storm that takes the fail off of this winter.

I definitely think I made the right decision by coming to Fayetteville instead of staying in Charlotte, all they saw there was about a dusting, I already have a heavy dusting (0.3) here and counting w/ several hours to go.
A gazillion flakes falling too bad they're so small, am approaching 2.5 though

Chris Justice hasn’t done to well as chief metrologist. I’m not sure anyone saw 1-2 inches in upstate sc. maybe someone up in Spartanburg. Anyone get any accumulations in upstate sc?

Got a little more than 1.5".
Going to go ahead and bump winter up to a D.

If anything, what happened in places ike Upstate SC and Charlotte are why TV mets are so hesitant with their accumulation predictions. The models overestimated accum in these areas.
Yeah...well...we...meh... (congrats)
But the HRRR was wrong and even sucked in the SPC, I was dead center their MD, that didn't pan out too well.

I’ve got almost an inch on the top of my grill, but you’re definitely going to get underneath something bigger in my opinion. We had a nice burst around 5:15 pm and that’s what gave us the majority of what we have now.
