Wintry Feb. 19-20

1” of snow reported in the last hour near Lewisville

 

[FallsLake]

Nice winter morning. Snow covered trees/ground and light snow falling.

 

[jrips27]

Wasn’t expecting anything near ATL so this is a win for the NW side

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

These mountain streamers are sick

 

[Mitch West]

I feel like the northern part in NC is going to die off fast... But I think the SC portion is going to cook b/c it's get the meso-low/frontal boundary going for it. I-26 heading to columbia and the greenwood area gonna get smoked, imo.

I hope you're right. I don't get the best feeling about it honestly. I'd like to see the radar respond a little better over the next hour.

Yep, same look. But we lucked out on that one with the pivot and that little line just sat on us for hours. That was a nice surprise after the disappointing totals the day before when the sleet came in quick.

Yea that Corridor of Western Rowan - Troutman and up through @Frosty absolutely got hammered with that Pivot good fortune

EDIT : Check your point forecast NWS says 1-2 here now

Wonder what’s going on in these. It’s already snowing at a good clip as is. Ground is white again, and roads are whitening up

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

This a win? I’m torn

 

[NCSNOW]

Still snowing pretty good up here. Caught a inch in about 50 mins so far.

 

[norcarolinian]

a fresh inch on the ground. still pouring

Considering you have an hour left to go with heavier rates coming... definitely a win.

 

[Ward Cleaver]

Hooray! And an overachieving ULL saves this system from being a complete disappointment for my backyard. I kept telling my wife last night that the real fun and games would start this morning. Even after thirty-one years of marriage, she’s still incredulous of my amateur insight. Who’s laughing now, dear?

Radar shows it weakening over upstate SC now. This a NC show I'm afraid.

We had some pretty big flurries falling when I left the house at 6am.

850 mesolow west of Charlotte, but I do like how 850 frontogenesis is setting up over Central NC!

[weatherfide]

Very light, flurries, here, but the wind is crazy. Power might be lost at some point. 26 degrees!

 

[Iceagewhereartthou]

Well that last band was good to me. Pretty close to a half inch!

 

[Fountainguy97]

I was always chasing the trailing energy here in NW snow country. We have a very deep DGZ and moisture up into the 700mb layer. Models almost always underestimate the potential of a setup like that even out across NC and SC.

I'd say we already have more than we did yesterday and it's still cranking. Up to 2" storm total (1" yesterday and at least 1+" today). Roads aren't as bad as I would of thought, though, which is good

U mean to tell me CNC might just score on back to back systems? Although tbf the triad already getting it good with snow

Those super narrow bands of snow over TN/GA/AL are showing up really well on visible satellite.

[Snow_chaser]

lol our rooftops are white and getting stickage on decks.

 

[Webberweather53]

Most of the snow this morning over NC is right along or near the 850mb cold front. As usual, due to greater terrain blocking, the arrival of this low level cold advection was delayed in upstate SC, which is why snow is struggling to crank there.

Eventually, even in NC, mass subsidence from cold advection will win out against frontal lifting and shut off the precipitation.

Hence, why this is a burst of snow that will only last a few hours or so

 

[weather bubba]

That's a nice band of snow dropping in from Virginia on radar. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if it holds together and puts down another half inch to an inch on top of what we have already got. It could fill in the footprints I made in my yard yesterday.

The snow is heavier up into northern NC and Virginia because you’re closer to the DGZ at the 850mb level, in addition to some better help from the vort max aloft.

 

[superjames1992]

Haven’t noticed anything here yet although I’ve been busy trying to catch up on all the work I haven’t gotten done this week (distractions, aka snow lol). I hope that band holds together to make it to MBY but I don’t have my hopes up.

Happy for those of you who largely missed out yesterday who are scoring today!

 

[jrips27]

My parents sent me a picture of some of the flakes in Kennesaw. Very intricate designs

Absolute insanity how my iredell/meck was in the bulleye for this and they heaviest band still finds a way to find greensbor and eastern nc, rich get richer. I'll take my tiny flakes im getting now though

 

[FortMillSCWx]

Had graupel and RZ most of the morning. Now we have some bigger flakes with Moderate Snow. (Fort Mill, SC suburb of CLT)

You think it will hold together and translate east or dry up?

That’s why the bullseye doesn’t mean much with these, they’re just impossible to predict where the bands will setup until the last minute. I think that band will probably fall apart some as it heads east, so I doubt it’s going to bullseye Eastern NC.

its been pouring snow here for 1.5hrs.... Ive gotten around an inch from this. Storm Total dang near 1.8 - 2" ( Call it 2 on your map please @Webberweather53)

 

[broken025]

Looks like this thing fell apart as it was going through Meck

 

[markemark]

Nice snow here in the Taylors Greer SC area. Being north of I85 worked out again!
