Wintry Feb. 19-20

Most of the forcing for ascent for this burst of snow this morning is in the low levels.

This also explains why some of you have started seeing precip before any returns showed up on radar. That’s simply because a lot of the forcing for ascent is below the height of the radar beam.

It is cold & saturated enough in the low levels just below the DGZ to at least see some sleet/graupel before the DGZ fully saturates and is properly lifted, which then changes things to snow
 
Last hour had light/moderate snow in Huntersville. Maybe .6 inches maybe? Beautiful to look at, but not sticking to roads, or sidewalks much. Sun angle must mean business.
Yeah pretty much the same here. Maybe a little less. Supposedly 29 degrees here but only partial stickage on paved areas
 
10am meeting ended after 5 minutes, hell yeah. With weenie colored glasses, I can see that line pivoting as it moves NW to SE and training over MBY. 🤓

Crazy that after 3.5”+ of snow, I have a patch of dry road out front because the asphalt is so warm and a lot of the snow came close to noon (although the road in general is quite icy). Wish some more snow would’ve come during the very late afternoon or evening last night, but oh well! Haha. I sound ungrateful! Good thing with anything we get today is that it’s going to be heavy if it comes, and it’ll be snow on top of snow.
 
Looks like this band might make it to me in Youngsville!!
