Wintry 1/9-12 Winter Potential Great Dane or Yorkie

First flakes here. Let’s see where it goes.

 

[cyclogent]

Close to 3.5" of snow here. Highest rates were around 1 to 1.25 per hour just before we flipped to sleet.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

It’s possible but we need to hurry and get some rates otherwise we are ------. Hoping these increasing returns west of CLT start putting in some work. We are on limited time View attachment 162497

This ain’t it if you’re wanting good accums. But if you are satisfied with watching it fall heavy at times you’ll leave here with a W

 

[MichaelJ]

Snowing heavily here now, driveway and road almost covered 32/8 with 40% humidity, very dry snow

It's definitely rate driven, good luck brother.

 

[iGRXY]

It's really putting it down here.

Ain’t lookin good down here. You guys may be better off.

That was one of your old rules I always appreciated. Don’t call bust before it even starts

Looks like the sleet monster has already shown up on Charlotte’s doorstep. Having this initial band show up during the middle of the afternoon cuts out the few extra degrees of boundary layer cooling you desperately need in a storm like this

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Heavy rate driven snow. I’m cool with it. Give me 10 more hours of this back and forth and I think I can manage an inch lol

 

[WinterWishes]

Sleeting here, just west Of Fayetteville NC

 

[Chazwin]

Just started here very light sleet with a little bit of dandruff

Same here. I’m hoping those heavy returns to the west and southwest can crash the column

Thanks for explaining that reason for sleet at onset. It also appears to my untrained eye that we may get way less precip according to radar returns south and west from the Charlotte area? Is this correct?

3" so far and still coming down hard!

 

[weatherfide]

Why is my temp stubborn to move up? Sitting at 32 with a wetbulb of 31.1 with rain on the way. Already have ice in the trees.

 

[SimeonNC]

Now there's nothing falling lol wth

The ice accrual you saw earlier is absorbing latent heat as it melts away, keeping your temp at freezing a bit longer

You may already know this, but others may not, but this is completely normal and happens in all of these events. The radar beam is increasing with height as it goes away from the radar, so it looks like it is snowing all around it but in reality the column is slowly moistening with height. That's why the ring will slowly close in as the column moistens downward with time.

This is why when you look at higher tilts, the ring of radar returns is closing in.

Yeah but I wouldn’t fully rule out that cursed thing lol

I thought all the bust calls from some AL/MS/GA posters before they over performed would’ve taught us something, but I guess not!

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

It's amazing how uniform the temps are across the Atlanta metro. Usually the Northern burbs would be a few degrees cooler, but it looks like everyone is between 31 and 33.

 

[iGRXY]

Column collapsed back towards I77 at 850

 

[tractor girl]

I'm just happy that so many of us on the board got some snow.

WELL DONE BOARD, WE SCORED!!!!

 

[Sctvman]

Temps holding at 38 here James Island while Goose Creek/North Charleston/Summerville still at 33 or below.

 

[SouthSideYankee]

The NWS says we could start seeing snow a little earlier than expected, in the next few hours for the triangle. That band is filling in faster.

 

[Snow_chaser]

We have light freezing rain falling and icicles are growing.

 

[campamy]

And changeover begins. Definite sleet and snow mix and I still haven't got to play in it yet. 28 degrees here.
edited-Back to all snow and coming down hard. This is wild.

So far about 8 minutes worth of small flakes

 

[rburrel2]

The upstate is finally gonna get heavy consistent rates here in a few hours... the problem is we probably stay sleet at that point, but it's not a given, could go back to snow. I wouldn't give up hope yet.
Rates have dropped off here but i'm still lighting snowing after a brief period of mixing with sleet.

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Raining here at 32.6

First snow flurries falling

 

[JQPublic]

What is causing so many dry slots in the precipitation as it moves west?

wasn't the dryness predicted?

 

[Rain Cold]

Light steady snow here. Ground frosted.

 

[njbarrineau]

Which models? I thought it was showing light
Precip a few days back but then QPF ticked up. I noticed the Graf picked up on it this morning
