Wintry Jan 27-28 Snow Potential Official Thread

Have a buddy that's working in roxboro this week. He said they got about 5.5. Not sure how accurate that is though

What part of Roanoke are you in? I live in the Cave Spring area and we picked up around 2 1/2 inches here. Roads were snow covered as well.

Roanoke city, lower elevation got us

Lower elevation didnt seem to impact Roanoke Rapids. They are only 150 ft !

The issue was is that we started as heavy rain and normally because of the city, the surface temp is always 2-3 degrees warmer than surrounding counties. Takes longer for that switch to occur and when it did, the yellow radar echoes were just to the south.
 
Lynchburg got measurable snow with this one for the first time since March 8, 2019. Ended their epic drought.
 
0 sign of any snow in Raleigh ! Wow. Even back home though most of the stuff even in the shade is gone . no where stayed below freezing today even the areas with most snow. RDU hasn’t had any sub 40 highs this month and only 1 this entire winter . It’s 39 currently at RDU so decent chance inter obs may have touched 40.

Looks like it was still 41 at midnight, anyways. The winter of mild misery continues...

Yea, I'm on top of a hill in Penn Forest and got 2+ but was hard to guess because it was blowing around so places I normally measure were contaminated by chunks blowing out of trees. I was all snow by 1115.

Nam was way late to the party but in the end was closer to right with amounts. I did not see the NRV guys post from Bburg or Cburg. Bet they did much better at 2000 feet +

Congrats NE NC folks!

I went up to mill mountain to witness the changeover and it went from a little mixing to full on whiteout in about 10 minutes. I could barely see anything in front my car. As I was driving down the mountain it was going from snow to rain and when I got down to the city level it was almost all rain. 15 minutes later it was all snow at the city level.
 
About 30% coverage still but I do back up to a pine forest. 0.5” of melt on the station with 2.5” accum is a ratio of 5:1, SWAG is closer to 7:1 avg with 3-3.5” falling. Mini paste job, a sight to see it dropping from the trees today. Congrats, new seasonal avg given this warming period, years we blank are coming more frequent.

We got between 3-4 inches. Ground still totally covered with afternoon Temps only in the mid 20s.
 
I'm late to this party, but saw some great pics the last few pages. Nice 158 special for some of you. :p

I figure was about 2'' here. I had to run an errand this morning and was amazed at how beautiful the snow capped trees were. Roads were mostly just wet or slushy--no big deal. I actually think they'll much be worse tomorrow morning.

Now to watch the next one..
